Overview
Moving from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to Infor Cloudsuite is a cross-vendor ERP migration that requires resolving fundamental schema differences. SAP S/4HANA uses Business Partners as a unified concept for customers and vendors, a three-line GL account structure, and a heavily normalized OData model. Infor Cloudsuite uses separate Customer and Supplier records, a flat account structure, and a migration utility that relies on Import Rule Definitions for data transformation. We extract SAP master data through OData endpoints with endpoint-specific rate limiting, run pre-migration data profiling to surface the duplicate Business Partners and missing tax codes that HANA exposes immediately post-load, and sequence the Infor import using preliminary data transfer testing before committing to production tables. Workflows, SAP BTP extensions, Clean Core side-extensions, and quarterly auto-upgrade dependencies do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SAP S/4HANA Cloud 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.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Business Partner (Customer and Vendor)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer (CD) and Supplier (AP)
1:manySAP Business Partners with BP Role = Customer map to Infor Customer records (CD). BP Role = Supplier maps to Infor Supplier records (AP). BP Role = both (FLCU00 and FLVN00) generates both records with a cross-reference field. We use the BP number as the Infor Cuscde (Customer Code) and Suncde (Supplier Code), address data maps to CDARF/SDARF address structures, and payment terms map to Infor EPYRF. BP deduplication is critical because SAP in-memory processing surfaces duplicates immediately; we run a pre-migration profiling pass to flag BP records with identical names, tax IDs, or addresses for customer resolution before loading.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Material / Product
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (MITW)
1:1SAP Materials (MM module) map to Infor Item records with MITW as the master table. Material number becomes Infor Itnbr (Item Number), material type maps to Infor Itcls (Item Class), and the Purchasing, Sales, Storage, and Accounting views map to separate MITD (Item Description), MSSL (Stocking Location), and MGRP (Item Group) records. Unit-of-measure conversions from SAP T006 migrate as Infor UM-conversion pairs. Plant-specific data migrates to Infor facilities via the MWOC warehouse/master data linkage.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Chart of Accounts (GL Account)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Account Master (GLASTR/GLSGM)
1:1SAP GL accounts with the three-line structure (GL Account + Company Code + Operating Concern) require flattening into Infor's flat account code with company code and optional cost center segments. We decompose the SAP account hierarchy, map country-specific chart of accounts variants to Infor company-level account structures, and preserve controlling area assignments in Infor cost center segments. Account type (balance sheet vs P&L) migrates to Infor Acsbc (Account Subclass) for financial statement grouping.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Journal Entry / Financial Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Transaction (FTCRD)
1:1SAP journal entries (BKPF/BSEG document pairs) map to Infor GL Transaction records (FTCRD). The SAP document number and fiscal year become the Infor Tran# and Fiscal Year. Header-level tax codes, payment terms, and currency conversion factors migrate to FTCRD equivalent fields. Line-item GL account, debit/credit amounts, and cost center assignments map directly. Historical journal entry volume requires chunking by fiscal period and bulk-load sequencing to avoid Infor import utility timeouts.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Open AP / Open AR (Open Items)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice (ARRI) and AP Invoice (APVI)
1:1SAP open payables and receivables represented as open items linked to Business Partners map to Infor AR Invoice (ARRI) and AP Invoice (APVI) records. The SAP document number, amount, due date, clearing status, and payment terms migrate. Partially cleared items require line-item-level allocation mapping. We flag items with mismatched BP assignments for manual resolution before final load because SAP's in-memory processing may have exposed these as posting failures that need BP cleanup first.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Sales Order (SD Document)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order (SOShipH/SOShipL)
1:1SAP Sales Documents following the standard document flow (Quote to Order to Delivery to Billing) map to Infor SOShipH header and SOShipL line records. Header conditions and pricing elements migrate to SOShipH pricing fields. Schedule lines for delivery dates map to SOShipL ship date and promise date fields. Incomplete deliveries in SAP that remain open migrate as partial SOShip records with a flag for fulfillment team review.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Purchase Order (ME21N)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order (POPOH/POPOL)
1:1SAP Purchase Order header and item data including purchasing organization, plant assignment, and confirmation control map to Infor POPOH header and POPOL line records. Delivery addresses and purchasing info records migrate to Infor PO distributions and POPOH address fields. PO items with schedule lines migrate as separate POPOL schedule rows. Release strategy flags from SAP (for multi-level PO approval workflows) do not migrate; we document these as Infor approval workflow configuration items for the customer's admin.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Custom Fields (EEWC)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Columns (Import Rule Definition)
lossySAP custom fields created via the Enable Extended Workspace Configuration (EEWC) framework require Import Rule Definition in the Infor migration utility. Field length differences (SAP character limits vs Infor column widths), Y/N boolean to checkbox transforms, and date format normalization are handled through rule definitions. Complex custom fields that require cross-table lookups require custom stored procedures developed with Infor Consulting Services. We document every EEWC field with its activation status, data type, and recommended Infor handling approach.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Project (PS Module WBS and Networks)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project (PMSPH/PMSPL)
