Overview
Moving from Open-Prod to Infor CloudSuite is a SQL-to-cloud ERP migration that requires careful sequencing of data dependencies. Open-Prod stores operational data across production, logistics, after-sales service, accounting, and project modules in a SQL database; Infor CloudSuite receives data through its migration utility or ION middleware with a defined dependency order (Unit of Measure Codes before Unit of Measure Conversion, Accounts before Contacts). We extract Open-Prod data via direct SQL queries, stage it in a CloudSuite migration database, validate against CloudSuite column rules, and resolve parent-record lookups before final transfer. Open-Prod's undocumented custom field schema and unconfirmed attachment export mechanism require direct customer access for mapping; these are flagged as scope constraints during scoping rather than assumed migratable. Infor CloudSuite's Mongoose framework supports custom objects, but we pre-create the destination schema before any data moves so that lookup relationships resolve correctly at import time. Workflows, automations, and reporting configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Infor partner to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Open-Prod 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.
Open-Prod
Customer/Account
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer (M3) / Account (CSI)
1:1Open-Prod customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Customer in M3 or Account in CloudSuite Industrial. The customer name, address, tax ID, and payment terms migrate directly. Customer balance and credit limit require reconciliation because Open-Prod may carry aged balances that CloudSuite distributes across AR sub-ledger records. We stage the customer master in the CloudSuite migration database first because all downstream records (orders, projects, service tickets) have a Customer foreign key.
Open-Prod
Product/Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (M3) / Item (CSI)
1:1Open-Prod item records (product details, pricing, unit of measure, SKU) map to Infor CloudSuite Item or Product. Unit of Measure Codes must be migrated before Item records because Items reference UOM in their product structure. We flag any Open-Prod variant structures (size/color matrices, BOM-linked items) for explicit mapping because CloudSuite stores variants differently depending on whether the customer uses M3 or CloudSuite Industrial.
Open-Prod
Inventory
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory/Stock
1:1Open-Prod stock levels across warehouse locations map to CloudSuite Inventory. We extract current inventory positions with warehouse assignment and on-hand quantity. Open-Prod purchase orders and pending shipments require sequencing after inventory to avoid double-counting stock during the migration window. We recommend freezing Open-Prod inventory transactions for the final migration period and posting all pending receipts before extraction.
Open-Prod
Order/Sales Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order / Purchase Order
1:1Open-Prod sales orders and invoices map to CloudSuite Sales Order. Invoice lineage and line-item details migrate with order headers linked to the Customer mapping. We flag any post-migration invoice numbering conflicts because CloudSuite assigns document numbers from a configured number series; if Open-Prod used overlapping ranges, the customer's admin must reconcile number series before migration or accept CloudSuite-assigned numbers with a cross-reference table.
Open-Prod
Project
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project / Work Order
1:1Open-Prod project records with tasks and milestones map to CloudSuite Project or Work Order depending on the operational nature (service project vs manufacturing work order). Task dependencies and custom fields require manual review because Open-Prod's custom field schema is not publicly documented. We extract all project records with their hierarchy intact and flag any custom task fields for the customer's Infor partner to configure post-migration.
Open-Prod
Service/After-Sales Record
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Service Order / Service Agreement
1:1Open-Prod after-sales service tickets map to CloudSuite Service Order or Service Agreement. Status and priority fields translate to CloudSuite service request status values. If Open-Prod stores service history linked to the original Product (serial number, warranty terms), we map that to the CloudSuite Item serial number and warranty tracking features. Customer asset records migrate as Equipment or Asset records in CloudSuite.
Open-Prod
Custom Fields
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Fields / Extended Fields
lossyOpen-Prod custom fields cannot be automatically mapped because their schema is not publicly documented. We require direct SQL access to the customer's Open-Prod database during scoping to enumerate custom column names, data types, and table associations. These map to CloudSuite Mongoose extended fields or custom BOD elements. Mongoose custom objects use the Form Sync Copy utility to transfer between configurations, but source schema must be known before design begins.
