Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Rootstock Cloud ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-platform ERP migration with no shared data model. Rootstock extends the Salesforce object model with custom ERP objects; Infor CloudSuite runs its own database with ION integration and OAGIS BOD schemas. We begin by establishing the Infor destination schema—Company, Financials structure, warehouse hierarchy—and load foundational data (chart of accounts, item master, lot/serial) before transactional records (open sales orders, purchase orders, work orders, BOMs). BOM versioning in Rootstock does not map to a native version table in Infor CloudSuite Industrial; we collapse multi-version BOMs to a single active revision and preserve version history in a custom field. Salesforce custom fields on ERP objects require explicit enumeration during discovery because they do not surface through standard connectors. Workflows, automations, Salesforce Flows, and EDI translation maps do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation and integration for Infor ION rebuild by the customer's implementation team.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Rootstock Cloud ERP logo

Rootstock Cloud ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • 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.

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 Rootstock Cloud ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Rootstock Cloud ERP 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.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Financials Structure (GL Accounts, Companies)

1:1
Fully supported

Rootstock maintains the full chart of accounts on Salesforce with segment definitions, account types, and intercompany settings. Infor CloudSuite uses a Company-Ledger-GL Account structure where each Company defines the fiscal calendar, currency, and segment schema. We map Rootstock GL accounts to Infor GL Account codes, preserving account type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) and any multi-company intercompany flags as Infor Intercompany Account definitions. Multi-currency settings from Rootstock map to Infor Currency tables with appropriate exchange rate handling.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Items (Products)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item Master

1:1
Fully supported

Item master records are the foundational object in both systems. We map Rootstock Item fields (description, stocking policy, costing method, unit of measure, stocking location,ABC code) to Infor Item Master fields including Item Code, Description, Item Group, Unit of Measure, and Costing Method (Standard, Average). Rootstock's lot/serial tracking flag maps to Infor's serial and lot controls on the Item. Any custom Salesforce fields on the Item record are mapped to Infor User Defined Fields or ION User Area tags using XSLT transformations in the Graphical Mapper.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Vendors (Account with Vendor checkbox)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier/Vendor Master

1:1
Fully supported

Rootstock stores vendors as Account objects with the Vendor checkbox enabled, plus associated purchase terms, W-9/1099 settings, and EDI identifiers. Infor CloudSuite uses a separate Supplier Master with supplier sites for multi-address vendor management. We map the Rootstock vendor Account to an Infor Supplier with the primary site created from the Account address. EDI identifiers and payment terms migrate to Infor Supplier EDI and Payment Terms respectively. Multiple vendor sites in Rootstock map to multiple Infor Supplier Site records.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Customers (Accounts)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer Master

1:1
Fully supported

Rootstock shares the Salesforce Account object for customer records, with credit limits, payment terms, and tax codes stored on the Account or related custom fields. Infor CloudSuite uses a Customer Master with Customer Sites for multi-address management. We map Rootstock Account records to Infor Customer records, preserving credit limits, payment terms, and tax codes on the Customer or Customer Site. If Rootstock stores tax registration numbers in custom Salesforce fields, those map to Infor Customer Tax Registration records.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Lot and Serial Numbers

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Lot Master and Serial Number Master

1:1
Fully supported

Lot and serial traceability in Rootstock links Items to source documents and inventory transactions with full trace and track capabilities. Infor CloudSuite manages lot numbers at receipt and serial numbers at manufacturing or receipt. We migrate lot master records and serial number assignments with their original receipt dates, expiration dates, and associated transaction history. The traceability chain—linking lots and serials to the source Purchase Receipt or Work Order completion—is preserved by migrating the inventory transaction records alongside the lot/serial masters so that the full genealogy remains intact in Infor.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Sales Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Rootstock Sales Orders include header fields (customer, ship-to, terms, order date) and line items tied to the Item master with pricing, quantity, and scheduling. We map Rootstock Sales Order headers to Infor Sales Order with Order Type, Customer Reference, and terms. Line items map to Infor Sales Order Lines with Item Code, ordered quantity, unit price, and scheduled dates. Open and historical orders migrate with their fulfillment status preserved so that partially shipped orders retain their shipped and back-ordered quantities in Infor. Customer and ship-to addresses resolve to Infor Customer Site references.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Purchase Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Purchase Orders in Rootstock manage direct and indirect materials procurement with header, line items, receipt linkages, and approval status. We map PO headers to Infor Purchase Order with Supplier reference, Currency, and Terms. PO lines map to Infor PO Lines with Item Code, ordered quantity, and unit cost. Vendor records must be migrated first so that the Supplier reference is satisfied at import time. Partial receipt flags and received quantities map to Infor receipt records linked to the PO, preserving the partially received state for in-flight purchase orders.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Purchase Receipts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Receipt

