Overview
Moving from PayTraq to Acumatica is a structural migration: PayTraq stores all entities (clients, vendors, products, invoices, purchase orders, journal entries) in one logical database, while Acumatica separates concerns into distinct modules—Financials (GL, AR, AP), Distribution (SO, PO), Inventory, and Project Accounting—each with its own document-type lifecycle. FlitStack AI extracts PayTraq master data via its REST API (rate-limited to 1 request per second, 5,000 requests per day), maps each entity type to its Acumatica DAC equivalent, and loads data through Acumatica's Data Migration Mode (AR101000 / AP101000 / IN101000 screens) to suppress posting validation during the load. We preserve original document dates, invoice totals, and currency codes. Transaction histories and opening balances migrate as GL batches. PayTraq workflows, automation rules, and email notifications have no Acumatica equivalent—those must be rebuilt in Acumatica's State Workflow Engine after migration. Custom PayTraq fields (user-defined columns on clients or products) map to Acumatica Usr-prefixed custom fields via customization projects.
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 PayTraq object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
PayTraq
Client
Acumatica
Customer
1:1PayTraq Client maps to Acumatica Customer DAC (AR303000). We map Name to Customer.acctName, email to Contact.email, phone to Contact.phone. BillingAddress details from PayTraq address fields migrate to the Customer BillingDetails DAC. Primary currency from PayTraq becomes Customer CuryID. Each client requires a CustomerClass lookup — we match by industry keyword or default to a generic class configured during schema setup.
PayTraq
Supplier
Acumatica
Vendor
1:1PayTraq Supplier maps to Acumatica Vendor DAC (AP303000). Name, email, phone, and address fields map directly to Vendor.acctName, Contact.email, Contact.phone, and VendorRemitAddress. PayTraq payment terms are matched to Acumatica Terms DAC (or created as custom terms if no match exists). VendorClass is assigned based on PayTraq supplier category or defaulted during migration.
PayTraq
Product
Acumatica
InventoryItem
1:1PayTraq Product maps to Acumatica InventoryItem DAC (IN202500). Stock items in PayTraq become InventoryItem with ItemType=Stock Item; non-stock items become ItemType=Non-Stock Item; services become ItemType=Service. PayTraq's cost price becomes InventoryItem BaseCost; sales price maps to SalesPrice table. Valuation method (Average in PayTraq) must be explicitly set on each InventoryItem Valuation Method field — we surface this as a pre-migration validation item because mismatches cause COGS errors on AR/AP release.
PayTraq
Warehouse
Acumatica
Warehouse + StockItemWarehouses
1:1PayTraq warehouses map to Acumatica Warehouse DAC (WH204000). Stock levels per warehouse migrate as InventoryItemWarehouse records (IN408000) linked by InventoryID and SiteID. If PayTraq uses multiple warehouses, each becomes a separate SiteID in Acumatica. Location-level tracking (bins) in PayTraq requires Acumatica Location Management to be enabled first — we validate this before migration.
PayTraq
Invoice
Acumatica
ARInvoice
1:1PayTraq Sales Invoice maps to Acumatica ARInvoice DAC (AR301000). Invoice number becomes RefNbr; customer maps by CustomerID lookup; invoice date becomes DocDate; total amount becomes CuryOrigDocAmt. Lines map to ARTran DAC (one ARTran per invoice line) with InventoryID, TranDesc, Qty, and UnitPrice. PayTraq paid invoices are loaded as Open=false (already closed); unpaid invoices are loaded as Open=true with correct due dates.
PayTraq
Bill
Acumatica
APInvoice
1:1PayTraq Bill maps to Acumatica APInvoice DAC (AP301000). Vendor maps by VendorID lookup; invoice number becomes RefNbr; invoice date becomes DocDate; total becomes CuryOrigDocAmt. Lines map to APTran DAC. Prepaids and credit memos from PayTraq migrate as separate AP document types (Prepayment, Credit Adj) in Acumatica — document type is determined by the PayTraq document's positive or negative amount sign.
PayTraq
Quote
Acumatica
SalesOrder (Draft / Pending status)
1:1PayTraq Quotes map to Acumatica SalesOrder DAC (SO301000) in Open status. OrderType is set to a configurable quote order type with Hold=true so the quote does not trigger inventory reservation. When a PayTraq quote converts to an order in Acumatica, the sales rep manually releases it. We preserve the original quote date and expiry date in custom fields.
