Overview
Migrating from Oracle PeopleSoft to Infor Cloudsuite is a database-first project. PeopleSoft has no public REST API for bulk export; all records live in Oracle or SQL Server tables whose PS_XXX naming and relationships require PeopleTools schema knowledge to navigate. We connect directly to the underlying database, reverse-engineer record definitions, and extract Chart of Accounts, GL journals, AP and AR invoices, open POs, inventory items, and full HCM employee, job, position, and department hierarchies. Infor's CloudSuite migration utility accepts data through its import-source-table interface, but the source-side extraction, transformation, and sequencing work is entirely our scope. We preserve effective dates for HCM audit trails, remap PeopleSoft setIDs and business units to Infor company and cost-center structures, and flag every custom PeopleCode script and Application Engine process for manual rebuild in Infor OS. Workflows, Integration Broker interfaces, and approval chains do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild post-migration.
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 Oracle PeopleSoft 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 PeopleSoft
Chart of Accounts (ACCOUNT_TBL, JOBS, JOBcodes)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts
1:1PeopleSoft stores the complete COA in ACCOUNT_TBL and related tables with effective dates (DT_EFFECTIVE, DT_TERMINATION) and SetIDs governing access across business units. We extract all active and historical rows, preserving the effective-date range. Infor CloudSuite uses a company-level account structure where each company has its own chart of accounts definition. We map PeopleSoft's SetID-based COA to Infor's company accounts by resolving the SetID-to-company relationship during extraction, and handle any inactive accounts by setting an appropriate Infor status flag. Account codes and descriptions transfer directly; extended attributes map to Infor account extension fields.
Oracle PeopleSoft
General Ledger Journal Entries (GL_JRNL_HEADER, GL_JRNL_LINE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Journal Batches
1:1GL_JRNL_HEADER and GL_JRNL_LINE store journal entries with ledger, fiscal year, accounting date, and source system fields. We preserve the original journal ID and line number, but PeopleSoft's fiscal period calendar structure may differ from Infor's fiscal calendar configuration. We flag any journals whose accounting date falls in a period that is closed or does not exist in Infor, and escalate to the customer for period calendar alignment before loading. Historical GL data volume can be large; we filter to open and recent closed periods by default unless the customer specifies a deeper history scope.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Accounts Payable Invoices (AP_INVOICE_HEADER, AP_INVOICE_LINE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoices
1:1PeopleSoft uses a voucher schema for AP where voucher records represent the financial obligation before or after payment. We extract AP_INVOICE_HEADER and AP_INVOICE_LINE for open and recent historical invoices, preserving payment status, vendor ID references, GL distribution lines, and invoice number. PeopleSoft's voucher-to-invoice distinction requires a mapping decision during scoping: if the destination Infor AP module expects invoices only, we filter vouchers that are pre-invoice drafts. We map vendor IDs from PeopleSoft's VENDOR_TABLE to Infor's supplier records using a vendor ID mapping table built during master data load.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Accounts Receivable Invoices (AR_BILL_LINE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoices
1:1AR_BILL_LINE and associated records store receivables with billing cycle, customer ID, amount, and payment terms. We extract open AR items and recent history, preserving the customer relationship and amount fields. PeopleSoft's billing cycle configuration maps to Infor's invoice cycle settings. Note that payment terms and credit limit data transfer from PeopleSoft's CUST_TABLE to Infor's customer master to maintain payment behavior continuity.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Customers / Bill-To Accounts (CUST_TABLE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customers
1:1PeopleSoft maintains customer records across FSCM and CRM modules in CUST_TABLE and related tables. We de-duplicate across modules, preserving Sold-To and Ship-To addresses, credit limits, customer profile, and W-9 or tax registration data. The customer number (CUST_ID) maps to Infor's customer ID, and address structure maps from PeopleSoft's multi-address format to Infor's address book entries with the address type preserved.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Vendors / Supplier Accounts (VENDOR_TABLE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Suppliers