1:1
Mapping required

Purchase Receipts in Rootstock link to POs and update inventory with received quantities, dates, and supplier references. We migrate receipt records with their PO line linkage and received quantities into Infor Purchase Receipts. Receipt dates and partial receipt flags reconcile against the destination PO to ensure that the received quantity does not exceed the PO line quantity. Receipts that reference lot or serial numbers link to the migrated lot/serial masters to maintain the receipt-to-lot traceability chain.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Bills of Materials (BOMs)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Bill of Material

lossy
Fully supported

Rootstock BOMs define multi-level component structures with quantities, operations, effective dates, and version control including alternate BOMs for manufacturing constraints. Infor CloudSuite Industrial BOMs use a production version model with Item BOMs, routing sequences, and ECO management through engineering change orders rather than native version tables. We collapse multi-version Rootstock BOMs into a single active revision using an effective-date selection rule (most recent non-future effective date), and we write obsolete BOM version references and their effective date ranges into a custom BOM Version History field on the Infor Item BOM for audit. Alternate BOMs from Rootstock map to separate Infor BOM records with a user-defined alternate code.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Work Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Production Order / Work Order

1:1
Fully supported

Work Orders in Rootstock represent manufacturing operations tied to a Sales Order or standalone job, with routing steps, labor estimates, and material allocations. Infor CloudSuite uses Production Orders as the primary manufacturing execution record with Work Order Master, routing operations, and material reservations. We map Rootstock Work Order headers to Infor Production Order with the Work Order number, linked Sales Order (via Infor Sales Order reference), Planned Start and Due dates, and BOM reference resolved to the migrated BOM revision. Material allocations map to Infor material requisition lines, and routing steps map to Infor Operation records with work center references.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Inventory Locations

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Warehouse and Location

1:1
Fully supported

Locations in Rootstock represent warehouses, plants, and stock points with address data, location types, and ABC analysis codes. Infor CloudSuite uses a Warehouse-Location-Bin hierarchy where Warehouses contain Locations (bins or stock points). We map Rootstock location records to Infor Warehouse records, and if Rootstock uses parent-warehouse relationships for multi-level hierarchies, we map those to Infor Warehouse structures. Current on-hand quantities migrate as Infor Inventory balances linked to the mapped Warehouse and Location, with ABC codes preserved as user-defined fields on the warehouse.

Rootstock Cloud ERP

Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Engineering Change Order

1:1
Mapping required

ECOs in Rootstock manage BOM and engineering change approvals with affected BOM revisions, approval workflow status, and effective dates. We migrate ECO headers and affected BOM revision links into Infor Engineering Change Order records. Approval workflow history and electronic signature records from Rootstock cannot be fully preserved because Infor's ECO approval model differs. We document the approval chain (approver, date, status) in a custom ECO Approval History field on the Infor ECO record so that the customer has an audit trail even if the native approval workflow requires rebuild.

Pair-specific challenges

  • BOM versioning collapses to a single active revision

    Rootstock supports BOM versioning with effective dates and alternate BOMs for manufacturing constraints—a feature with no direct native equivalent in Infor CloudSuite Industrial, which manages BOM versions through ECOs and production version fields rather than a version table. We identify every Item with multiple BOM versions in Rootstock during discovery, apply an effective-date selection rule to determine the single active revision, migrate that revision as the primary Infor BOM, and write the full version history (version ID, effective start, effective end, alternate flag) into a custom BOM_Version_History__c field on the Infor Item. Alternate BOMs from Rootstock become separate Infor BOM records with an Alternate BOM code. Migrations that skip BOM version analysis end up with duplicate or orphaned BOM structures in Infor.

  • Salesforce custom fields require explicit schema enumeration

    Rootstock extends the Salesforce data model with custom fields on ERP objects (Item records, Sales Order lines, Work Order headers, Account records). These custom fields do not surface through standard migration connectors because they are not part of the native Rootstock object list. We perform a pre-migration Salesforce schema review of every ERP object in the source org to enumerate all custom fields, their data types, and their usage. Custom fields map to Infor User Defined Fields (UDFs) or to the ION User Area of the target BOD using the Graphical Mapper XSLT transformations. Skipping this enumeration step results in business logic embedded in custom fields being silently dropped during migration.

  • ION BOD schema mapping replaces Salesforce API structure

    Rootstock exposes ERP data through Salesforce REST and Bulk APIs with standard Salesforce field names. Infor CloudSuite receives external data through ION using OAGIS BOD (Business Object Document) schemas, where XML structures define the noun and verb format for each object type. Custom fields, picklist values, and relational data from Salesforce do not map directly into Infor fields—they must be transformed through ION Mapper XSLT rules. We build the XSLT mapping layer during the discovery phase so that field transformations (XSL value-of, template-match, copy-of rules) are validated in a staging environment before production load. Without ION mapping, data arrives in Infor with missing or misaligned fields.