PayTraq
Purchase Order
Acumatica
PurchaseOrder
1:1PayTraq Purchase Order maps to Acumatica PurchaseOrder DAC (PO301000). VendorID, OrderNbr, and order date map directly. PO lines map to POLine with InventoryID, OrderQty, and Acumatica land cost. If PayTraq PO is marked as received, Acumatica receives against the PO — partially received POs are loaded as Open with remaining quantity preserved in POLine.ClosedForInvoicing flag is set per line.
PayTraq
Journal Entry
Acumatica
GLBatch + GLTran
1:1PayTraq Journal Entries map to Acumatica GLBatch DAC (GL104000) with one GLTran per journal line. Batch number becomes BatchNbr; batch date becomes Date; PayTraq debit/credit amounts map to DebitAmt and CreditAmt on GLTran. Account references from PayTraq match by GLAccountCD — if no match exists, the account is flagged in the pre-migration validation report. Net-zero batch balancing is required by Acumatica.
PayTraq
Employee
Acumatica
Employee
1:1PayTraq Employee records map to Acumatica Employee DAC (EP203000). Name, email, phone, department, and employment status migrate. If PayTraq stores salary or hourly rate, this migrates to EarningsITem DAC as a pay item — payroll module must be enabled in Acumatica for this to activate. Active/inactive status maps to Employee.Status (Active, OnLeave, Terminated).
PayTraq
Custom Field (Client / Product / Supplier)
Acumatica
Usr-prefixed custom field on target DAC
1:1PayTraq user-defined columns on any entity are exported as additional fields in the API response. In Acumatica, these require a customization project (Customization Projects editor) with a Usr-prefixed field added to the relevant DAC (e.g., UsrPayTraqID on Customer, UsrCustomCategory on InventoryItem). The customization project must be published to the Acumatica tenant before the migration run. We include custom field setup in the schema preparation step.
PayTraq
PayTraq Workflow / Automation
Acumatica
No equivalent
1:1PayTraq automation rules (document routing, auto-posting, email triggers) have no direct equivalent in Acumatica. They must be rebuilt in Acumatica's State Workflow Engine (screen-level workflows via screen-state definitions in the customization project) or via Assignment and Approval Maps accessible in the UI at each document screen. We export PayTraq automation definitions as a reference document for your Acumatica consultant to rebuild.

Decimal formatting and date format strictness on API writes
Acumatica gotchas
API user licenses cap concurrent sessions and request throughput
Multi-tenant filtering requires CompanyID awareness
Custom fields require separate discovery before field mapping
Notes and attachments use a separate linked table structure
Implementation timelines frequently run 3–9 months end-to-end
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit PayTraq data and design Acumatica schema
FlitStack AI connects to PayTraq via API using your license key and exports all entity types: clients, suppliers, products, warehouses, invoices, bills, purchase orders, quotes, journal entries, and employees. We profile record counts per entity, identify custom fields (user-defined columns exported as additional API fields), and flag multi-currency documents and multi-warehouse stock records. In parallel, we assess your Acumatica tenant: chart of accounts structure, branch/entity configuration, CustomerClass and VendorClass setup, InventoryItem types, and tax agency settings. We produce a Schema Readiness Report listing which Acumatica setup screens need configuration before data can land.
Build field-level mapping document and Acumatica customization project
We produce a detailed mapping spreadsheet: every PayTraq field on every entity mapped to its Acumatica DAC field, including transformation notes (currency code to CuryID, value maps for payment terms, product type to ItemType). For PayTraq custom fields, we add Usr-prefixed fields to the appropriate DACs in a customization project file, which we deliver for your Acumatica admin to publish before migration runs. We also generate a CMRate import file for all unique currency/date combinations found in PayTraq multi-currency documents. The mapping document is reviewed and approved by your Acumatica consultant before any data moves.
Activate Acumatica migration mode and run sample test migration
We activate Data Migration Mode on AR101000, AP101000, and IN101000 in your Acumatica test tenant. A representative slice of data (typically 100–300 records per entity type) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing PayTraq source values against the loaded Acumatica records — covering document totals, line quantities, GL account assignments, and custom field values. You validate the diff, confirm document types and tax settings, and approve the full migration plan. Any GL account mismatches or missing exchange rates are resolved before the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads master data (customers, vendors, products, warehouses) first, followed by open transactional documents (AR/AP invoices, purchase orders, sales orders) and then historical journal entries. Acumatica migration mode suppresses live GL postings and validation until you are ready to cut over. After the initial load, a delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new invoices, bills, or inventory transactions created in PayTraq during the cutover period. We deactivate migration mode per subledger in sequence on go-live day, and run a final reconciliation report comparing PayTraq closing balances to Acumatica open document totals. Audit log and one-click rollback are available if reconciliation finds material discrepancies.