1:1Vendor records in VENDOR_TABLE include addresses, payment terms, W-9 status, tax IDs, and routing rules tied to PeopleSoft's purchasing business unit. We extract the full vendor hierarchy and preserve any routing rules by mapping the purchasing BU to Infor's company or plant entity. Tax ID (TAX_ID) transfers to Infor's tax registration field; 1099 status maps to the Infor vendor tax configuration.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Purchase Orders (PO_HDR, PO_LINE)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Orders
1:1PO_HDR and PO_LINE store purchase order headers and lines with approval status, buyer ID, and schedule dates. We extract open and recently closed PO rows, preserving PO ID and line numbers for destination ordering continuity. Infor's PO structure uses order types and line statuses that we map from PeopleSoft's PO status codes. Any PO that is approved in PeopleSoft but has not yet received goods may need to be re-approved in Infor depending on the customer's cutover policy; we document this as a post-load admin action.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Inventory Items (INV_ITEM_MASTER, INV_ITEMS_CF)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Items
1:1INV_ITEM_MASTER and INV_ITEMS_CF store item definitions with unit of measure, cost, category codes, and business-unit-specific inventory flags. We map PeopleSoft's business-unit inventory flags to Infor's warehouse or plant entity. Unit of measure conversions are extracted from a separate UOM table and loaded into Infor's UOM conversion table. Item categories map by code; if the category code set differs between systems, we build a category mapping table during the master data phase.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Employees (EMPLOYEES, PERSONAL_DATA)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employees
1:1EMPLOYEES and PERSONAL_DATA hold the core employee record with hire date, termination date, HR status, and manager hierarchy. PeopleSoft assigns sequential numeric EMPLID values that may need remapping if Infor assigns its own employee identifiers. We preserve the original EMPLID in a custom field (e.g., legacy_employee_id__c) and work with the customer to decide on ID coexistence strategy during the scoping phase. Manager hierarchy is extracted from the supervisor relationship stored in JOB records and loaded as a reporting structure in Infor HCM.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Jobs / Job Codes (JOB, JOBCODE_TBL)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Jobs
1:1JOB and JOBCODE_TBL store position-based and job-based HR data with effective-date sequences that are critical for compliance audits. We extract the full JOB record sequence for each employee, preserving job code, grade, salary grade, FLSA status, full-time/part-time designation, and the effective date of each job row. The effective-date sequencing means we must load records in chronological order; we build a SQL-ordered extraction by EMPLID and EFFDT to ensure the history reconstructs correctly in Infor. We also enumerate any custom fields added to the JOB record that require field-level mapping.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Positions (POSITION_DATA)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Positions
1:1POSITION_DATA stores position details with incumbent assignment, budgeted headcount, and department. Where organizations run mixed position-based and job-based structures, we separate them and carry both into Infor's position management module. The incumbent-to-position linkage, stored across JOB and POSITION_DATA with EFFSEQ sequencing, is reconstructed from the ordered row extraction. Infor's position setup uses position IDs and business titles that map from PeopleSoft's position number and job title respectively.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Departments / Cost Centers (DEPT_TBL)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Departments / Cost Centers
1:1DEPT_TBL contains the organizational hierarchy with effective-date rows and SetIDs governing security access. We extract the full department tree, preserving the SetID relationship to the Chart of Accounts. Infor's department or cost center structure uses a company-based hierarchy that we map from PeopleSoft's SetID-scoped hierarchy. Effective dates on DEPT_TBL rows are preserved by loading in sequence and mapping to Infor's effective-date field if supported, or by using Infor's as-of-date reporting for historical reconstruction.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Benefits Records (BENEFIT_PARTICIPATION)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Benefit Elections
1:1BENEFIT_PARTICIPATION and related records store enrollment, plan assignments, and coverage dates. We extract current benefit elections and carry forward plan names mapped to Infor HCM's benefit plan structure. Note that Infor CloudSuite HCM is less feature-rich than PeopleSoft Benefits Administration; organizations with complex multi-plan benefit structures should validate that Infor's benefit module covers their plan types during the scoping phase. We flag any benefit plan types that do not have a direct Infor equivalent and document them for the customer to configure post-migration.
