Overview
Moving from Oracle E-Business Suite to Infor Cloudsuite is a full ERP reimplementation, not a data copy. Oracle EBS stores transactional data across multiple base product schemas (RA_CUSTOMERS, HZ_PARTIES, PO_HEADERS, BOM_STRUCTURES_B, WIP_JOB_SCHEDULE_SCHEDULES, PA_PROJECTS_ALL) with referential integrity enforced through APPS-schema triggers and stored procedures; Infor Cloudsuite uses its own multi-tenant data model organized by functional domain. We extract from the APPS schema using Oracle-certified utilities against a cloned database copy, sequence entity loads in dependency order (Parties before Accounts, Accounts before Invoices, BOM levels in topological sequence), and resolve parent-record lookups at migration time. We do not migrate Oracle Workflows, Alerts, or concurrent program automations; we deliver a written inventory of every active concurrent program, request set, and workflow for the customer's implementation team to rebuild as Infor ION integrations or Infor Ming.le automations. Custom XX_ tables and FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEX extended attributes have no standard export path and are documented rather than migrated.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Oracle E-Business Suite 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.
Oracle E-Business Suite
GL Ledger
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Financial Management / Ledger
1:1Oracle GL stores multiple ledgers per legal entity with configurable segment structures in GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS. The chart of accounts (COA segments, flex values, cross-validation rules) migrates to Infor CloudSuite's Ledger structure. Journal batches and period balances are extracted from GL_BALANCES and GL_JE_BATCHES, with accounting date preservation and currency conversion rates loaded to maintain period-closing integrity. Segment structures require mapping to Infor's account code definition because the segment count and delimiter conventions differ between platforms.
Oracle E-Business Suite
AP Supplier
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor / Supplier
1:1AP_SUPPLIERS, AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL, and AP_SUPPLIER_BANKS store Oracle vendor records with address book linkage via HZ_PARTIES. Sites, payment terms, bank accounts, and purchasing assignment flags migrate to Infor CloudSuite's Vendor entity. Oracle's supplier-level hold status and invoice hold flags map to Infor's vendor approval workflow status. Address records with multiple sites require flattening to Infor's site-of-record structure, with primary-site designation preserved.
Oracle E-Business Suite
AR Customer / Party
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Party
1:manyOracle AR splits customer data across RA_CUSTOMERS (header), RA_ADDRESSES (sites), HZ_CONTACTS (contacts), HZ_PARTIES (name and classification), and RA_CUSTOMER_PROFILES (credit terms). We flatten these into Infor CloudSuite's Customer entity with contact and site sub-records. Profile class credit limits, payment terms, and dunning profiles migrate to Infor's customer financial settings. Customer type (person vs organization) is preserved from HZ_PARTIES.PARTY_TYPE.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Employee (HRMS)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Worker / Employee
1:1Oracle HRMS stores employees across PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F (personal information), PER_ASSIGNMENTS_F (job, grade, department, cost center, supervisor), and PER_PAYMENT_METHODS (payroll costing). Effective dates on assignments require date-range filtering at migration time to extract the current active assignment. Termination dates and historical assignments are preserved as prior-period records in Infor for audit completeness. Organization hierarchies from HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS map to Infor's operating unit structure.
Oracle E-Business Suite
AP Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice
1:1AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL store Oracle payables with header-line-detail structure, payment terms, hold status, and distribution accounting code combinations. We extract open invoices (not fully paid) and map Oracle's terms-date-based due date calculation to Infor's calendar-based due date engine. Oracle's invoice hold flags (budget hold, matching hold) require mapping to Infor's approval workflow states.
Oracle E-Business Suite
AR Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice
1:1RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL and RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL store Oracle receivables invoices (transaction headers) with transaction type, gl_date, and amount. Balance-owing amounts and aging buckets migrate to Infor's AR transaction records. Receipt records (AR_CASH_RECEIPTS) migrate separately as payment applications. Oracle's remittance bank account and payment method map to Infor's cash application rules.
Oracle E-Business Suite
PO Header / Line / Schedule
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1PO_HEADERS_ALL, PO_LINES_ALL, and PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL store Oracle purchasing documents with authorization status. Lines in APPROVED status are migrated as eligible; DRAFT, REJECTED, and CANCELLED lines are excluded unless the customer explicitly requests otherwise. Schedule-level quantities and promized dates migrate to Infor PO schedule lines. Ship-to organization references require mapping to Infor's inventory organization structure.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Inventory Organization
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory Organization / Warehouse
1:1MST_ORGANIZATIONS defines Oracle inventory org structure; MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B defines the item master with organization-specific on-hand quantities. Subinventory assignments, locator hierarchies (MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS), and lot/serial control parameters migrate to Infor CloudSuite's warehouse and inventory structure. Oracle's org-level security (MOAC) maps to Infor's operating unit and warehouse access controls. Multi-org inventory requires mapping each Oracle org_id to the corresponding Infor warehouse entity.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Item Master
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Product
1:1MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B stores Oracle item masters with template-based attributes, category assignments, lot/serial controls, and costing information. Items are extracted by inventory organization and mapped to Infor's item master, preserving the primary unit of measure, category assignments, and costing method (standard, average, FIFO). Template-driven attributes from Oracle's item template are resolved to Infor's item attribute groups.