  • Multi-site inventory location hierarchy must be pre-mapped

    Rootstock organizations with complex multi-site hierarchies—regions, plants, warehouses, and bins—use a flat location list with optional parent-warehouse relationships. Infor CloudSuite enforces a strict Warehouse-Location-Bin hierarchy where each level has a specific role. We review the Rootstock location structure during discovery, resolve any circular parent assignments, and map each location to its Infor counterpart (Warehouse for plant/warehouse level, Location for bin/stock point level). We flag any locations that cannot map cleanly to the Infor hierarchy for customer resolution before migration begins. Skipping this step produces orphaned inventory balances in Infor.

  • Purchase Receipt linkage depends on PO migration order

    Purchase Receipt records in Rootstock link to PO lines and carry received quantities, receipt dates, and lot/serial assignments. Infor CloudSuite enforces referential integrity between Purchase Receipts and Purchase Orders—if the PO does not exist or the received quantity exceeds the PO line quantity, the receipt fails to import. We sequence the migration so that Purchase Orders load first, Purchase Receipts load second, and we reconcile receipt quantities against PO line received totals before committing. Receipts that exceed PO line quantities are flagged for customer review and adjusted to match the open PO quantity.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Rootstock Cloud ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and source schema enumeration

    We audit the source Rootstock org across all activated modules (Growth, Advanced, or Enterprise tier) to enumerate the ERP objects in use, their record counts, and any Salesforce custom fields on ERP objects. We identify multi-version BOMs, lot/serial tracking configurations, multi-site location structures, and open transaction volumes (open Sales Orders, POs, Work Orders). We also review active Salesforce Flows, approval processes, and EDI integrations for the automation inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts per object, BOM version analysis, and the Infor CloudSuite edition recommendation.

  2. Destination schema design and ION mapping layer

    We design the Infor CloudSuite destination schema, including the Company structure, Financials hierarchy (GL accounts, segments, intercompany), Warehouse and Location setup, and Item master configuration. For each ERP object with Salesforce custom fields, we define Infor User Defined Fields or ION User Area mappings and build the XSLT transformation rules using Infor's Graphical Mapper. BOM versioning collapse rules are documented with the effective-date selection logic for each Item. The ION BOD mapping layer is validated against a staging Infor tenant before any production data moves.

  3. Foundational data migration

    We load foundational records in strict dependency order: Chart of Accounts and Financials structure (first, because all transactional records reference GL accounts), Item Master with costing and UOM definitions, Lot and Serial Number masters, Warehouse and Location hierarchy, and Supplier and Customer masters. Each object is loaded using Infor's Migration Utility with preconfigured table mappings or custom table mappings for non-standard objects. We run row-count reconciliation and spot-check 25-50 records per object against the Rootstock source before proceeding.

  4. Transactional data migration with receipt reconciliation

    We load transactional records after foundational data is validated: Purchase Orders first (since Purchase Receipts depend on them), then Purchase Receipts with referential integrity checks against PO line quantities, then Sales Orders with Customer Site resolution, then Work Orders with BOM and Routing references resolved to the migrated BOM revision. BOM structures load last in the manufacturing sequence because Work Orders depend on them. We use Infor's Data Assessment Report to validate data before committing to target tables, and we generate Data Transfer Logs for audit.

  5. BOM and ECO migration with version collapse

    We execute BOM migration with the version collapse strategy applied. For each Item with multiple Rootstock BOM versions, we select the active revision (most recent non-future effective date) as the primary Infor BOM. Alternate BOMs become separate Infor BOM records. Version history is written to a custom BOM_Version_History__c field on each Item. ECO records migrate with header and affected BOM revision links; approval history is written to a custom ECO_Approval_History__c field. Lot/serial transaction history migrates after BOMs to preserve the full traceability chain from receipt through manufacturing to shipment.

  6. Cutover, reconciliation, and automation inventory delivery

    We freeze writes in Rootstock during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver a full reconciliation report comparing record counts by object and spot-checking field-level accuracy. We deliver the Salesforce Flow, approval process, and EDI integration inventory document to the customer's implementation team for ION rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve post-migration data issues. We do not rebuild Salesforce Flows as ION configurations or rebuild EDI translation maps; those are separate implementation scope.

Most data-focused migrations land between three and six weeks for accounts under 50,000 Items, 2,000 open Sales Orders, and straightforward single-level BOM structures. Migrations with multi-level BOMs requiring version collapse, large lot/serial transaction histories (hundreds of thousands of records), or complex multi-site inventory hierarchies move to eight to fourteen weeks because of BOM analysis time, ION mapping validation, and extended reconciliation. Full Infor CloudSuite implementations—including configuration, testing, and training—run nine to eighteen months, which is separate scope from the data migration itself.
