Overview
Moving from Lead Commerce to Infor CloudSuite is a structural ERP migration that begins with an export method assessment before any data moves. Lead Commerce does not publish a documented REST API for bulk export, so migrations rely on CSV extraction from within the application or a direct SQL Server database query that the customer authorizes from their own Lead Commerce account. Infor CloudSuite receives data through its Migration Utility, which requires a SQL Server 2008 or later source database and sequences imports in a dependency order that demands master data (customers, items, warehouses) before transactions (orders, POs). We handle that sequencing, resolve parent-record lookups at import time, and flag custom app data and saved reports as non-portable so the customer's Infor admin can rebuild them post-migration. Workflows, automations, and saved Lead Commerce reports do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the admin to rebuild manually.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Lead Commerce object lands in Infor CloudSuite Corporate, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Lead Commerce
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer
1:1Lead Commerce Customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Customer (or Supplier depending on party type). The customer name, contact details, email, phone, and address fields migrate directly. We deduplicate by email during import and preserve the customer-to-order linkage so that historical order context is not lost. If the destination Infor edition uses party-based architecture (Customer and Supplier as separate entities), we split by Lead Commerce's party type flag during the transform phase.
Lead Commerce
Inventory Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (Item Master)
1:1Lead Commerce inventory items carry SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, and stock level per warehouse. These map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master records. We flag any items with zero or negative quantities that may indicate data quality issues at the source. Unit of measure conversions require a mapping table if Lead Commerce uses non-standard UOM codes; Infor requires standard UOMs attached to the item record.
Lead Commerce
Warehouse Location
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse
1:1Lead Commerce warehouse records define physical locations where stock is held. These map to Infor CloudSuite Warehouse records, which must be replicated or consolidated depending on whether the target Infor edition supports the same warehouse hierarchy. Multi-location inventory in Lead Commerce requires per-warehouse record mapping so that stock levels land in the correct Infor warehouse context.
Lead Commerce
Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Lead Commerce order records with lifecycle stages (pending, processing, shipped, completed) map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order. We separate fulfilled from open orders during migration scoping. Completed orders land as historical records in Infor; open orders require careful cutover planning because Infor enforces transaction-status sequencing that Lead Commerce does not. Orders created during the migration window require manual entry post-migration or a pause in order creation at cutover.
Lead Commerce
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Lead Commerce PO records represent supplier-facing orders and map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order. Open POs and received POs need separate treatment. Received PO lines should map to landed inventory in Infor while open lines represent commitments that may need manual follow-up at the destination. Infor enforces PO approval workflows that may need to be configured post-migration if the source PO statuses do not map to Infor's approval states.
Lead Commerce
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User
1:1Lead Commerce user accounts and role assignments export as a flat list. We preserve role names and map them to Infor CloudSuite permission groups. The customer's Infor admin provisions matching User accounts before production migration so that OwnerId references on orders and POs resolve correctly. Users without a matching Infor account go to a reconciliation queue.
Lead Commerce
Custom Apps
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not Migrated (Flagged Separately)
1:1Lead Commerce custom app data that lives in the platform's database is flagged separately in our scope document. The app logic itself cannot be transferred and must be rebuilt or re-platformed at Infor. We identify any custom app data fields that overlap with standard objects (Customer, Order, Item) and include them in the standard migration where possible, but the application code requires a separate rebuild engagement.
Lead Commerce
Reporting Data
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not Migrated (Manual Export Required)
1:1Lead Commerce does not expose saved reports or historical analytics data through its export mechanisms. Customers who rely on period-end reporting in Lead Commerce should pull those reports as PDFs or screenshots before migration cutoff. We include a reporting export step in our pre-migration checklist. Infor CloudSuite custom reports must be rebuilt in Birst or another approved reporting tool; organizations with hundreds of saved reports should budget this rebuild effort separately.
Lead Commerce
Order Line Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order Line
1:1Lead Commerce order line items (product, quantity, unit price, discount) map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order Line. We resolve the Item reference (from the Item Master import) and the Sales Order header reference at migration time. Tax and shipping amounts from Lead Commerce map to Infor order-level charges where the Infor edition supports them.
Lead Commerce
PO Line Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order Line
1:1Lead Commerce PO line items map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order Line. Line status from Lead Commerce (open, partial, received, closed) maps to Infor's PO line receipt status. We flag any lines with partial receipts so that the customer's Infor admin can decide whether to receive remaining quantities against open POs or close them and create new orders.
Lead Commerce
Item Warehouse Stock
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Stock (per Warehouse)
1:manyLead Commerce stores stock levels per item per warehouse location. Infor CloudSuite maintains item stock at the warehouse level. We split each Lead Commerce inventory record by warehouse and create corresponding item stock records in Infor for each location. Zero-quantity items are imported with zero stock and flagged for the customer's review; negative quantities indicate data quality issues that require cleansing before import.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export method assessment and discovery
We audit the source Lead Commerce account across data volume (orders, inventory items, customers, POs, warehouse count), active users, and any custom app usage. We confirm the export method during this phase: CSV extraction from within the application for smaller datasets, or a direct SQL Server database query authorized by the customer for larger catalogs. We also identify any saved reports that require PDF export before cutoff and flag custom app data as non-migratable. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, the confirmed export method, and a pre-migration checklist for the customer to complete.
Infor edition selection and tenant provisioning
We pair the customer's business requirements with the appropriate Infor CloudSuite edition. CloudSuite Industrial targets discrete manufacturing; CloudSuite Distribution targets wholesale distribution; CloudSuite Financials targets finance-only deployments. We confirm the named-user count, required modules, and multi-site configuration with the customer. The destination Infor tenant must be provisioned and initialized before migration database setup begins. If the customer is using Infor's Leap program (fixed-fee, fixed-timeline implementation), we coordinate the data migration phase with the implementation partner's go-live schedule.
Source data extraction and staging
We extract data from Lead Commerce using the confirmed method. For CSV exports, we script the extraction per object type (Customers, Items, Warehouses, Orders, POs) with headers preserved and special characters handled. For SQL Server direct queries, we connect to the customer's authorized Lead Commerce database, extract the relevant tables, and stage them in a SQL Server instance that can communicate with the Infor Migration Utility. We validate row counts at this stage and flag any null foreign keys or orphaned records before proceeding.
Schema mapping and transformation
We design the field mapping between Lead Commerce source tables and Infor CloudSuite target forms. This includes mapping Lead Commerce order status values to Infor Sales Order statuses, Lead Commerce UOM codes to Infor standard UOMs, and Lead Commerce warehouse records to Infor warehouse locations. We identify transformation rules for data type conversions (date formats, decimal precision, picklist values) and apply them during the staging phase. The mapping document is reviewed by the customer before any data loads into the Infor migration database.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor Sandbox (or migration database if the Infor partner has not yet provisioned a Sandbox) using production-like data volume. The customer's Infor admin or implementation partner reconciles record counts (Customers in, Items in, Orders in, POs in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Lead Commerce source, and validates that inventory balances match at the warehouse level. Any mapping corrections, UOM gaps, or missing required fields are addressed here before production migration begins.
Production migration and cutover
We freeze Lead Commerce writes during cutover, run a final delta extraction of any records modified during the migration window, then load into the Infor CloudSuite production database via the Migration Utility. We load in dependency order: Warehouses first, then Items, then Customers, then Orders, then POs. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We deliver the custom app data inventory and the reporting export checklist to the customer's Infor admin for post-migration rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised during user acceptance testing.
