Overview

What this migration involves

PeppyBooks combines accounting and CRM in a single tiered platform for small businesses, while Infor CloudSuite Industrial targets manufacturing, distribution, and retail organizations at a different scale. The migration is not a lift-and-shift because PeppyBooks has no published public API with documented authentication or rate limits, which means we rely on CSV exports and direct database reads for data extraction. Infor CloudSuite Industrial ships a Migration Utility that expects a SQL Server source database and sequential table imports tied to account codes and inventory master data. We always export the Chart of Accounts first, validate the source database type, map account codes manually to Infor equivalents, migrate open invoices and outstanding vendor bills with their original exchange-rate context for multi-currency records, and surface any PeppyBooks CRM Leads, Deals, and Activities that require a written rebuild plan because Infor CloudSuite Industrial has no native CRM module. PeppyBooks Professional plan Projects and tier-gated Inventory records are flagged at scoping against the customer's committed tier.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

PeppyBooks logo

PeppyBooks

What's pushing teams away

  • Customers outgrow the platform when they need multi-entity consolidation, advanced job costing, or ERP features like fixed-asset depreciation that PeppyBooks does not offer at any tier.
  • Lack of transparent public API documentation makes integrations with custom tools, e-commerce platforms, or payment processors difficult to maintain without developer assistance.
  • Pricing increases and tier-gated features force customers to upgrade as their business grows, and some report that essential features remain locked behind higher tiers even for legitimate operational needs.
  • Users with non-US tax requirements — particularly businesses with complex VAT reverse-charge scenarios or multi-state sales tax nexus — find PeppyBooks' tax compliance tools insufficient compared to purpose-built tax automation platforms.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How PeppyBooks objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a PeppyBooks 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.

PeppyBooks

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Chart of Accounts (COA)

lossy
Fully supported

PeppyBooks maintains a hierarchical COA with account codes, types, and tax-mapping attributes. Infor CloudSuite Industrial also uses a hierarchical COA with account codes and types. PeppyBooks allows fully custom account code lengths and naming conventions, so we export the complete COA as a structured list before any transaction migration, manually map each source account code to a destination account code, and preserve the original PeppyBooks account name as a label or description in Infor. If the destination Infor deployment has a default COA template, we merge source accounts into existing Infor accounts where a clear match exists and create new Infor accounts where no match is possible.

PeppyBooks

Clients

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

PeppyBooks Clients contain contact details, billing address, payment terms, and opening balance. We map them 1:1 to Infor Customer records. The PeppyBooks opening balance is migrated as an opening-receivables journal entry in Infor rather than as a field on the Customer record itself, because Infor handles opening balances through the accounting module. Multi-currency clients carry their original exchange-rate context to Infor's currency fields on the Customer record.

PeppyBooks

Vendors

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

PeppyBooks Vendors mirror the Client structure with address, payment terms, and opening balance. We map them 1:1 to Infor Supplier records, carrying forward outstanding AP balances as opening-payables journal entries in Infor. PeppyBooks Malaysia SST vendor tax registrations are mapped to the corresponding Infor tax authority codes during import, with an SST reconciliation report run post-import to catch mismatches.

PeppyBooks

Invoices

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Invoice / Accounts Receivable

1:1
Fully supported

PeppyBooks Invoices link Clients, line items, tax codes, and COA revenue accounts. We export all invoice fields including status (draft, sent, paid), due dates, and payment records. Open invoices migrate as open AR records in Infor with the original PeppyBooks invoice number preserved as a reference field. Paid invoices migrate as historical records with the payment date and amount. PeppyBooks tax codes map to Infor tax codes, and the mapping is validated before import to prevent tax-amount discrepancies propagating into the financial records.

PeppyBooks

Expenses

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Expense Records / Accounts Payable

1:1
Fully supported

PeppyBooks Expense records capture date, vendor, amount, COA debit account, and tax treatment. We migrate each expense as an individual line item, mapping PeppyBooks tax codes to Infor's equivalent tax setup. Outstanding vendor bills (unpaid expenses) migrate as open AP records in Infor, preserving the PeppyBooks expense number as a reference.

PeppyBooks

Manual Journals

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Journal Entry

1:1
Mapping required

PeppyBooks Manual Journal entries support multi-line debits and credits with optional references to invoices or expenses. We export the full journal entry including all line items. Journal-entry naming conventions in PeppyBooks are customer-defined, so we preserve the original PeppyBooks journal name as a memo field in Infor and map each line's COA account code using the COA mapping established in the first migration step.

PeppyBooks

Products

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item Master

1:1
Fully supported

PeppyBooks Product records include name, SKU, unit price, cost, tax category, and stock-on-hand (Premium and above). We migrate products 1:1 to Infor Item Master records, mapping the PeppyBooks SKU to the Infor Item Number and preserving the current stock-on-hand quantity. Products without inventory tracking (Growth tier) migrate with zero stock and are flagged for the customer to populate manually if they activate inventory management in Infor.

