Overview
Moving from Shipedge to Infor CloudSuite is a category-level migration: Shipedge is a cloud OMS and WMS built for 3PL warehouses and ecommerce merchants, while Infor CloudSuite is a multi-tenant enterprise ERP built for manufacturing and distribution at scale. The data model shift is significant — Shipedge centers on Orders routed across Warehouses and Carriers, while Infor centers on Items, BOMs, and Supply Chain. We extract Shipedge records via REST API v4, transform them into Infor-compatible SQL table inserts for the Infor migration database, and load through Infor's migration utility. Order Rules (routing logic), integration OAuth tokens, and custom Shipedge workflow configurations do not migrate and are documented for rebuild in Infor ION or manually. The migration runs in dependency order: master data first (Items, Customers, Suppliers, Warehouses), then transactional history (Orders, Shipments), then open Returns, with final validation against Shipedge record counts before production cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Shipedge 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.
Shipedge
Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order / Distribution Order
1:1Shipedge Orders map to Infor Sales Order (or Distribution Order depending on CloudSuite edition). The Shipedge order number becomes the external order reference in Infor; order status (pending, shipped, cancelled) maps to Infor's order status codes. Shipedge's line items map to Infor order detail lines with SKU resolved to the Infor Item Master. We resolve Warehouse location from Shipedge's routing rules and set the Infor ship-from warehouse accordingly. Open orders migrate as open; closed orders migrate with full fulfillment history preserved.
Shipedge
Products
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1Shipedge Products (SKUs with variant attributes) map to Infor Item Master records. The Shipedge SKU becomes Infor Item Number; variant attributes (size, color, material) map to Infor's item specifications or UDFs. Supplier links from Shipedge Product records attach to Infor Supplier items. Barcodes migrate to Infor Item Bar Code records. Kit configurations from Shipedge migrate as Infor BOMs with assembly steps if the destination CloudSuite edition includes manufacturing.
Shipedge
Inventory
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory / Warehouse Location
1:1Shipedge inventory is warehouse-site-specific with location-aware quantities, lot numbers, and bin assignments. We export per-warehouse inventory snapshots and map them to Infor's inventory ledger per warehouse site. Bin and lot data migrates to Infor Inventory Location and Lot/Serial records respectively. Note: if lot numbers were never entered in Shipedge (common in fast-moving SKU environments), they will not appear in the export. Infor's multi-warehouse configuration requires each Shipedge warehouse to be pre-created as an Infor Site.
Shipedge
Customers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer Master
1:1Shipedge Customer records (billing/shipping addresses, contact info, order history) map to Infor Customer Master. The customer email becomes the Infor contact key; addresses map to Infor ship-to and bill-to locations. Customer-specific pricing or discount tiers from Shipedge map to Infor price lists attached to the Customer Master. Custom fields or customer tags on Shipedge records require custom field mapping in Infor's UDF structure.
Shipedge
Suppliers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier Master
1:1Shipedge Suppliers (contact details, lead times, linked to Purchase Orders) map to Infor Supplier Master. Shipedge supplier SKU references migrate as supplier item cross-references in Infor. Custom fields on Shipedge Supplier records vary by account configuration; we map standard fields (name, email, phone, address) and flag any custom fields for Infor UDF mapping during discovery.
Shipedge
Shipments
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Shipment / Outbound Logistics
1:1Shipedge shipment records (carrier, service level, tracking number, weight, dimensions) map to Infor shipment records linked to the corresponding Sales Order. Carrier codes and service-level values transform to Infor carrier and method codes. Tracking URLs migrate as shipment notes. Historical shipment records preserve the original shipping cost from Shipedge for audit trail purposes.
Shipedge
Returns
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
RMA / Return Management
1:1Return Authorizations, return reasons, and disposition codes from Shipedge's reverse logistics module map to Infor RMA records. Disposition mappings (restock vs. dispose vs. return to supplier) translate to Infor disposition codes. Open RMAs migrate as active; closed RMAs preserve disposition history. We flag disposition code differences between Shipedge and Infor during scoping so the customer can confirm the mapping before migration.
Shipedge
Warehouses
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Site / Warehouse Configuration
1:1Shipedge warehouse sites (each with own inventory pool, picking workflows, and shipping accounts) map directly to Infor Sites. We export warehouse address, operating hours, carrier accounts, and picking workflow flags from Shipedge and configure the equivalent Infor Site records before inventory migration begins. Multi-warehouse Shipedge customers require each site to be pre-created in Infor as a prerequisite for inventory load.
