Overview
Moving from Masterplan ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a structural migration with an unusual extraction dependency: Masterplan has no publicly documented REST API or self-service export endpoint, so every data pull requires vendor coordination and an active support contract. We build vendor coordination into the project plan as a gating milestone before field mapping begins. On the destination side, Infor CloudSuite uses a SQL Server-based migration utility that requires sequential load ordering—GL accounts before customers, customers before orders, BOMs before work orders—so we map the dependency graph during scoping and execute each phase in that order. We do not migrate workflows, custom field configurations, or user-defined automation rules; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin team to rebuild post-migration. Historical journal entries older than a configurable cutoff are excluded unless the customer confirms archiving settings before extraction.
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 Masterplan 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.
Masterplan
Customers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1Masterplan Customer records map to Infor Business Partner records with Role = Customer. We extract customer name, billing address, shipping address, payment terms, credit limit, currency, and tax ID. The Customer number from Masterplan becomes the Business Partner ID in Infor. If Masterplan stores multiple shipping addresses per customer, each ships as a separate Business Partner Address record linked to the parent Business Partner.
Masterplan
Vendors
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1Masterplan Vendor records map to Infor Business Partner records with Role = Supplier. Address, payment terms, W-9 data, and 1099 eligibility flags migrate as Business Partner attributes. The vendor number becomes the Business Partner ID. We flag any Masterplan vendor records that share an email domain with a customer record for the customer admin to review for potential duplication.
Masterplan
Items / Products
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Part
1:1Masterplan Item records (Finished Goods, Raw Materials, Components, Services) map to Infor Item master records. Item type, costing method (Standard, Average, FIFO), unit of measure, and default warehouse all migrate. The Masterplan item number becomes the Infor Item Code. We extract the costing configuration separately and map it to Infor's cost set structure. If Masterplan stores volume or weight-based pricing, we flag these for manual entry in Infor's pricing module.
Masterplan
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1The Masterplan GL hierarchy (account number, name, type, department, cost center) maps to Infor GL Account records. We extract the full account structure and preserve parent rollup relationships. Account types (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) map directly to Infor GL Account Type. If Masterplan uses a cost-center dimension that Infor does not expose as a native GL dimension, we map it to an Infor OS extended field or document it as a manual post-migration configuration step.
Masterplan
Open AP / Vouchers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Payable / Voucher
1:1Outstanding payables from Masterplan (invoice number, vendor reference, amount, due date, aging bucket) map to Infor AP Voucher records. We normalize Masterplan's aging buckets to standard 30/60/90/120-day buckets and reconcile the total open AP balance to Infor's AP ledger before closing. Vouchers in Approved or Pending status migrate as open; Posted vouchers are excluded from the transaction migration but included in the balance-forward opening balance calculation.
Masterplan
Open AR / Invoices
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Receivable / Invoice
1:1Outstanding receivables from Masterplan (invoice number, customer reference, amount, due date, aging bucket) map to Infor AR Invoice records. We compute the aging distribution and reconcile total open AR to Infor's AR ledger. Any invoice with a disputed status in Masterplan is flagged and migrated as a note attached to the Infor invoice rather than a standard open record. Payment terms, freight terms, and tax amounts preserve at line-item level where Masterplan exposes them.
Masterplan
Sales Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Open Sales Orders from Masterplan map to Infor Sales Order records with their current status (Open, Confirmed, Partially Shipped). Line items, quantities ordered, unit prices, discount percentages, and scheduled ship dates migrate. For partially shipped orders, we capture the shipped quantity and compute the remaining open quantity. Order total and tax amount are reconciled to Infor's order total before migration. The Masterplan order number becomes the Infor External Reference field for traceability.
Masterplan
Purchase Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Open Purchase Orders from Masterplan map to Infor Purchase Order records. Line items, quantities ordered, unit costs, and delivery dates migrate. For partially received orders, we capture the received quantity and compute the remaining open quantity. We map Masterplan's vendor reference fields to Infor's supplier item number fields. Any blanket PO structure in Masterplan (parent blanket PO with release schedules) is extracted as separate Infor Purchase Orders with a common blanket PO reference field.