Oracle E-Business Suite
BOM Structure
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Material / Recipe
lossyBOM_STRUCTURES_B and BOM_COMPONENTS_B store multi-level BOMs with common bill and alternate bill variants. The explode/implode relationship between levels requires topological sort before migration to avoid circular reference errors in Infor's BOM loading. We sequence parent items before component items, extract the full BOM hierarchy, and map Oracle's bill type (M, A, E for manufacturing, option, engineering) to Infor's bill classification. Routing-linked BOMs require BOM-Routing co-migration because Infor resolves the relationship at load time.
Oracle E-Business Suite
BOM Routing
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Routing / Work Center
lossyBOM_ROUTINGS_B and BOM_ROUTING_OPERATIONS store multi-step manufacturing routings with work center assignments, queue time, run time, and operation sequences. We map Oracle work center codes to Infor work center entities and resolve the routing-bill linkage by item number and alternate bill sequence. Routing steps require sequential operation numbering that preserves the original Oracle sequence to maintain Infor's scheduling accuracy.
Oracle E-Business Suite
WIP Work Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order / Work Order
1:1WIP_JOB_SCHEDULE_SCHEDULES stores discrete and process work orders with status codes (RELEASED, UNRELEASED, CLOSED, CANCELLED, COMPLETE). Open and released WIP jobs migrate to Infor production orders with material allocation and routing step sequencing. Closed and cancelled jobs are migrated as historical records with actual costing data. Oracle's WIP entity type (discrete vs repetitive vs project) maps to Infor's production order type classification.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Project / Expenditure
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project / Costing
1:1PA_PROJECTS_ALL and PA_EXPENDITURES store Oracle project costing with project headers, phases, tasks, resource breakdown structures, and costed transaction lines. Top-down and bottom-up budgeting structures require separate mapping passes. Billing rates, worktype assignments, and expenditure organization references migrate to Infor's project costing module. Capital vs expense project classification is preserved from PA_PROJECT_TYPES.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Fixed Asset
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Asset / Fixed Asset
1:1FA_ASSETS_B and FA_ASSET_BOOKS store Oracle fixed assets with book-specific depreciation methods, asset categories, and asset registers. Multiple asset books (tax, GAAP, management) are mapped to Infor's asset book structure. Depreciation conventions (half-year, mid-month) and asset life parameters migrate to preserve the depreciation schedule in the target system.
Oracle E-Business Suite
Attachment / Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management
1:1FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS and FND_LOBS store files associated with entities across Oracle EBS modules. Binary LOB data or file paths are extracted and mapped to Infor CloudSuite's document management linkage table. We preserve the original document category and entity linkage so that documents attach to the correct Infor entity. Large binary attachments (over 50MB per file) may require separate handling for Infor's document storage limits.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and module audit
We audit the source Oracle E-Business Suite environment by querying APPS_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS to identify active modules, then sample each module's base table row counts and identify the deployed custom XX_ table structures. We document the chart of accounts segment count, the number of active ledgers, the inventory organization count, the BOM level depth, and the WIP job volume by status. We produce a module-usage matrix that distinguishes active modules from licensed-but-unused modules, which informs both the migration scope and the Infor CloudSuite edition sizing.
Source schema extraction against cloned database
We extract data from a cloned Oracle EBS database copy, never from production, to avoid locking issues. We use Oracle Data Pump or PL/SQL-based extraction scripts scoped to the active modules identified in discovery, with parallel query execution on the cloned database to manage extraction time. Custom XX_ tables are documented separately from the standard migration; they are not extracted as part of the automated migration scope. The extraction output is a set of staged CSV files organized by entity in dependency order.
Destination schema design and BOM sequencing
We design the Infor CloudSuite destination schema based on the customer's selected CloudSuite edition (Industrial, Distribution, or another variant). BOM structures are analyzed for circular references and topological sort order before any load script is written. We resolve Oracle inventory organization codes to Infor warehouse entities, Oracle COA segments to Infor account code definitions, and Oracle employee assignments to Infor worker records with effective dates. The BOM routing co-migration plan is finalized to ensure routing-bill linkage is satisfied at load time.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Infor CloudSuite sandbox using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer's implementation team reconciles entity counts against the Oracle source, spot-checks 25-50 records per entity for data accuracy (account codes, supplier sites, BOM component quantities, WIP status), and validates that BOM topological order resolves without circular reference errors. The sandbox migration output is a reconciliation report that identifies any mapping corrections before the production migration is scheduled.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict entity dependency order: Ledgers and COA first, then Suppliers, then Customers, then AP Invoices, then AR Invoices, then PO Headers and Lines, then Inventory Organizations and Items, then BOM Structures (topologically sequenced), then BOM Routings, then WIP Work Orders, then Projects and Expenditures, then Fixed Assets, then Attachments last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and a sample data accuracy check. Attachments (FND_LOBS) are loaded after all parent entities to ensure that document linkage resolves correctly.
Cutover, delta reconciliation, and automation handoff
We freeze Oracle EBS writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration, then close the migration scope and mark Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the concurrent program and workflow inventory document to the customer's implementation team. We support a two-week post-migration hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Oracle concurrent programs, Alerts, or Business Events as Infor ION workflows; that work is handled by the customer's Infor implementation team using the automation inventory as their source document.
