Overview

What this migration involves

The migration from Sage 100cloud to Infor CloudSuite Industrial is a cross-platform ERP replacement that requires SQL-based extraction from Sage 100cloud's Pervasive SQL or Microsoft SQL Server database because Sage 100cloud publishes no public REST API for live transactional records. We connect via read-only SQL, extract the full set of master data and open transactions, and transform every record to align with Infor CloudSuite Industrial's schema. The chart of accounts requires structural reformatting: Sage uses flat account codes with optional segments, while Infor CloudSuite Industrial requires an 8-segment account code format (1-8-1-2-2-2-2-2). We map each Sage account segment to its corresponding Infor position during the transformation phase. Workflows, automations, report definitions, and forms do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every Sage workflow and automation requiring rebuild in Infor CloudSuite by the customer's implementation team. Sage 100cloud user-defined fields (UDFs) have no direct Infor equivalent and are flagged for manual re-entry post-migration.

Sage 100cloud

What's pushing teams away

  • Escalating subscription costs combined with module-specific licensing fees produce bills that grow faster than the business, driving mid-market customers toward flat-rate or unlimited-user platforms.
  • Persistent software glitches and performance slowdowns in database-heavy operations frustrate finance teams running month-end close under tight deadlines.
  • Limited automation and inability to configure workflow preferences force staff into repetitive manual tasks that modern cloud ERPs handle natively.
  • No modern REST API for live transactional data means integrations with CRMs, e-commerce platforms, and analytics warehouses require fragile workarounds or third-party middleware.
  • The underlying MAS 90/200 codebase shows its age in UI/UX, creating a steep learning curve for new employees and contributing to staff turnover.

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 Sage 100cloud objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Sage 100cloud 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.

Sage 100cloud

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

COA Account

lossy
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud stores a flat list of account codes with optional Type, Division, and Department segments. Infor CloudSuite Industrial requires an 8-segment account code in the format 1-8-1-2-2-2-2-2 (eight positions total: one digit, up to eight characters, one digit, two digits, two digits, two digits, two digits, two digits). We parse each Sage account code, map its segments to the corresponding Infor positions, and flag any account that exceeds Infor's segment length limits. The chart of accounts structure must be finalized in Infor CloudSuite before any GL transaction data can be imported, which means this mapping is the first step in the transformation phase and requires coordination with Infor's implementation team during their initial configuration sprint.

Sage 100cloud

Customer (AR_Customer)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud AR_Customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partners with BP Type = Customer. We preserve billing and shipping addresses, payment terms, credit limits, salesperson assignments, and the customer classification code. The BP Code in Infor is generated from the Sage customer number or account code. Customer-specific UDFs are exported to a sidecar CSV for manual re-entry because Infor CloudSuite does not support equivalent custom fields natively.

Sage 100cloud

Vendor (AP_Vendor)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud AP_Vendor records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partners with BP Type = Supplier. We preserve address, 1099 settings, payment terms, W-9 status, and tax identification. The 1099 flag values must be preserved explicitly during transformation because Infor CloudSuite uses a different enumeration for tax reporting codes. BP Code is derived from the Sage vendor number.

Sage 100cloud

Inventory Item (IC_Item and IC_BOM)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item Master + Warehouse/Bin + Lot/Serial

1:many
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud IC_Item and IC_BOM tables export multi-warehouse, multi-bin, lot/serial tracking, and BOM hierarchies. We reconstruct BOM parent-child relationships in Infor CloudSuite Industrial's Item Master with bill of materials, map warehouse and bin assignments, and preserve lot/serial numbers as Infor inventory lot records. Multi-bin locations from Sage become Infor warehouse-bin combinations. The migration must occur after the chart of accounts is configured because inventory valuation accounts in Sage reference GL account codes that must exist in Infor before import.

Sage 100cloud

Open AR Invoices

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Accounts Receivable Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Open accounts receivable are exported as individual invoice records with original invoice date, due date, amount remaining, aging bucket, and payment status. We preserve the original invoice date and due date, map the Sage AR clerk to an Infor user, and flag any invoices with a status other than open for customer review before migration. Invoices that have been partially paid carry the remaining balance amount only.

Sage 100cloud

Open AP Invoices

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Accounts Payable Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Open accounts payable records are pulled from the AP_Invoice and AP_Payment tables. We export invoice header and line-item detail, preserving vendor ID references, payment terms, and invoice numbers. Historical checks already cleared in Sage do not migrate; only open vouchers and invoices with a remaining balance transfer. The vendor BP record must exist in Infor before AP invoices can be imported because each invoice line references the supplier BP Code.

