Overview
Relic ERP typically runs on legacy on-premises architecture with module-specific data stores that lack modern API access. Acumatica is a cloud-native ERP built on a unified database with REST and SOAP web services endpoints, consumption-based licensing (unlimited users at each tier), and an extensible DAC framework for custom fields and screens. FlitStack AI connects to Relic ERP via direct database export or legacy file-based extraction, transforms the data against Acumatica's schema, and loads via Acumatica's Import by Scenario framework or direct API insert. We preserve customer/vendor names, addresses, tax IDs, GL account assignments, and inventory part numbers with their cost layers. Workflow automation, approval matrices, and custom business logic built inside Relic ERP do not migrate — we export those definitions as rebuild documentation for your Acumatica implementation team. The migration runs against Acumatica's API rate limits with automatic retry and a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window so in-flight transactions during cutover are captured before the Relic ERP instance is decommissioned.
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 Relic ERP 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.
Relic ERP
Customer / AR Account
Acumatica
Customer
1:1Relic ERP customer records map directly to Acumatica Customer records. The primary fields — customer ID, name, payment terms, and credit limit — translate 1:1. Acumatica requires a Customer Class to be assigned; we map Relic ERP's customer type code to the closest Acumatica class or create a default if the source value has no match.
Relic ERP
Vendor / AP Account
Acumatica
Vendor
1:1Relic ERP vendor records map to Acumatica Vendor records. Tax ID, payment terms, and Remit-to address translate directly. Relic ERP's vendor-type classification maps to Acumatica's Vendor Class selector. We preserve the original vendor ID in the Source_Ref field for reconciliation.
Relic ERP
Inventory Part
Acumatica
Stock Item / Non-Stock Item
1:1Relic ERP parts that are inventoried translate to Acumatica Stock Items with the default warehouse assigned. Parts flagged as non-inventoried in Relic ERP become Non-Stock Items in Acumatica. Unit of measure conversions from Relic ERP's UOM to Acumatica's UOM class require a UOM mapping table built during the assessment phase.
Relic ERP
Bill of Materials
Acumatica
Bill of Materials
1:1Relic ERP BOM records translate to Acumatica BOM records with the same bill structure, component lines, and scrap factors. Phantom bills map to Acumatica's Phantom BOM type, and multi-level BOM hierarchies preserve their parent-child relationships. BOM revisions with effective dates map to Acumatica's revision-control date range fields, allowing for version-specific bill configurations. Materials and labor steps are mapped to Acumatica's BOM line types, and step-specific run rates translate where applicable.
Relic ERP
Sales Order
Acumatica
Sales Order
1:1Open sales orders from Relic ERP migrate to Acumatica Sales Orders with original order numbers preserved in the Source_Ref field. Line items, quantities, and unit prices map directly. Completed or cancelled orders are migrated as historical records in the same object with a Closed status flag.
Relic ERP
Purchase Order
Acumatica
Purchase Order
1:1Relic ERP open POs translate to Acumatica Purchase Orders with vendor details, line items, quantities, and unit costs preserved. Receipt-status flags from Relic ERP map to Acumatica's line-receipt percentages. Partially-received lines carry the received quantity forward so Acumatica's receipt entry workflow resumes at the correct state. PO hold and approval status translates to Acumatica's Workflow Status field, and terms and shipping instructions map to corresponding Acumatica purchase order fields.
Relic ERP
GL Account
Acumatica
Account
1:1Relic ERP GL accounts map to Acumatica Chart of Accounts records. Account numbers, descriptions, and active/inactive flags translate directly. Subaccount structure from Relic ERP requires flattening — we concatenate segment values into Acumatica's Subaccount mask or map to the dimension structure your Acumatica instance uses.
Relic ERP
GL Journal Entry
Acumatica
Journal Transaction
1:1Relic ERP journal entries migrate to Acumatica General Ledger batches with original entry dates and descriptions preserved. Each debit and credit line maps to the corresponding Account and Subaccount in Acumatica. We preserve the source system reference on each batch header for audit trails.
Relic ERP
Inventory Transaction History
Acumatica
Inventory Issue / Receipt
1:1Relic ERP inventory adjustment and transfer history translates to Acumatica's INRelease and INReceipt records. Each transaction is re-created as a separate inventory adjustment or receipt entry with the original transaction date and reference number. Quantity and cost fields translate per the item's UOM mapping.
Relic ERP
Custom Module / Extended Fields
Acumatica
Custom Field (UDF) on corresponding DAC
1:1Relic ERP custom fields and extended columns stored in module-specific tables map to Acumatica User-Defined Fields on the corresponding DAC. We analyze each Relic ERP custom field's data type and create the equivalent UDF in Acumatica — text, integer, decimal, date, or boolean — before the data load runs.
Relic ERP
User / Employee
Acumatica
Employee
1:1Relic ERP user and employee records map to Acumatica Employees. Login ID, name, email, and active-status flags translate directly. We resolve Relic ERP user IDs to Acumatica Employee IDs by email match before migrating transactional records so ownership is correct.
Relic ERP
Approval / Workflow Rules
Acumatica
Acumatica Automation Steps / Approval Maps
1:1Relic ERP approval chains, conditional workflow rules, and alert triggers have no direct Acumatica equivalent. We export a structured document of every Relic ERP workflow rule — conditions, approver assignments, and escalation paths — as a reference for your Acumatica admin to rebuild in the workflow designer.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Relic ERP data extraction via direct database or file export
FlitStack's engineering team connects to Relic ERP's source database with read-only credentials or triggers a file-based export for each module being migrated. We run a schema-analysis query against the Relic ERP database to map extended columns, custom tables, and subaccount structures before extraction. All extracted data is written to a staging environment in CSV or JSON format, then validated for row counts and referential integrity before transformation begins.
Acumatica environment readiness and UDF creation
Before data loads, FlitStack delivers a UDF creation plan listing every custom field that must exist in Acumatica before the import runs. Your Acumatica admin (or our team using a sandbox connection) creates these UDFs on the appropriate DACs via the Customization Project editor. We also confirm that the subaccount mask matches the segment count from Relic ERP's GL chart, and that the chart of accounts is loaded with GL accounts in the correct segment order.
Data transformation and staging with field-level mapping validation
FlitStack transforms Relic ERP records into Acumatica import-ready format using the field mapping tables built during assessment. Value-mapping tables handle pick-list fields (customer class, item type, order status) and subaccount segment decomposition. A representative sample — typically 100–500 records per object — is loaded into a test environment and compared against the source data to verify field-level accuracy before the full migration run commits.
Full migration load into Acumatica with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads records into the production Acumatica environment using Import by Scenario for mass-record loads and direct API insert for complex objects. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs in parallel after the initial load completes, capturing any Relic ERP records modified during the cutover window. All operations are logged to FlitStack's audit trail, and one-click rollback reverts the Acumatica environment to its pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies data discrepancies.
