Migrate your Priority ERP data
Cloud-native ERP for mid-market companies with deep low-code customization and a modular architecture. Organizations either love its flexibility or struggle to escape its tangled customizations when switching platforms.
In its favor
Why people choose Priority ERP
The signal that keeps Priority ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Highly customizable without external development — customers on G2 and Software Advice repeatedly cite being able to tailor workflows, forms, and processes to match their exact business logic without heavy reliance on outside developers.
Comprehensive ERP coverage across financials, supply chain, CRM, and manufacturing in a single platform, reducing the need for multiple disconnected systems and simplifying vendor management.
AI-powered capabilities and built-in BI reporting embedded directly in the ERP, providing real-time insights and workflow automation without requiring separate tools.
Mobility features with a mobile app generator allowing field and remote employees to interact with Priority processes directly from mobile devices without additional coding or third-party apps.
Cloud deployment on AWS with Kubernetes-based scaling, offering enterprise-grade infrastructure suitable for mid-market companies without requiring in-house IT overhead.
Steep learning curve and unintuitive interface — negative reviews cite the system feeling archaic and confusing, especially for users migrating from simpler tools like QuickBooks who expected a more modern SaaS experience.
Implementation complexity and cost overruns — many customers report ERP migration taking far longer than projected, with extensive customization requirements leading to expensive, prolonged rollouts.
Limited modern UX compared to newer SaaS platforms — the visual design and interaction patterns feel dated, causing user frustration and slower adoption rates across organizations.
High total cost of ownership relative to perceived value — customers feel the licensing, implementation, and ongoing consulting costs do not align with the level of modern features delivered.
Difficulty achieving cross-departmental visibility — despite being an integrated ERP, some users report that pulling unified reports across modules still requires significant manual effort or consultant involvement.

What gets migrated
Priority ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Priority ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Mapping requiredPriority stores Customers as header records with associated price lists, credit limits, and multi-address hierarchies. We map these into the destination's account/contact model, flattening address books and preserving credit terms as custom fields where the target schema does not support them natively.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendors share a similar structure to Customers in Priority, with pay-to and ship-from address hierarchies and purchasing-specific fields. We extract the full vendor record including purchasing terms and map them into the destination's vendor/supplier object, renaming fields to match the target's conventions.
Items / Catalog
Mapping requiredItems in Priority carry rich attributes including part numbers, BOM links, stocking dimensions, and warehouse-specific quantities. We extract item headers and their variant attributes, handling multi-warehouse quantity records as child rows. BOM structures are mapped as parent-child relationships in the destination.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredSales Orders include header fields (customer reference, terms, freight) and multi-line details with pricing, discounts, and tax allocation. We extract the full order structure and map line-level data to the destination's order or opportunity product model, preserving order status and dates.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase Orders follow a mirror structure to Sales Orders but belong to the Vendors dimension. We extract PO headers and lines, mapping them to the destination's purchase order or bill model, with attention to received-versus-invoiced quantities for partial fulfillment.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredPriority supports multi-segment account codes and complex hierarchies for cost centers and departments. We extract the full account tree and validate segment structure against the destination's account model, flagging any multi-segment accounts that require decomposition or custom field augmentation in the target.
Open AP/AR
Mapping requiredOutstanding invoices and credit memos are tracked as open documents linked to Customers, Vendors, and GL accounts. We extract open document totals, due dates, and aging buckets, then map them as open receivables or payables in the destination, preserving balance-carry-forward semantics.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects in Priority track budgets, assignments, billing records, and milestones. We extract project headers and associated WBS rows, time entries, and billing details, mapping them to the destination's project or engagement model and preserving custom fields.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployee records include compensation history, org unit assignments, and role-based permissions. We extract the employee file noting that salary and benefits data require explicit customer sign-off due to sensitivity, and we map org structure to the destination's department/employee model.
GL Journal Entries
Mapping requiredJournal Entries consist of debit and credit lines linked to account codes, with support for reversing entries and recurring templates. We extract full entry details including posting date, period, and source reference, mapping to the destination's journal entry model with attention to reversal flags.
Custom Forms / Workflows
Not in this platformPriority's form generator and workflow builder create business logic embedded in the UI layer that does not export via API. We document the existence of custom forms and workflows during scoping but do not migrate them — customers must rebuild equivalent logic in the target platform post-migration.
Documents / Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to Customers, Orders, and Projects are stored as file references in Priority. We export attachments to a file store and create link records in the destination, preserving the association to the parent object. Binary document content is transferred as-is without format transformation.