Sage 100cloud

Fixed Assets (FA_Asset)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Assets Register

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud FA_Asset records include acquisition cost, depreciation method, accumulated depreciation (book value), useful life, and asset class. We export the full fixed asset register and reconstruct depreciation schedules in Infor CloudSuite. Sage supports multiple depreciation books per asset; we migrate the primary book and flag secondary books for manual verification. The asset's gl_account mapping must reference Infor account codes already established during the chart of accounts configuration phase.

Sage 100cloud

Sales Orders and Invoices (SO_SalesOrder, OE_Invoice)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order Management

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud SO_SalesOrder and OE_Invoice headers and line items are accessible via SQL. We export order header fields (order number, customer reference, order date, requested ship date) and all line items (item number, quantity ordered, unit of measure, unit price, warehouse, tax code). Custom fields attached to order headers require separate extraction and manual mapping to Infor's sales document structure because the field types differ. Partially invoiced sales orders are flagged for customer review.

Sage 100cloud

Purchase Orders (PO_PurchaseOrder)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order Management

1:1
Fully supported

PO_PurchaseOrder records are accessible via SQL but often include partial receipts already applied in inventory. We flag partially-received POs during scoping so the customer can complete receipt processing or void remaining lines before migration begins. Infor CloudSuite expects clean PO data without partial receipt conflicts. The PO header maps to Infor PO, line items map to PO lines, and vendor references resolve to the BP Supplier record established during vendor migration.

Sage 100cloud

Job Costing Records (JC_Job and JC_Transaction)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Project Costing / Job Cost

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud JC_Job and JC_Transaction tables hold project cost tracking data including job structures with phases, cost codes, budget amounts, and actuals versus estimate. Job structures, phase hierarchies, and cost code assignments map to Infor CloudSuite's project costing object. Budget versus actual values transfer directly. Cost code references to GL accounts require account code mapping already completed during chart of accounts configuration.

Sage 100cloud

GL Transactions (GL_Transaction and GL_Batch)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

General Ledger

1:1
Fully supported

Sage 100cloud GL_Transaction and GL_Batch records export journal entry headers and line items with account codes, debit or credit amounts, and descriptions. We verify that all source fiscal periods are unlocked and fully posted before extraction. Batch numbers, journal entry numbers, and posting dates preserve. Account codes are reformatted to Infor's 8-segment format during transformation. Historical GL data migrates on a best-efforts basis for audit continuity; the customer should consult their auditor about whether historical periods require re-posting in Infor CloudSuite.

Sage 100cloud

Payroll History (PR_Payroll and PR_Employee)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Payroll Module

1:1
Fully supported

Payroll module data resides in PR_Payroll and PR_Employee tables. Year-to-date earnings, tax withholdings, and benefit deductions are exportable. Employee master data (address, hire date, pay frequency, exempt status) maps to Infor CloudSuite's Employee record. Deduction codes, garnishment setups, and benefit plan assignments require manual mapping by the customer's payroll administrator because benefit and deduction plan structures differ between Sage and Infor. Current-year payroll runs should be posted and finalized before migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Sage 100cloud requires SQL extraction with no REST API

    Sage 100cloud does not publish a public REST or GraphQL API for real-time export of transactional records. All data extraction requires direct SQL queries against the Pervasive SQL or Microsoft SQL Server database that hosts the Sage company. This means migration tooling must run with a read-only SQL connection, either inside the customer's network or through a VPN. We establish this connection during discovery, validate row counts against Sage Business Objects Information (BIE) data views, and extract all master data and transactional records before transformation begins. The absence of an API also means there is no webhooks or event-driven sync capability; the migration is a batch extract with a defined cutoff date.

  • Infor CloudSuite implementation takes 9-18 months, not 3-6

    Infor CloudSuite Industrial typically requires 9-18 months for full enterprise deployment, compared to Sage 100cloud's 3-6 month implementation cycle. This extended timeline reflects the scope of Infor's deployment methodology (Infor Deployment Methodology), which includes business process analysis, system configuration, integration development, UAT, and training. FlitStack AI handles the data extraction and transformation phase (4-8 weeks), but the full Infor CloudSuite deployment—including workflow configuration, report building, user training, and go-live—runs concurrently and extends well beyond our engagement. Customers should plan for parallel workstreams and resource allocation across both timelines.