PeppyBooks

Multi-Store / Warehouses

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Warehouse / Branch

lossy
Mapping required

Warehouse assignments in PeppyBooks are only available on Premium and above. Where a customer uses multiple stores, we map each PeppyBooks warehouse to a corresponding Infor warehouse or branch location. Infor CloudSuite Industrial uses a plant and warehouse location model; we match PeppyBooks warehouse codes to Infor site codes and flag any PeppyBooks warehouses that have no corresponding Infor site for manual configuration before inventory import.

PeppyBooks

Purchase Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Mapping required

Purchase Orders in PeppyBooks are available on Premium tier and above. We export PO headers and line items with supplier, date, and fulfillment status. Open and partially received POs migrate as open Purchase Orders in Infor. PeppyBooks PO line status (pending, received, closed) maps to Infor PO line receipt status, but PeppyBooks partial-receipt quantities are reconciled against PeppyBooks inventory records to catch discrepancies before import.

PeppyBooks

Sales Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Mapping required

Sales Orders in PeppyBooks support conversion to invoices. We export order headers, line items, and fulfillment status. Open Sales Orders migrate to Infor as open Sales Orders, preserving the customer reference and line-item mapping to the Infor Item Master. Infor Sales Order conversion to Invoice follows Infor's own workflow, which is different from PeppyBooks' one-click conversion, so we document the equivalent steps for the customer's admin.

PeppyBooks

Leads

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Not applicable (no native CRM)

1:1
Mapping required

PeppyBooks CRM Leads contain source, status, owner, and custom fields. Infor CloudSuite Industrial has no native CRM module; CRM is a separate add-on evaluated independently. We export the full PeppyBooks Lead list including all fields and custom properties, and deliver it as a structured CSV with a written recommendation for Infor CRM add-on or a third-party CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) as the rebuild destination. This is not a live CRM migration; it is a data inventory for manual rebuild.

PeppyBooks

Deals / Pipeline Stages

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Not applicable (no native CRM)

1:1
Mapping required

PeppyBooks Deals carry value, stage, expected close date, and associated contact or company. Infor CloudSuite Industrial does not include a pipeline management module, so Deals have no direct Infor equivalent. We export the active pipeline stage names and values from PeppyBooks and document the full deal list with stage assignments and deal values in a CSV for the customer to use when rebuilding pipeline tracking in the selected CRM platform.

Pair-specific challenges

  • PeppyBooks has no documented public API for programmatic extraction

    PeppyBooks does not publish a public API reference with authentication method, endpoint list, or rate-limit specifications. This means we cannot authenticate programmatically to pull data during migration scoping. We handle this by requesting CSV exports from PeppyBooks support and, where CSV exports do not cover required fields (particularly custom properties or historical activity records), requesting direct database read access. Scoping timelines extend by one to three weeks because PeppyBooks' export process is manual and often requires escalation to support. Any fields not available in exports must be manually re-created in Infor by the customer's team.

  • Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility requires SQL Server as the source database

    Infor CloudSuite Industrial's Migration Utility expects a SQL Server source database and sequential table imports tied to account codes and inventory master data. PeppyBooks stores data internally and we must validate the actual database format during discovery. If the source data is not in SQL Server, we build custom export and transformation scripts to produce Infor-compatible CSV files, which adds extraction time and increases the risk of schema-mismatch errors that we catch during the preliminary data transfer step.

  • PeppyBooks CRM entities have no native home in Infor CloudSuite Industrial

    PeppyBooks bundles a CRM module with Leads, Deals, Pipeline Stages, and Activities that is not available in Infor CloudSuite Industrial as a standard component. CRM in Infor is a separate add-on with its own evaluation, contract, and implementation timeline. We do not attempt to force PeppyBooks CRM records into Infor manufacturing or distribution tables, because doing so would corrupt operational data. Instead, we export the full CRM record set from PeppyBooks and deliver a written inventory with field mapping for the customer to use when setting up a CRM add-on or a separate CRM platform.

  • Multi-currency exchange rates must be preserved at transaction level

    PeppyBooks multi-currency records carry their original exchange rate as recorded at transaction time. In Infor CloudSuite Industrial, multi-currency amounts are managed through currency code and rate tables that can be updated per period. We preserve the original PeppyBooks exchange rate as a custom field on Infor transactions during import and flag any multi-currency records that require the Infor rate table to be populated with historical rates before the records can be posted correctly. Missing rate table entries block transaction posting in Infor.

  • Tier-gated features create invisible data gaps in the migration scope

    Inventory tracking (Products, SKUs, Warehouses) is only available on PeppyBooks Premium and above. Projects and time tracking are a separate Professional plan. Multi-branch accounting and manufacturing are Ultimate only. When scoping the migration, we confirm the customer's committed PeppyBooks tier and exclude any records tied to features the customer does not currently have active. If the customer plans to upgrade before migration, we scope against the post-upgrade tier. This prevents pricing disputes mid-migration and ensures the Infor migration target reflects what the customer actually has in PeppyBooks.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful PeppyBooks to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and data extraction

    We audit the PeppyBooks account across tier (Growth, Premium, Ultimate, or Professional), active modules (accounting, inventory, CRM, projects), record counts for each entity type, and any custom fields or properties. Because PeppyBooks has no public API, we submit export requests to PeppyBooks support for CSV downloads of Chart of Accounts, Clients, Vendors, Invoices, Expenses, Journal Entries, Products, Warehouses, Sales Orders, and Purchase Orders. We validate the exported database format (SQL Server or other) to determine whether the Infor Migration Utility can accept the data directly or whether custom transformation scripts are needed. We also request direct database read access if CSV exports do not cover required fields.

