Overview
Moving from Sales ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a structural migration from a Salesforce-based object model to an industry-specific ERP entity structure. Sales ERP exposes Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Leads, Orders, and custom objects via Salesforce's REST and Bulk API 2.0; Infor CloudSuite uses Business Partners, Contacts, Sales Orders, Quotes, and Items in a multi-tenant environment with no direct database access. We extract Salesforce records using Bulk API 2.0 with chunking, transform field values to Infor data types, and load through Infor's migration utility in a dependency-aware sequence: master data (Business Partners, Items) first, then transactional records (Orders, Quotes, Projects) with parent-record lookups resolved before child inserts. Workflows, approval processes, and Salesforce Flows do not migrate; we deliver a written automation inventory for the customer's Infor implementation partner to rebuild. Historical data volume requires explicit scoping because CloudSuite's transactional database has performance implications for multi-year record sets.
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 Sales 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.
Sales ERP
Account
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Company)
1:1Salesforce Account records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner entities with BP Type = Customer (or Prospect). The Account Name becomes BP Name, Shipping Address maps to Ship-To address, and Billing Address maps to Bill-To address. Business Partner must be inserted before Contact and before any Order referencing that BP. Multi-site organizations with multiple Shipping Addresses in Salesforce become separate Address records linked to the same Business Partner.
Sales ERP
Contact
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contact
1:1Salesforce Contact records map to Infor CloudSuite Contact entities linked to a Business Partner. The Contact FirstName and LastName map to Contact Name fields, Email maps to Email Address, and Phone maps to Phone. Salesforce Contact roles on Accounts map to Contact Address roles in Infor. De-duplication is based on email match against existing Infor Contacts within the same Business Partner.
Sales ERP
Opportunity
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Quote or Sales Order
lossySalesforce Opportunity records map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Quote (pre-close) or Sales Order (post-close) entities. The Opportunity Name becomes Quote/Order Description. StageName maps to Order Status (Quote, Released, Shipped, Invoiced). CloseDate maps to Order Date or Required Date. Amount maps to Order Total with currency preserved. The mapping splits depends on whether the Opportunity is open (Quote) or closed-won (Sales Order) at migration time.
Sales ERP
Lead
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Prospect or Business Partner (Type=Prospect)
1:1Salesforce Lead records map to Infor CloudSuite Prospect entities. Lead_Status maps to Prospect Status, and Lead_Score maps to a custom field. Converted Leads that have already been converted to Account and Contact in Salesforce map as Business Partner and Contact rather than Prospect. We apply the same split logic used in the Salesforce org to determine whether to import as Prospect or Business Partner.
Sales ERP
Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Salesforce Order records map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order with OrderNumber preserved as a custom field, Status maps to Order Status, and TotalAmount maps to Order Total. The Account-Order relationship maps via the Business Partner reference. Order items (OrderProducts) map to Sales Order Line records with Item Number, Quantity, and Unit Price.
Sales ERP
Contract
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Contract or Sales Contract
1:1Salesforce Contract records map to Infor CloudSuite Contract entities linked to a Business Partner. Contract Number, StartDate, EndDate, and Status migrate directly. Contract Line Items map to Contract Schedule lines if the destination configuration includes contract management. Renewal terms and special pricing conditions require custom field mapping.
Sales ERP
Product2
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item
1:1Salesforce Product2 records map to Infor CloudSuite Item master records. Product Name becomes Item Description, ProductCode becomes Item Number (with validation against Infor's alphanumeric format), and IsActive maps to Item Status. Product families map to Infor Product Groups. Price Book Entries with standard prices become Infor Sales Price records linked to the Item.
Sales ERP
OpportunityLineItem
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order Line
1:1Salesforce Opportunity Product (Line Item) records map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order Line records. We resolve the Product2 reference to the Item Number, the PricebookEntry to the Sales Price, and the parent Opportunity to the Sales Order. Quantity, UnitPrice, and TotalPrice migrate directly with currency handling applied.
Sales ERP
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User or Employee
1:1Salesforce User records map to Infor CloudSuite User entities by email match. OwnerId references on Account, Contact, Opportunity, and Order resolve through this mapping. We flag any Salesforce Owner without a matching Infor User for admin provisioning before record migration. Active vs inactive status is preserved. Role and Profile assignments do not have a direct Infor equivalent and are documented for manual assignment post-migration.