  • GL periods must be fully posted before migration

    Infor CloudSuite requires all transactions to be posted and finalized in the source system before data can be safely imported. Sage 100cloud allows fiscal periods to be locked, preventing new journal entry postings to closed periods. If the migration scope includes historical GL data, we verify that source periods are not locked and that year-end roll-forward has been completed. Locked periods can be unlocked by a Sage administrator before migration but require elevated access and a business decision about audit integrity. Additionally, all open AR and AP invoices should be posted, and any partially-received purchase orders should be completed or voided before extraction.

  • Account code structure must be reformatted for Infor CloudSuite

    Sage 100cloud stores account codes as flat strings with optional segment separators, while Infor CloudSuite Industrial enforces an 8-segment account code format (1-8-1-2-2-2-2-2). This is not a cosmetic change; the chart of accounts structure is foundational to the GL and must be defined in Infor before any transaction data can be imported. We parse each Sage account code, map its segments to the corresponding Infor positions, and flag accounts that exceed Infor's segment length limits. The customer and Infor's implementation team must finalize the chart of accounts structure during Infor's configuration phase before we can complete the transformation and load GL transaction data.

  • Infor API Gateway has tier-specific rate limits

    Infor CloudSuite's API Gateway enforces tier-specific execution limits. The Essentials tier includes 250,000 API executions per month with a peak rate of 3,000 per minute; the Professional tier includes 1,250,000 executions with 3,000 per minute peak; the Enterprise tier includes 6,250,000 executions with 15,000 per minute peak. Add-on SKUs (ION-S-GATEWAY) provide additional blocks of 250,000 executions. During migration, if we are loading data through Infor's ION integration layer or using Infor OS APIs for validation, we must account for these limits. Most Sage-to-Infor migrations involve SQL-to-migration-database transfers that do not consume API Gateway limits, but any API-based validation or post-migration integrations should be planned with the tier limit in mind.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Sage 100cloud to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and SQL connection establishment

    We audit the source Sage 100cloud environment by establishing a read-only SQL connection to the underlying Pervasive SQL or Microsoft SQL Server database. We enumerate every module in use (GL, AR, AP, Inventory, Fixed Assets, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Job Costing, Payroll), estimate row counts per table, and identify any locked fiscal periods, partially-received POs, or open year-end batches. We also query the database schema to identify custom UDFs stored in module-specific extension tables. The discovery output is a written migration scope that lists every object, estimated volume, and any pre-migration cleanup tasks the customer must complete before extraction begins.

  2. Schema design and account code mapping

    We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite Industrial by mapping Sage source tables to Infor target objects. The most critical design task is the chart of accounts: we parse each Sage account code, determine its segment structure, and map those segments to Infor's required 8-segment format. We also configure the Business Partner classification (customer versus supplier versus both) and map Sage payment terms codes to Infor terms codes. This phase runs concurrently with Infor's own initial configuration sprint and requires the customer to share Infor's target environment access so we can validate schema compatibility before production migration.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Infor CloudSuite's migration database using a representative data volume extracted from the production Sage environment. We generate the Data Assessment Report that Infor's migration utility produces, identifying any data quality issues (invalid account codes, missing BP references, incomplete PO receipts). The customer's finance and operations leads reconcile record counts and spot-check 25-50 records against the Sage source. Any mapping corrections, account code reformatting adjustments, or BP classification changes happen at this stage. This step ensures the production migration encounters no schema surprises.

  4. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in strict record-dependency order: chart of accounts first (because GL and inventory records reference account codes), then Business Partners (customers and vendors), then inventory items with BOM hierarchies and warehouse assignments, then fixed assets, then open AR and AP invoices, then sales orders and purchase orders, then GL transactions, then payroll history. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We flag any record that fails validation (missing required field, invalid account code, orphaned BP reference) for the customer to resolve before we retry that record.

  5. Cutover and post-migration handoff

    We freeze writes in Sage 100cloud during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified since the last extraction, then close the Sage connection. We deliver the full migration completion report with record counts per object, a list of any records that could not migrate and why, and the sidecar CSV of Sage custom UDFs requiring manual re-entry in Infor CloudSuite. We do not rebuild Sage workflows, automations, or report definitions; we deliver a written inventory of every Sage automation and report with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Infor CloudSuite equivalent. Infor's implementation team handles workflow configuration, report building, and user training as part of the ongoing deployment engagement.
