Overview
Sage 200cloud stores its chart of accounts as flat nominal codes with optional dimensional suffixes (Department, Cost Centre, Project), supporting SOP, POP, Stock, and Bill of Materials modules. Acumatica separates accounts into a core General Ledger account register plus a multi-segment subaccount dimension for company, division, department, and project filters. FlitStack AI extracts Sage 200cloud master records — customers, suppliers, stock items, nominal accounts, open sales and purchase orders, and full GL transaction history — via the Sage 200 Professional/Extra Online API (180 req/min, 10 req/s burst limit). We map each Sage nominal code to an Acumatica account and each Sage dimension to a subaccount segment, preserving original posting dates, amounts, and tax codes. Open SOP and POP documents migrate as held orders; inventory batches map to Acumatica stock items with warehouse locations. Workflows, automated alerts, and Sicon/third-party add-on logic do not migrate — these are destination-side constructs that must be rebuilt in Acumatica's automation framework. Reports and custom Excel exports from Sage are not migrated; underlying data supports their Acumatica equivalents.
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 Sage 200cloud 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.
Sage 200cloud
Nominal Account
Acumatica
Account (GL register)
1:1Sage nominal codes map directly to Acumatica GL accounts. The numeric segment of each Sage code becomes the AccountCD, while the plain‑language name populates the Description field. Any embedded department, cost‑centre, or project suffixes are parsed out and routed to the appropriate subaccount segment in Acumatica. FlitStack generates an account‑mapping specification that lists each source code, its target AccountCD, and the subaccount segment values to be created before import.
Sage 200cloud
Department / Cost Centre / Project (Sage dimension)
Acumatica
Subaccount (segmented dimension)
1:1Sage 200cloud dimensions (Department, Cost Centre, Project) are flat text values attached to nominal postings. These decompose into Acumatica's multi-segment subaccount structure where each Sage dimension maps to a dedicated segment (e.g. Segment 1 = Department, Segment 2 = Project).
Sage 200cloud
Customer
Acumatica
Customer
1:1Direct map. Sage customer fields (Account Ref, Name, Address, Credit Limit, Payment Terms, Tax ID) map to the corresponding Acumatica Customer fields. FlitStack extracts customer data via the Sage 200 API or CSV export and loads records into Acumatica using Import Scenarios or the REST API. For multi‑currency customers, Acumatica’s customer‑specific currency settings must be configured before import to ensure correct exchange‑rate handling and payment terms.
Sage 200cloud
Supplier
Acumatica
Vendor
1:1Direct map. Sage supplier records map to Acumatica Vendor entities. FlitStack pulls supplier data (Account Ref, Name, Address, Payment Terms, Tax ID, Approved status) via the Sage 200 API or CSV export and loads it using Import Scenarios or the REST API. Before import, Acumatica Vendor classes must be created to accommodate price‑list associations, and any approved‑vendor flags should be mirrored using the appropriate class settings to maintain purchasing controls.
Sage 200cloud
Stock Item
Acumatica
Stock Item / Non-Stock Item
1:1Sage stock items (Part No., Description, Unit of Measure, Stock Group, warehouse locations) map to Acumatica Inventory IDs. Items marked as non-stock in Sage map to Acumatica Non-Stock Items. Bom relationship requires Acumatica Bill of Materials configuration before component-level import.
Sage 200cloud
Sales Order (SOP) / Despatch Record
Acumatica
Sales Order / Shipment
1:1Open Sage SOP orders with status 'Held' or 'In Progress' migrate to Acumatica Sales Orders with the same status. Despatch records become Acumatica Shipment documents. Fully invoiced Sage orders are not migrated; their invoice data lives in the AP/AR modules.
Sage 200cloud
Purchase Order (POP) / Goods Received
Acumatica
Purchase Order / Receipt
1:1Open Sage POP orders are extracted via the Sage 200 API or CSV report and loaded into Acumatica as Purchase Orders. FlitStack sets them to a Held or Quotation status for review before release. Line items, promised dates, and vendor references are preserved. Goods Received records map to Acumatica Purchase Receipts, while invoiced POP records are skipped; their AP invoice data migrates as vendor transactions in the AP module.
Sage 200cloud
General Ledger Journal / Historical Transactions
Acumatica
GL Journal Entry
1:1Sage GL journals (date, account, debit/credit, analysis dimensions, tax code) map to Acumatica GL Batch entries. Sage dimension codes become subaccount segments in Acumatica. Tax codes require a tax agency and tax jurisdiction setup in Acumatica before tax posts can be reconciled.