Sales ERP
Custom Objects (__c)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Extended Tables or Custom Fields
lossySalesforce custom objects require a schema mapping assessment before migration. Simple custom objects with standard field types (text, number, date, picklist) map to Infor CloudSuite extended data structures or custom fields on the equivalent standard entity. Complex custom objects with cross-object lookups may require redesign as separate tables with explicit join fields. We cannot apply custom formulas or validation rules from Salesforce to Infor; these are documented for manual configuration post-migration.
Sales ERP
Attachments and Notes
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Document Management (IDM)
1:manySalesforce Attachments on Account, Contact, Opportunity, and Order migrate to Infor Document Management (IDM) linked to the corresponding Business Partner, Contact, Sales Quote, or Sales Order. Each attachment is stored as a document record with the original filename, content type, and binary content. Notes migrate as text documents in IDM with the same parent reference. Multi-attachment-per-record scenarios are handled as separate IDM document records with a sequence or category field to preserve original ordering.
Sales ERP
Case
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Service Management Ticket or Project Task
lossySalesforce Cases map to Infor CloudSuite Service Management tickets if the destination configuration includes the service module. Case Number becomes Ticket Number, Status maps to Ticket Status, and Priority maps to Ticket Priority. If the service module is not in scope, Cases map to Project Task records or are documented as requiring the Service Management module activation. Case Comments migrate as Notes attached to the Ticket.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Sales ERP gotchas
API rate limits cap daily call volume by license tier
Historical data is often left behind to cut implementation scope
Custom object attachments require Base64 encoding
Object relationships break silently without ID preservation
Data quality issues derail migration timelines
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and migration scope definition
We audit the source Sales ERP org across Salesforce edition tier, custom objects, active Flows and approval processes, pipeline and record type count, order and quote volume, engagement history, and attachment count. We pair this with an Infor CloudSuite edition assessment (Industrial, Distribution, Automotive, etc.) and document the master data requirements (Business Partner types, Item numbering conventions, multi-company structure). The discovery output is a written migration scope, a historical data strategy recommendation, and an automation inventory list for the customer's Infor implementation partner.
Schema mapping and Infor migration utility configuration
We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite using Infor's migration utility. This includes configuring import parameters to connect to the Salesforce export, defining source tables and target tables for every Salesforce object in scope, reviewing and adjusting the predefined mapping sequences, and adding mappings for any custom Salesforce fields with no standard Infor counterpart. The migration utility generates a Data Assessment Report that we review with the customer to validate field-level mapping before any data is committed.
Master data migration sequence
We run master data migration first: Business Partners (from Salesforce Accounts), Contacts (from Salesforce Contacts), Items (from Salesforce Products and Price Book Entries). Each entity type is loaded in dependency order with de-duplication checks. Business Partner must be inserted before Contact and before any Order referencing that Business Partner. The migration utility's Data Assessment Report flags any missing prerequisite data (e.g., tax parameters, billing codes) that must be entered manually into Infor CloudSuite forms before transaction migration can proceed.
Transaction and custom object migration
We run transactional data migration second: Sales Quotes and Orders (from Salesforce Opportunities and Orders), Contracts (from Salesforce Contracts), and custom object records. Each transaction type is loaded with parent-record lookups resolved (Business Partner ID on Orders, Item Number on Line Items). We use the migration utility's log tab to monitor transfer status and resolve errors. Custom objects with cross-object lookups are migrated last after all parent records are confirmed in the database.
Attachment and document migration
We migrate Salesforce Attachments and Notes to Infor Document Management (IDM) linked to the corresponding Business Partner, Contact, Sales Quote, or Sales Order. Each document is uploaded with the original filename, content type, and creation date preserved. We run a document count reconciliation against the Salesforce attachment export to verify completeness.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Salesforce writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and hand off to the customer's Infor administrator. We deliver the Flow and approval process inventory document to the Infor implementation partner for rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Salesforce Flows as Infor BPM workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement handled by the Infor implementation partner.