  2. Schema validation and account mapping design

    We validate the exported PeppyBooks database schema against the Infor CloudSuite Industrial target schema using Infor's DataMap Schema-Properties spreadsheet from the Infor Support Portal. We identify all PeppyBooks tables that map to Infor tables, flag any tables with no Infor counterpart, and design a COA mapping spreadsheet that assigns each PeppyBooks account code to an Infor account code. The COA mapping is the first and most critical artifact because all financial transactions in subsequent steps depend on valid account code references.

  3. Migration database setup and import parameter configuration

    We set up an Infor CloudSuite Industrial migration database per Infor's documented process, ensuring it is initialized and has the Migration Utility pack installed. We configure the import parameters to connect to the validated source database (SQL Server connection or CSV file path), specify the Infor target tables, and review the preconfigured import steps in the Import Steps form. Any PeppyBooks tables not covered by predefined mappings are added as custom source-target mappings. PeppyBooks CRM records are excluded from the automated migration and added to the written inventory list instead.

  4. Chart of Accounts and master data migration

    We run the COA import first, creating each Infor account from the validated PeppyBooks account list. We then migrate Customer and Supplier master records, followed by Product and Warehouse master data. For PeppyBooks Premium customers with inventory, stock-on-hand quantities are imported against the mapped Item Master records and validated against PeppyBooks inventory reports. PeppyBooks Growth customers with no inventory module receive zero-stock item records flagged for manual population.

  5. Transaction migration in dependency order

    We run the transaction migration in strict sequence: open Invoices (AR) first, then Vendor Bills (AP), then Manual Journals, then open Sales Orders, then open Purchase Orders. Each phase produces a row-count reconciliation report comparing the PeppyBooks source record count to the Infor import count. Multi-currency transactions are loaded with the preserved original exchange rate and flagged for rate-table population in Infor. PeppyBooks SST tax postings are validated against the tax-code mapping spreadsheet before committing.

  6. Opening balance reconciliation and financial validation

    We reconcile the PeppyBooks trial balance against the migrated Infor trial balance, checking that total debits equal total credits and that account balances match PeppyBooks closing balances as of the migration effective date. We run Infor's standard financial reports (Aged Receivables, Aged Payables, Inventory Valuation, P&L by Account) and present discrepancies to the customer for resolution before go-live. Any open Invoices and Vendor Bills that were paid or settled after the PeppyBooks export date are flagged for a delta reload.

  7. CRM inventory handoff and cutover planning

    We deliver the written PeppyBooks CRM inventory (Leads, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Activities) as a structured CSV with field mapping to a recommended CRM destination, along with a rebuild guide for the customer's CRM administrator or implementation partner. We provide a cutover checklist covering Infor opening-balance sign-off, inventory count verification, user provisioning in Infor, and the PeppyBooks write-freeze window. We do not migrate PeppyBooks workflows, approval rules, or automations as code; these are documented in a separate automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor OS or a workflow tool.

Source

Strengths

  • US-aligned Chart of Accounts pre-built for IRS and sales-tax reporting requirements.
  • Bundled CRM and accounting eliminates separate system purchases and data re-entry for small businesses.
  • Tiered inventory management scales from simple product tracking to multi-warehouse SKU and batch management.
  • Multi-currency handling with configurable exchange rate management across transactions.
  • Cloud-based access with user-role permissions and read-only accountant sharing built in.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented public API with published authentication, rate limits, or endpoint schema, limiting programmatic integrations and migration tooling.
  • Manufacturing, lot tracking, and multi-branch accounting are locked behind the highest Ultimate tier, pricing out smaller businesses with those needs.
  • Project management features are a separate Professional tier add-on not included in the core accounting or CRM plans.
  • Tax compliance tools are US and Malaysia SST/GST focused; multi-state US sales tax automation and EU VAT are not documented as built-in features.
  • No published data export or backup mechanism in the marketing materials, which raises data-portability concerns for customers considering migration.

Most PeppyBooks to Infor CloudSuite migrations land between four and eight weeks for accounts with accounting data (Clients, Vendors, Invoices, Expenses) and a small product catalog under 2,000 SKUs. Adding open Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and multi-currency records extends to eight to twelve weeks. Full-scope migrations that include PeppyBooks CRM records (Leads, Deals, Activities) and PeppyBooks Professional plan Projects move to ten to fourteen weeks because of the written CRM inventory documentation, multi-currency rate-table population, and project-structure handoff work. The PeppyBooks export timeline (one to three weeks depending on support responsiveness) adds to the front of the schedule.