Masterplan
Inventory / Stock
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory / Stock
1:1On-hand quantities from Masterplan map to Infor Inventory records at the item-warehouse level. We extract quantity per warehouse and per bin location, then reassign to Infor's warehouse structure, which may differ from Masterplan's location hierarchy. Negative quantities, negative cost entries, and items with no price are flagged in the pre-migration data assessment report for the customer to correct before load. Inventory valuation amounts are reconciled to Infor's on-hand value report post-migration.
Masterplan
Bills of Materials
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Bill of Materials
lossyMasterplan multi-level BOMs with component quantities, scrap factors, phantom assemblies, and alternate BOMs require a design decision during scoping: preserve the full BOM tree structure or flatten to single-level BOMs. Infor CloudSuite Industrial supports multi-level BOMs natively, but the BOM explode logic differs from Masterplan's. We extract the full BOM tree from Masterplan and discuss with the customer whether to preserve nesting or flatten before load. Phantom assemblies are mapped to Infor's Phantom BOM flag. Routings attached to BOMs are extracted separately for Work Order mapping.
Masterplan
Work Orders / Manufacturing Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order
1:1Open and recent Work Orders from Masterplan map to Infor Work Order records. Status (Released, In Process, Complete, Closed), routing steps, labor hour estimates, material allocations, and backflush transactions migrate. Work Orders must be sequenced after BOMs and Items because Infor Work Orders reference the Item and BOM records by ID. Closed Work Orders older than the customer's historical cutoff are excluded from migration. Any in-process Work Order with partial material consumption is flagged and the customer decides whether to close it in Masterplan before cutover or migrate it as an open Infor Work Order with partial completions.
Masterplan
GL Journal Entries
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Journal Entry
1:1Historical journal entries migrate to Infor GL Journal Entry records if they fall within the customer's agreed lookback window. We extract entry date, journal code, account references, debit/credit amounts, and description. Entries with non-determinative amounts (rounding adjustments, currency revaluation) are flagged for the customer's GL team to review. Entries referencing accounts that do not exist in the destination chart are held in a reconciliation queue. Cutoff policy is agreed with the customer during scoping and confirmed against Masterplan's archive settings.

Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Vendor coordination and database access setup
We draft a support request for the customer to submit to Masterplan requesting read-only SQL Server database access or CSV exports of all core modules. We specify the exact tables and date ranges required in our discovery questionnaire. We also request confirmation of the archive cutoff date and any custom field storage locations. This milestone gates the start of field mapping; we cannot begin schema design without knowing how data will be extracted.
Discovery and data audit
We extract a representative data sample from Masterplan (typically the most recent 1,000 records per module) and audit it for data quality issues: duplicate customer names, inconsistent item codes, missing GL account mappings, negative inventory quantities, and unposted transactions. We produce a data quality report identifying issues that must be corrected before migration. We simultaneously review Infor CloudSuite's DataMap schema and confirm the target table structures for each module. The discovery output is a signed data map and a list of pre-migration data corrections.
Schema design and dependency mapping
We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite, including Business Partner roles, Item types and cost sets, GL account structure, warehouse hierarchy, and BOM routing configuration. We map the Masterplan-to-Infor dependency graph: GL accounts first, then Business Partners, then Items, then Inventory, then BOMs, then Orders, then Work Orders, then Journal Entries. For any Masterplan custom fields identified during discovery, we either map them to an Infor OS extended field or document them as requiring post-migration manual entry. Schema is deployed into a Sandbox or staging environment first for validation.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's finance and operations leads reconcile record counts (Business Partners in, GL accounts in, Items in, Orders in, Work Orders in), spot-check twenty to fifty random records against the Masterplan source, and sign off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, including account number conflicts, item code format issues, and name deduplication decisions, happen here.
Production migration in dependency sequence
We execute production migration in the dependency order defined during schema design: GL accounts, Business Partners (Vendors then Customers), Items and cost sets, Inventory, BOMs and Routings, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Work Orders, then Journal Entries. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and balance sheet or trial balance reconciliation where applicable. Open AP and AR aging is reconciled to the penny before we close the migration. Any records rejected by Infor validation rules are logged and corrected in the next iteration within the same phase.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory handoff
We freeze Masterplan writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then mark Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of all Masterplan custom fields, user-defined tables, and any workflows or automation rules the customer reported. This inventory is scoped for the customer's admin team to use as a rebuild checklist. We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation discrepancies. We do not rebuild Masterplan workflows, alerts, or custom field configurations in Infor CloudSuite as part of the migration scope.
