Overview
Moving from SAVIO ERP to Epicor ERP is a structural migration for laminate manufacturers seeking a globally-supported platform with multi-plant, multi-currency, and API-driven integration capabilities. SAVIO ERP stores laminate-specific item attributes (size, thickness, finish plate, brand) as item properties with bar-coded sheet tracking and per-sheet expense costing; Epicor ERP uses a Part Master with variant configuration for size and finish dimensions and PartLot for lot-level inventory costing. We extract data via vendor-assisted database pulls or CSV exports since SAVIO publishes no API, stage the laminate-specific attributes in transformation tables, then load into Epicor Part Master with configured variants, Job Entry with routing from Press Planning, and PartLot with bar-code references. Workflows, automations, and E-way bill auto-generation settings do not migrate as configuration; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Epicor admin to rebuild in Kinetic. Visitor Management records and HR records beyond standard fields fall outside the migration scope.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SAVIO ERP object lands in Epicor Prophet 21, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Enquiries
Epicor Prophet 21
CRM Lead
1:1SAVIO ERP Sales Enquiry records with followup dates and reminder settings map to Epicor CRM Lead records. We preserve the reminder cadence as custom date fields (NextFollowupDate__c, ReminderDays__c) during migration. Followup status and assigned salesperson map to Lead Status and OwnerId via User lookup by email. If the customer uses Epicor's Service module, Enquiries map to Cases with a custom EnquiryType picklist.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Quotations
Epicor Prophet 21
Quote
1:1SAVIO ERP Quotations keyed by size, thickness, finish (plate), and brand map to Epicor Quote. Per-unit and brand-wise pricing rates transform to QuoteLine records with the Epicor PriceList lookup resolved at migration time. Laminate-specific attributes (plate type, finish code) migrate as custom QuoteLine fields or as part of the configured part variant.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Orders
Epicor Prophet 21
Sales Order
1:1SAVIO ERP Sales Order Booking maps to Epicor Sales Order. The OrderNumber becomes CustomerPoNum for traceability. Ship-by dates and production deadlines map to NeedByDate. Lines with production-linked items trigger Job Entry creation via Epicor's demand-to-production linking after migration.
SAVIO ERP
Production Requisitions
Epicor Prophet 21
Job Entry (MES)
1:1SAVIO ERP Production Requisition linked to Press Planning and Dryer Planning maps to Epicor Job Entry with routing operations. Press Planning sequences become Job Operations with work center assignments (Press stations, Dryer bays). D-lite (daily load) percentages and machine assignments migrate to JobOper records with setup and run hours estimated from the legacy planning data.
SAVIO ERP
Inventory Items (Sheet Inventory)
Epicor Prophet 21
Part Master + PartLot
1:manySAVIO ERP sheet inventory with size, thickness, finish (plate), and brand attributes maps to Epicor Part Master with a variant matrix for Dimension attributes (Length, Width, Thickness) and a Finish/Plate Code as a configurable attribute. Bar-code references from SAVIO ERP become PartLot lot numbers with lot attributes capturing per-sheet expense costing values. We stage laminate-specific item properties in a transformation table and write them to Part Master custom fields and PartLot attributes during migration.
SAVIO ERP
Customers
Epicor Prophet 21
Customer
1:1SAVIO ERP Party records (customer type) with outstanding balances and SMS/Email alert preferences map to Epicor Customer. We preserve contact-level alert settings as custom fields on the CustomerContact record. Outstanding balance at migration date becomes an open AR aging entry that the customer's Epicor admin reconciles post-migration.
SAVIO ERP
Vendors
Epicor Prophet 21
Supplier
1:1SAVIO ERP Party records (vendor type) map to Epicor Supplier. Contact information, payment terms, and bank details migrate to Supplier and SupplierPerson records. Any standing purchase arrangements keyed by laminate size or grade become Contract records in Epicor.
SAVIO ERP
Sales Invoices
Epicor Prophet 21
AR Invoice
1:1SAVIO ERP GST-compliant sales invoices map to Epicor AR Invoice. E-way bill reference numbers and export documentation flags migrate as custom Invoice fields (EWayBillNum__c, ExportDocRef__c) for audit traceability. Invoice line items resolve to PartNum and UOM from the Part Master mapping.