Shipedge
Order Rules
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Workflow / Routing Rules (manual rebuild required)
lossyShipedge Order Rules define automated routing logic (warehouse selection, carrier assignment, split-order conditions) based on account-specific configurations. These rules are stored in Shipedge's proprietary format with no documented export mechanism. We flag all active Order Rules during discovery with their trigger conditions and actions, and the customer manually re-implements them in Infor (typically 1-3 days of manual work depending on rule complexity). This object is flagged as NOT migrating automatically.
Shipedge
Integrations
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Channel Connections (re-authorization required)
lossyShipedge channel integrations (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, Magento) store OAuth tokens and API credentials bound to Shipedge's app registrations. We cannot export these secrets for security reasons. We export the full list of active integrations with their configuration parameters (order pull rules, inventory sync settings, channel-specific mappings) so the customer's admin can re-authorize each connection in Infor ION or the equivalent channel connector. This is a manual reconnection step, not an automated data migration.
Shipedge
Users
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User / Employee
1:1Shipedge User accounts (name, email, role, warehouse assignments) map to Infor User or Employee records. We export user name, email, and role from Shipedge but cannot transfer authentication credentials; users must be provisioned fresh in Infor with new passwords. Role mappings from Shipedge (warehouse picker, admin, manager) map to Infor role assignments. Inactive Shipedge users migrate as inactive Infor users unless the customer specifies otherwise.
Shipedge
Batches
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Pick/Pack Batch Records
1:1Shipedge Batch Fulfillment View (v11+ feature) groups orders into batches for warehouse picking. Batch records include batch number, order count, SKU count, units, and ship method. We export batch metadata and link it to the corresponding migrated orders in Infor. Batch-level picking workflows in Infor need to be reconfigured per Infor's warehouse execution module since batch representation differs from Shipedge's v11 batch view.

Migration approach
Discovery and source audit
We audit Shipedge across all modules in scope — Orders, Products, Inventory, Customers, Suppliers, Shipments, Returns, Warehouses, Batches, and Kits. We extract record counts, identify custom fields, document active Order Rules, and inventory active channel integrations. We pair this with an Infor CloudSuite edition assessment (Industrial, Distribution, Food & Beverage, etc.) to confirm the correct target schema. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with object-level mapping, a dependency graph for Infor's sequential import order, and a list of items requiring manual re-authorization or rebuild.
Schema pre-creation in Infor migration database
We create the Infor migration database and pre-configure the target tables. This includes provisioning Infor Item Master records (from Shipedge Products), Customer and Supplier Master records, Site/Warehouse configurations, and any custom UDFs required for Shipedge custom fields that have no direct Infor equivalent. Infor requires that the migration database be initialized and the Migration Utility pack be installed before any import steps run. We coordinate with the customer's Infor implementation partner to confirm the migration database is ready.
Data extraction and transformation
We extract Shipedge records via the REST API v4 (OMS and WMS endpoints) using batched pagination to handle large record volumes. Each record type is transformed into the corresponding Infor SQL table format with field-level type conversion, code lookups for drop-down values, and date/timestamp normalization. Custom Shipedge fields that have no Infor equivalent are mapped to Infor UDFs. The transformation layer handles the Shipedge order-centric model to Infor item-centric model shift during this step, not during import.
Master data migration (Items, Customers, Suppliers, Warehouses)
We run the first migration phase for master data only — Item Master, Customer Master, Supplier Master, and Site/Warehouse records. Infor's migration utility requires that codes (item numbers, customer IDs, supplier numbers) exist before transactional records referencing them can be loaded. We generate a Data Assessment Report from Infor's Preliminary Data Transfer step, review any validation errors, correct them, and re-run before committing to the migration database. Master data migration emits a row-count reconciliation report before proceeding to transactional data.
Transactional data migration (Orders, Shipments, Returns)
We run the second migration phase for transactional records — Orders, Shipments, and Returns — using the validated master data as the lookup foundation. Shipedge Orders map to Infor Sales Orders; Shipments link to the corresponding order; Returns map to Infor RMA records. We use Infor's Import Data Transfer with batched loads and review the data transfer log for each sequence. Any rejected records are corrected in the transformation layer and re-loaded in the next batch. Historical closed orders are loaded per the agreed archive boundary (typically 1-2 years to production, older data to Infor Data Lake).
Cutover, delta sync, and Order Rules handoff
We freeze Shipedge writes during the final cutover window, run a delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then close the Shipedge connection. We deliver a written inventory of every active Order Rule and integration configuration to the customer's Infor admin team for manual rebuild. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve any data reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Shipedge Order Rules in Infor ION or automate channel re-authorization as part of the standard migration scope.