Oracle PeopleSoft
Payroll Earnings and Deductions (PAY_EARNINGS, DEDUCTION_RESULT)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Payroll Balances
1:1PeopleSoft Payroll stores pay calculations in PAY_EARNINGS and DEDUCTION_RESULT with pay group, FLSA status, and year-to-date amounts. We extract last pay date and YTD balances mapped to Infor CloudSuite HCM payroll or to a customer-maintained payroll system if the organization decides to keep payroll in PeopleSoft. Many organizations running this migration choose to separate payroll from the initial migration scope because PeopleSoft Payroll is deeply integrated with the HR data model and any disruption to payroll processing carries immediate employee impact. We document the YTD carry-forward amounts for the customer's payroll administrator to set up in the destination system.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the PeopleSoft database across FSCM and HCM modules, enumerating all active business units, SetIDs, custom records, custom fields, and Application Engine processes. We connect to the PeopleSoft database (Oracle or SQL Server) with read-only credentials and reverse-engineer the PS_XXX table relationships relevant to the scope. We assess the effective-date history depth for HCM entities, identify the integration points via Integration Broker, and inventory custom PeopleCode scripts. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with a record-count estimate per object, a custom-field inventory, and a recommendation on which effective-date rows to include in the initial load versus a subsequent historical phase.
Infor CloudSuite schema configuration
We work with the customer's Infor implementation team to configure the legal entity and company hierarchy in Infor CloudSuite that corresponds to the PeopleSoft business-unit and SetID structure. We align the Chart of Accounts mapping, fiscal calendar configuration (particularly fiscal year start dates and period count), and the department/cost-center hierarchy. We use Infor's Migration Utility import-source-table interface to predefine the target table mappings so that the extracted PeopleSoft data can be staged in the Infor migration database. Any PeopleSoft SetIDs that map to multiple Infor companies are flagged for the customer to confirm the entity split before master data load begins.
Database extraction and transformation
We extract PeopleSoft data from the underlying Oracle or SQL Server database in dependency order: Chart of Accounts first, then organizational hierarchy (departments, job codes, positions), then master data (vendors, customers), then transactional data (GL journals, AP/AR invoices, POs, inventory items), and finally HCM data (employees, job history, positions). Each extraction query is ordered by effective date and EFFSEQ to preserve temporal sequences. We build field-level transformation scripts for every custom field identified during discovery, handle NULL and default value mapping, and produce a staging extract in the format required by Infor's Migration Utility. Custom PeopleCode behaviors that alter field calculations are flagged and documented for the customer to reimplement in Infor OS rather than carried as data.
Master data load
We load master data into Infor CloudSuite using the Migration Utility: Chart of Accounts with account type and effective dates, legal entity and company configuration, department hierarchy with SetID-to-company mapping, job codes and position records, vendor and customer master records with address structures and tax registrations. We use the import sequence predefined by Infor's Migration Utility because certain data must exist (Unit of Measure Codes, for example) before related data can be loaded. Each import step produces a log file that we review for validation errors, invalid foreign keys, and truncated values before proceeding to the next sequence.
Transactional data and HCM load
We load GL journal batches after fiscal period alignment is confirmed with the customer, AP and AR invoices with vendor and customer references resolved, open purchase orders with line items and approval flags, and inventory items with UOM conversions. For HCM, we load employees with EMPLID preserved in a legacy ID field, job history in effective-date order (current row first, historical rows second if scope includes history), and position-incumbent linkages. We run validation queries against PeopleSoft source totals after each phase and escalate any discrepancies above 1% before continuing. HCM benefit elections and payroll YTD balances are loaded as carry-forward amounts unless the customer chooses to keep payroll in PeopleSoft, in which case we document the carry-forward values for the customer's payroll administrator.
Cutover and handoff documentation
We freeze writes to PeopleSoft during the cutover window, run a final delta extraction for any records modified during the migration window, load the delta into Infor, and validate the final record counts. We enable Infor as the system of record once reconciliation passes. We deliver the PeopleCode and Application Engine inventory document, the Integration Broker interface map with ION equivalents for each message type, the approval chain and workflow handoff document for Infor OS rebuild, and the PeopleSoft report inventory for re-creation in Infor's reporting tools. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any data quality issues reported by the customer's users during the first week of Infor production use.