Sage 200cloud
Invoice / Credit Note (AR / AP)
Acumatica
AR Invoice / AP Bill
1:1Sage AR invoices and credit notes map to Acumatica AR Invoices and AR Credit Memos. Sage AP invoices map to Acumatica AP Bills and AP Credit Memos. Open items migrate with outstanding amounts and due dates; cleared items migrate as historical records.
Sage 200cloud
Bank Account / Cash Book Entry
Acumatica
Cash Account / Cash Entry
1:1Sage cash‑book bank accounts are extracted via the Sage 200 API or CSV export and mapped to Acumatica Cash Account records, preserving the source bank account number and currency. Bank reconciliation data (statement lines, matched transactions) is not transferred; Acumatica’s bank reconciliation workflow runs on imported bank‑statement files after go‑live, and the team reconciles using Acumatica’s matching tools.
Sage 200cloud
Contact (Sage CRM)
Acumatica
Contact / Person (CRM)
1:1Sage 200cloud contact records are extracted via the Sage 200 API or CSV export and mapped to Acumatica Contacts, preserving name, email, phone, and role. Duplicate contacts are identified by email match and resolved before import. Associated activity records (calls, emails) are loaded as Acumatica Activity entities linked to the corresponding Contact, retaining original timestamps and descriptions.
Sage 200cloud
Project / Job Costing (Sage / Sicon)
Acumatica
Project / Project Task
1:1Sage Projects module or Sicon Projects data maps to Acumatica Projects. If Sage uses custom project-tracking fields (budget codes, WBS codes), these require custom fields on the Acumatica Project entity. Sicon-specific fields are preserved as reference notes or custom attributes.
Sage 200cloud
Bill of Materials (Sicon Manufacturing)
Acumatica
Bill of Materials / Production Order
1:1Sicon Manufacturing BOMs require Acumatica Manufacturing (Basic or Advanced) to be licensed and configured before migration. FlitStack preserves BOM data in a reference export; the Acumatica manufacturing setup plan is delivered separately and not included in the data migration scope.
Sage 200cloud
Sage User / Owner
Acumatica
Acumatica User / Employee
1:1Sage 200cloud user accounts are extracted via the Sage 200 API or CSV export and mapped to Acumatica Employee records, preserving name, email, and role. Owner resolution uses email as the matching key; FlitStack flags any unmatched emails before migration. All owners must be provisioned in Acumatica before transaction owner fields can be confirmed.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Sage 200cloud schema and master records via API and CSV reports
FlitStack connects to the Sage 200 Professional/Extra Online API using OAuth 2.0 (client credentials) and extracts master records: nominal accounts, dimensions, customers, suppliers, stock items, open SOP/POP orders, AR/AP open invoices, and GL journal history. Where API rate limits constrain large transaction sets, CSV report exports (Sage Customer Record CSV, Nominal Account CSV) complement the API extraction. We capture the original Sage transaction dates, amounts, tax codes, and dimension assignments for every posting.
Build Acumatica subaccount schema and account chart mapping plan
Before data moves into Acumatica, FlitStack delivers an account-mapping specification based on the Sage nominal code structure. Each Sage dimension (Department, Cost Centre, Project) maps to a dedicated subaccount segment in Acumatica's multi-segment subaccount schema. The specification names the segment, its purpose, and the source Sage dimension value that maps to each subaccount code. Acumatica administrators create the segments, subaccounts, and account records following this plan before the migration import begins.
Migrate master data: accounts, customers, suppliers, stock items, contacts
Master data is loaded first because transaction records (GL journals, invoices, orders) reference these entities via foreign keys. Sage customers, suppliers, and stock items are imported into Acumatica using Import Scenarios or direct REST API calls, with Sage Account_Ref as the external reference stored on the Acumatica record for traceability. Sage contact records are imported into the Acumatica CRM Contact entity. All master records are validated for referential integrity before the transaction layer begins.
Run sample migration of GL history and open orders with field-level diff
A representative slice of GL journal lines (typically 500–1,000 postings across multiple months) and all open SOP/POP orders are migrated into a test Acumatica company. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values (Sage nominal, amount, date, dimensions) against the imported Acumatica records (AccountID, amount, date, SubaccountID). The diff is reviewed with the customer to confirm subaccount segmentation is correct, tax postings reconcile, and SOP/POP statuses are acceptable before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
Full migration runs master data and transaction history into the production Acumatica company. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours from go-live trigger) captures any records created or modified in Sage 200cloud during the cutover period so Acumatica reflects the final state at the moment of switch-over. Every record written is logged with its source system ID, destination ID, and operation timestamp. One-click rollback reverts the Acumatica company to its pre-migration state if reconciliation against the Sage extract reveals unexpected discrepancies.
