Overview
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.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Financials Structure (GL Accounts, Companies)
1:1Rootstock 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)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1Item 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)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier/Vendor Master
1:1Rootstock 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)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer Master
1:1Rootstock 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Lot Master and Serial Number Master
1:1Lot 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Rootstock 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Purchase 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Receipt
1:1Purchase 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)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Material
lossyRootstock 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order / Work Order
1:1Work 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse and Location
1:1Locations 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)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Engineering Change Order
1:1ECOs 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
Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
