Overview
Moving from Pronto Xi to Infor CloudSuite is a full ERP data migration with specific extraction complexity because Pronto Xi stores all operational data in IBM Informix rather than exposing it through a public REST API. We engage specialist extraction tooling to pull structured records directly from Informix tables, preserving GL account hierarchies, multi-location inventory balances, BOM relationships, and open transaction aging. Long-running Pronto Xi implementations frequently accumulate bespoke custom modules and modified core tables over 10-20 years that require a detailed customisation audit before mapping to Infor equivalents. We sequence open AR/AP extraction before the final period close at source, then apply matching payments or credit allocations at the destination to maintain clean aging reports. Workflows, automations, custom reports built on Pronto Xi's RAD framework, and forms management do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor CloudSuite.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Pronto Xi 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.
Pronto Xi
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1Pronto Xi GL accounts use a hierarchical code system stored in IBM Informix with parent-child relationships and account attributes. We extract account codes, descriptions, account types, and parent references via direct Informix DB queries, preserving the full hierarchy for import into Infor CloudSuite's GL Account structure. Any accounts with non-standard segment structures require custom field mapping during extraction.
Pronto Xi
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer
1:1Pronto Xi customer records include address books, contact details, payment terms, credit limits, and tax codes stored as structured Informix records. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Customer with handling for multi-address scenarios, ship-to and bill-to splits, and the customer's tax jurisdiction assignment. Credit limit and payment term overrides at the customer level migrate as custom fields if the destination schema does not support them natively.
Pronto Xi
Supplier
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier
1:1Pronto Xi supplier records mirror the customer structure with address books, contact details, payment terms, and tax codes. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Supplier, preserving the same multi-address handling and payment term assignments. Supplier-specific fields like WHS vendor codes and Erichson compliance flags migrate as custom fields with documentation for the customer's admin to configure.
Pronto Xi
Inventory Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item
1:1Pronto Xi inventory items include item masters with BOMs, cost layers, reorder points, and multi-warehouse location assignments stored in Informix. We extract item headers, cost records per site, and current stock quantities per location, maintaining the inventory valuation method (FIFO, average, standard) during migration. Inactive items flagged in Pronto Xi for write-off or discontinuation are migrated with their status and held for admin review at destination.
Pronto Xi
Stock Location
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse
1:1Pronto Xi multi-location inventory assignments require extraction of warehouse codes, addresses, and bin location hierarchies per item. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Warehouse and Location structures, preserving any custom location naming conventions used in picking and receiving workflows. Multi-site configurations where the same item carries different stock quantities per warehouse migrate with full balance detail.
Pronto Xi
Bill of Materials
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Material
1:1Pronto Xi BOMs store component items, quantities per assembly, and revision versions tied to manufacturing processes in Informix. We extract BOM headers and component lines, mapping to Infor CloudSuite's BOM structure with revision control preserved. Any BOMs referencing discontinued items or components with no Infor equivalent are flagged for the customer's engineering team to resolve before production data moves.
Pronto Xi
Work Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Job
1:1Pronto Xi work orders carry routing steps, labor allocations, and component consumption records tied to specific BOM versions. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Job with work order status, routing operation sequences, and component allocations preserved. Jobs in progress at migration time are flagged with their completion percentage so that Infor job costing picks up from the correct point without double-counting material or labor.
Pronto Xi
Open AR Record
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice / Credit Memo
1:1Outstanding receivables require extraction with aging buckets, invoice numbers, due dates, and payment reference history. We sequence open AR extraction before the final period close at source, then apply matching payments or credit allocations at the destination in the correct chronological order. Any invoices with partial payments carry both the remaining balance and the payment history so that aging reports remain accurate post-migration.
Pronto Xi
Open AP Record
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Voucher / Credit Memo
1:1Outstanding payables migrate with the same sequencing discipline as AR: extraction before final period close, then allocation of matching payments or credit notes at the destination in chronological order. Vouchers with hold status or dispute flags are mapped to equivalent Infor statuses with a custom field carrying the original Pronto Xi hold reason for audit trail.
Pronto Xi
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Open sales orders include headers with pricing and discounting and line items with delivery scheduling. We extract order headers and lines with pricing, discounting, and fulfillment progress flags. Status at migration time determines whether orders land as Infor Sales Orders in open, confirmed, or picking status to avoid inadvertent re-processing of completed lines.
Pronto Xi
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Open purchase orders carry supplier references, line items with pricing, and delivery scheduling. We extract PO headers and lines, mapping supplier codes to the Infor Supplier records created earlier in the migration. Purchase orders with partial receipts carry receipt history so that Infor's receiving module resumes from the correct balance.
Pronto Xi
Custom Module / UDF
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Object / Extension Field
1:manyPronto Xi environments frequently contain bespoke modules built on the SDK or RAD framework alongside User Defined Fields on standard tables. We identify each custom element during scoping, map its data structure to either an Infor CloudSuite custom object or extension field, and flag any that have no equivalent in the destination schema for the customer's admin to decide between replacement or retirement.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Informix topology audit
We audit the Pronto Xi environment across Informix database topology, active modules, custom modules, open transaction volume, inventory site count, GL account hierarchy depth, and BOM revision count. We identify all bespoke customisations built on the SDK or RAD framework, assess the stability of network connectivity for the final extraction window, and confirm whether the source is on-premise, cloud-hosted, or hybrid. The discovery output is a written migration scope and an Informix extraction plan specifying tables, views, and extraction account permissions.
Schema design and Infor CloudSuite target configuration
We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite. This includes configuring GL account structures to accommodate Pronto Xi's hierarchical codes, provisioning Customer and Supplier records with address book structures, setting up Warehouse and Location hierarchies to match the source's multi-site inventory, and creating custom objects or extension fields for any bespoke modules that lack Infor equivalents. Schema design is validated in a non-production Infor environment before any data moves.
Informix extraction and SQL Server staging
We run Informix extraction using specialist read-only tooling against the scoped tables identified in discovery. The extracted data is transformed into a SQL Server staging schema compatible with Infor CloudSuite's migration database requirements. We perform data quality checks on the staging data — duplicate detection, referential integrity validation, and mapping completeness — before loading into Infor. Any records failing validation are written to an exception report for the customer's admin to review.
Period close sequencing and open transaction extraction
We coordinate with the customer's finance team to sequence the final period close in Pronto Xi before extracting open AR and AP records. Open receivables and payables are extracted with full aging detail, payment history, and credit memo references. We apply matching payments and credit allocations at the destination in the correct chronological order to maintain clean aging reports post-migration. Any transactions created between extraction and cutover require a delta migration run.
Infor migration database load and validation
We load the transformed staging data into the Infor CloudSuite migration database using Infor's documented migration utility patterns. Each table sequence is loaded in dependency order — master data before transaction data, parent records before child records. We generate a data assessment report and review it with the customer's Infor admin, correcting any mapping errors or data quality issues before copying the migration database tables to the production database. This step runs in a non-production Infor environment first for validation.
Cutover, delta sync, and document template handoff
We freeze Pronto Xi writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial extraction, then switch the system of record to Infor CloudSuite. We deliver the customisation audit inventory and TrueForm Neo template documentation to the customer's admin team for rebuild. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's operations and finance teams. We do not rebuild workflows, automations, or forms as part of the standard migration scope.