1:1SAP Project System WBS elements, networks, and activity elements map to Infor PMSPH project header and PMSPL task/phase lines. Project hierarchies with billing plan assignments and cost planning data migrate to Infor project cost categories. Deeply nested WBS structures with more than three levels require flattening in Infor unless the Infor project template supports multi-level WBS equivalents. We flag project templates that exceed Infor's default hierarchy depth for manual restructuring during cutover.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
User and Authorization (Business Role)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User and Authorization (USRDF/OPRDF)
1:1SAP user accounts mapped to business roles with field-level restriction fields map to Infor user records (USRDF) and authorization sets (OPRDF). We migrate user assignments and role mappings but flag that destination role structures differ significantly between SAP and Infor. SAP field-level restrictions require manual reconfiguration in Infor's authorization framework. Inactive SAP users migrate as inactive Infor users pending reactivation by the customer's security admin.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Company Code Configuration
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Company Setup (M0050/M0010)
lossySAP Company Code parameters (currency, country, fiscal year variant, address) map to Infor company setup records (M0050 company parameters and M0010 company master). Multiple company codes in SAP require multiple Infor company setups with intercompany account assignments. Fiscal year variant mapping is critical for GL history migration because SAP's flexible fiscal year variants (4-4-5, 4-5-4, period 13, etc.) must align with Infor's fiscal year definition to avoid posting date errors.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Cost Center / Profit Center
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Cost Center (GLCC)
1:1SAP cost centers and profit centers in the CO module map to Infor GL Cost Center records (GLCC). The controlling area assignments in SAP translate to Infor cost center group hierarchies. SAP's secondary cost element accounting migrates to Infor as statistical cost entries. Profit center reporting in SAP maps to Infor business unit or division structures depending on the customer's organizational design.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data extraction planning
We audit the source SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant across deployment variant (Public/Private/RISE), active company codes, Business Partner role assignments, material types and plants, GL account hierarchies, fiscal year variants, and open item aging. We identify which OData migration objects are available in the current tenancy, map the OData endpoint rate limits for each object type, and determine whether custom OData APIs (for EEWC custom fields) require BTP-side activation before extraction. The discovery output is a written data extraction plan, a preliminary BP deduplication report, and a GL account mapping matrix.
Data profiling and quality remediation
We run pre-migration data profiling against the SAP OData extract to surface duplicates, missing required fields, incomplete tax codes, mismatched country codes, and orphaned open items. This step is critical because SAP's in-memory HANA processing exposes these issues immediately post-load, and Infor's import utility will reject records with invalid references. We deliver a data quality report with record-level findings and recommended remediations. The customer cleanses data in SAP before extraction begins, or we document which records will land in Infor with warnings for post-migration resolution.
Infor schema design and import sequence definition
We design the destination Infor Cloudsuite schema including company setup (M0050/M0010), account master structure (GLASTR/GLSGM), customer and supplier records (CD/AP), item master (MITW/MITD), and GL cost center hierarchy (GLCC). We define the import sequences using Infor's migration utility, build Import Rule Definitions for standard field transforms (date formats, Y/N booleans, character truncations), and engage Infor Consulting Services for any required custom stored procedures. Schema is validated in an Infor non-production environment before production import begins.
Preliminary data transfer and rule refinement
We run preliminary data transfers in the Infor non-production environment using representative data volumes. The Infor migration utility auto-generates rule suggestions for common errors (field length, missing references, format mismatches). We refine Import Rule Definitions through one to three iteration cycles until the preliminary transfer completes without critical errors. This step validates that the SAP data model maps cleanly to Infor and identifies any objects that require custom stored procedure development. The customer reviews the Data Assessment Report output and approves the mapping before production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Company and fiscal year setup first (M0050/M0010), then GL account master (GLASTR), then cost centers (GLCC), then Business Partners split into Customers (CD) and Suppliers (AP), then Items (MITW/MITD), then open AP/AR invoices (ARRI/APVI), then purchase orders (POPOH/POPOL), then sales orders (SOShipH/SOShipL), then journal entry history (FTCRD) in fiscal-period chunks, and finally projects (PMSPH/PMSPL). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use the Infor import utility's batch processing with preliminary transfer validation at each phase.
Cutover, validation, and extension rebuild handoff
We freeze SAP writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor Cloudsuite as the system of record. We deliver the data migration completion report with record counts, error logs, and rejected record details. We deliver a separate written inventory of every active SAP Workflow, BTP side-extension, Clean Core custom field (EEWC), and quarterly upgrade dependency requiring rebuild in Infor's configuration framework. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve any data reconciliation issues raised by the customer's Infor administrator.