SAVIO ERP
Delivery Challans
Epicor Prophet 21
Shipment
1:1SAVIO ERP delivery challans map to Epicor Shipment records linked to the corresponding Sales Order. E-way bill compliance flags and interstate movement indicators migrate as custom Shipment fields. Challan line quantities verify against SAVIO ERP stock ledger entries during reconciliation.
SAVIO ERP
Chart of Accounts
Epicor Prophet 21
GL Account
1:1SAVIO ERP Accounts module ledger structure maps to Epicor GL Account with account codes preserved. Income and expense accounts map to standard Epicor account types (Revenue, Expense, Cost of Sales). Any laminate-industry-specific account codes (e.g., pressing cost, laminate material variance) become additional GL accounts that the customer's accountant assigns post-migration.
SAVIO ERP
E-way Bill Compliance Settings
Epicor Prophet 21
Custom Fields + Tax Configuration
lossySAVIO ERP auto E-way bill generation settings have no direct Epicor equivalent as a configured feature. We preserve the E-way bill threshold values, vehicle number templates, and GSTIN validation rules as custom fields on Customer and Shipment records and document them in a configuration guide for the customer's Epicor admin to implement via Epicor Tax Engine or a third-party E-way bill API integration.
SAVIO ERP
HR-Payroll Records (Standard)
Epicor Prophet 21
Employee
1:1SAVIO ERP Employee records with department assignments and basic compensation map to Epicor Employee. Standard fields (name, department, hire date, compensation) migrate. Advanced payroll configurations, attendance records, and leave management fall outside migration scope.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Vendor cooperation and data extraction planning
We engage SAVIO ERP's vendor to establish data extraction scope, schedule, and access method (direct DB read-only or CSV export per module). We map SAVIO ERP modules (Sales Enquiries, Quotations, Production Requisitions, Inventory, Party, Accounts, HR) to Epicor objects during this phase. We request database schema documentation or field lists from SAVIO ERP to build the extraction queries. Any extraction gaps identified here become scope adjustments before extraction begins.
Epicor Kinetic environment provisioning and schema design
We provision a Salesforce Epicor Kinetic Sandbox (or on-premises Dev environment) for migration staging. We design the Epicor schema: Part Master with variant matrix for laminate dimensions (Length, Width, Thickness, Finish), PartLot structure for bar-code references, Job Entry with routing for Press and Dryer Planning, GL Account chart aligned to SAVIO ERP account codes, and custom fields for E-way bill, plate type, and brand pricing. Epicor DMT or REST API access is configured for load orchestration.
Data extraction, profiling, and cleansing
We execute vendor-assisted data pulls from SAVIO ERP across all modules. Extracted data is profiled for duplicates, inconsistent naming conventions, missing required fields (e.g., GSTIN on customers), and inactive records. Data quality issues are documented in a cleansing report delivered to the customer's SAVIO ERP admin for remediation before migration staging begins. Duplicate part numbers, inconsistent UOM codes, and inactive customer records are the most common findings in legacy ERP migrations.
Transformation staging and Epicor sandbox migration
We stage extracted SAVIO ERP data in transformation tables with laminate-specific attribute mapping (size to variant dimension, thickness to variant dimension, finish to attribute, plate type to custom field). We run a full migration into the Epicor Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's Epicor admin reconciles record counts (Parts in, Customers in, Orders in, Jobs in, GL accounts in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against SAVIO ERP source, and signs off before production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: GL Accounts (foundation), Part Master (with variant matrix), PartLot (bar-code/lot), Customers and Suppliers, Sales Orders (with resolved PartNum references), Production Requisitions as Job Entry with routing, Quotes, AR Invoices, then historical production records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Epicor DMT handles high-volume part and transaction loads; REST API handles smaller reference data sets.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze SAVIO ERP writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Epicor as the system of record. We deliver an E-way bill configuration guide, a Press Planning-to-Job routing rebuild reference, and an E-way bill API integration recommendation document for the customer's Epicor admin. Visitor Management records do not migrate. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild SAVIO ERP automations as Epicor Kinetic workflow rules; that is a separate engagement.
