Migrate your Rootstock Cloud ERP data
Cloud ERP built on Salesforce for mid-market discrete manufacturers and distributors who want a unified CRM+ERP platform without building custom integrations.
In its favor
Why people choose Rootstock Cloud ERP
The signal that keeps Rootstock Cloud ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Salesforce native architecture eliminates integration overhead—manufacturers already on Salesforce CRM get a unified customer record without middleware or API glue.
Flexible customization through clicks-not-code means business logic changes can be made by functional users without developer involvement.
Robust MRP capabilities support make-to-stock, make-to-order, configure-to-order, and engineer-to-order modes, reducing the need for multiple point solutions.
Comprehensive BOM management with engineering change control accommodates complex assemblies and subcontract operations typical of discrete manufacturing.
Strong purchase order management with approval workflows, supplier relationship tools, and real-time procurement visibility appeals to organizations with complex supply chains.
Implementation complexity and resource requirements are significant—the platform's flexibility is a double-edged sword that demands extensive planning and coordination.
Financial reporting capabilities are a known gap; customers report limited financial reporting compared to purpose-built finance ERPs.
Performance issues and sporadic lags have been noted by users, particularly under heavy transaction volumes or complex BOM structures.
The user interface is described as dated and needing improvement compared to more modern ERP alternatives.
Customization depth creates long-term maintenance burden—each customization requires ongoing coordination with internal or external Salesforce resources.

What gets migrated
Rootstock Cloud ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Rootstock Cloud ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Items (Products)
Fully supportedItem master records are the foundation of Rootstock inventory, BOMs, and procurement. We migrate Items with all standard attributes including stocking policies, costing methods (standard/average), lot/serial control settings, and unit of measure conversions. Custom fields on the Item object carry over via Salesforce field mapping.
Sales Orders
Fully supportedSales orders include header fields (customer, ship-to, terms) and line items tied to the Item master. We migrate open and historical sales orders, preserving fulfillment status so partial shipments are not duplicated. We map Salesforce Account/Contact links to the order header.
Purchase Orders
Fully supportedPurchase orders manage direct and indirect materials procurement. We preserve PO headers, line items, receipt linkages, and approval status. Vendor records must exist or be migrated first to maintain referential integrity on the Vendor field.
Work Orders
Fully supportedWork orders represent manufacturing operations tied to a Sales Order or standalone job. We migrate work order headers with routing steps, labor estimates, and material allocations. BOM references on work orders are preserved through BOM ID mapping.
Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Fully supportedBOMs define multi-level component structures with quantities and operations. We handle single and multi-level BOM hierarchies, preserving engineering change control (ECO) status and effective dates. Phantom BOMs and BOM versioning are supported through direct field mapping.
Inventory Locations
Fully supportedLocations represent warehouses, plants, and stock points. We migrate location masters with address data, location types, and ABC analysis codes. Current on-hand quantities are migrated as separate inventory balance records linked to Item and Location.
Purchase Receipts
Mapping requiredPurchase receipts link to POs and update inventory. We migrate receipt records with their PO links and quantity information, but receipt dates and partial receipt flags must be reconciled against destination system expectations for receipt-date vs invoice-date accounting.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedRootstock maintains a full chart of accounts structure on Salesforce. We migrate GL accounts with their segment definitions, account types, and intercompany settings. Multi-company and multi-country chart structures are supported but require careful mapping to destination account numbering conventions.
Customers (Accounts)
Fully supportedRootstock shares the Salesforce Account object for customer records. We migrate Accounts with standard fields plus any custom customer-specific fields. Credit limits, payment terms, and tax codes on the Account are preserved as Salesforce fields.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor records are stored as Account objects with a Vendor checkbox in Rootstock. We migrate Vendor Accounts with associated purchase terms, W-9/1099 settings, and EDI identifiers. Multiple vendor sites per vendor are supported via the Account location model.
Lot and Serial Numbers
Fully supportedLot/serial traceability links Items to source documents and inventory transactions. We migrate lot master records and serial number assignments with their associated transaction history. Full traceability chains (source PO to receipt to work order to shipment) are preserved where the source data contains complete linkage.
Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
Mapping requiredECOs manage BOM and engineering change approvals. We migrate ECO headers and affected BOM revisions, but approval workflow history and electronic signatures must be evaluated per destination—some target systems do not replicate approval chain state.
Fixed Assets
Mapping requiredFixed asset records are available in Rootstock Advanced tier. We migrate asset masters with depreciation schedules, but depreciation method mappings and accumulated depreciation balances require field-level alignment with the destination's depreciation engine.
Project/Job Costing
Mapping requiredProject records in Rootstock collect costs across inventory, labor, and purchasing. We migrate project headers and cost entries, but billable rate schedules and project billing rules may need reconfiguration in the destination.
EDI Trading Partner Configurations
Mapping requiredEDI integration settings define document types and partner mappings. We migrate EDI partner configurations where they exist as structured data, but translation maps and communication protocols are typically destination-specific and require re-implementation.