Open-Prod
Attachment
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Document Management (IDM)
1:1Open-Prod attachment storage lacks a confirmed public export mechanism. We flag attachment migration as out of scope for standard migration until we can validate export capability through direct database access. If Open-Prod stores file paths or BLOBs in SQL tables, we can extract them and load into Infor Document Management (IDM) post-migration, but this requires a custom extraction script validated against the customer's specific Open-Prod version and configuration.
Open-Prod
Unit of Measure
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Unit of Measure Code
lossyOpen-Prod unit of measure definitions (UOM codes, conversion factors) must migrate before any Item, Bill of Materials, or routing data because CloudSuite enforces referential integrity on UOM references. We extract the UOM master first, then UOM conversion tables, before loading any product or production data. This is the first data load in every CloudSuite migration sequence.
Open-Prod
Financial Entries/Journal
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
General Ledger / Financials
1:1Open-Prod accounting module entries (journal lines, account balances, AP/AR) require mapping to the CloudSuite Chart of Accounts. We extract open AP and AR records with aging buckets and map to CloudSuite Vendor/Customer with corresponding GL account assignments. Closed periods migrate as historical data; open periods require coordination with the customer's finance team to determine cutover date and any required period adjustments in CloudSuite.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and SQL schema access
We request direct SQL read access to the customer's Open-Prod database to enumerate table names, column names, data types, primary and foreign key relationships, and any custom field extensions. We audit record counts across Customers, Products, Inventory, Orders, Projects, Service Records, and Financial Entries. We identify the Open-Prod version and any version-specific schema differences. The discovery output is a written schema map, record volume summary, and migration feasibility assessment including any custom field and attachment scope constraints.
Target CloudSuite environment preparation
We work with the customer's Infor representative or Infor partner to provision a CloudSuite migration database (new, initialized) with the Migration Utility pack installed. We verify the Infor DataMap includes the correct form licenses and form-group authorizations for the migration target tables. We document the target Chart of Accounts, UOM code structure, and any existing CloudSuite master data that will conflict with migrating Open-Prod records (customer numbers, item numbers, warehouse codes).
Data dependency mapping and sequencing design
We design the CloudSuite Import Steps sequence based on dependency rules: UOM Codes, UOM Conversions, then Items, then BOMs and routings, then Customers, then Inventory, then Orders, then Projects, then Service Records, then Financials. We configure source filters where Open-Prod data requires segmentation (for example, only importing open Orders or only importing orders with a specific status). We pre-create any Mongoose custom objects in the target configuration using Form Sync Copy utility before data migration begins.
Sandbox migration and data validation
We run a full migration into the CloudSuite migration database using production-like data volumes extracted from Open-Prod SQL. We generate the Data Assessment Report from CloudSuite Migration Utility and review for invalid values, missing required fields, and orphaned foreign keys. The customer's operations lead spot-checks 25-50 migrated records against the Open-Prod source. Any column rule violations or data transformations required are corrected in the mapping, and the migration re-runs. This cycle repeats until validation passes.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in the validated sequence. Each import step emits a row-count reconciliation report. We freeze Open-Prod transactions for the final migration window (typically a weekend) and extract the final delta of any records created or modified since the sandbox run. After each phase, we validate totals against Open-Prod reports (customer count, item count, open order value, inventory balance by warehouse). We do not proceed to the next phase if reconciliation fails.
Cutover, IDM attachment handoff, and automation inventory
We copy validated migration database tables to the CloudSuite production site database. We deliver a written inventory of all Open-Prod workflows, automations, and reporting configurations that require rebuild in CloudSuite, addressed to the customer's Infor partner. We deliver an attachment extraction script (if SQL attachment paths were identified) for loading into Infor Document Management. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first production week. We do not rebuild Open-Prod workflows, automations, or reports inside the migration scope.
