Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Solution ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a structural ERP migration that moves a mid-market Gulf-region platform to a global enterprise cloud suite with industry-specific data models. Solution ERP uses a unified Chart of Accounts with Gulf-specific VAT and excise tax codes that have no direct Infor CloudSuite equivalent; we build a translation table during scoping and flag codes without an Infor match for manual resolution. Solution ERP's multi-site configuration does not carry explicit legal-entity identifiers, so we derive entity boundaries from cost-centre codes and branch identifiers and confirm with the customer before finalising. Projects map directly to Infor CloudSuite project structures, and we preserve cost-centre hierarchies as Infor departments for construction and project-based companies. We do not migrate Solution ERP workflows or POS configurations as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor OS. Implementation timelines for Infor CloudSuite typically run six to eighteen months, and our migration work runs parallel to the Infor deployment rather than replacing it.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Solution ERP logo

Solution ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Processing speed degrades under multi-user load with large datasets, causing frustration during month-end close and high-transaction periods.
  • Information overload from dense dashboards overwhelms users who need simpler, role-specific views for daily operations.
  • Support responsiveness varies by region and tier, with some users reporting slower resolution times outside core business hours.
  • Limited third-party integrations compared to established global ERP platforms, creating friction for companies with diverse software ecosystems.
  • Customisation depth is narrower than tier-1 systems, restricting ability to model highly specialised industry workflows.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Solution ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Solution 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.

Solution ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Chart of Accounts (per legal entity)

1:1
Mapping required

Account codes, names, and hierarchies transfer with mapping to the destination Infor legal entity's chart. Gulf-specific VAT and excise tax codes require explicit translation because Solution ERP's Qatar tax catalogue does not have direct Infor equivalents. We extract the full tax code catalogue during discovery, build a mapping table to Infor's tax configuration, and flag codes without an equivalent for the customer's finance team to resolve before import. Active and inactive account flags transfer; inactive accounts are created in Infor but marked inactive to preserve audit continuity.

Solution ERP

Customers

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Customer master records including Arabic company names, contact details, addresses, and payment terms transfer. Arabic UTF-8 encoding is preserved, and we verify the destination Cloudsuite edition supports RTL field rendering. Tax registration numbers and credit limits map to Infor's customer tax and credit configuration. We resolve the Customer's legal entity assignment during scoping based on the customer's operating entity structure.

Solution ERP

Vendors

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

Vendor master records including tax registration numbers, IBAN bank details, and payment terms transfer. We validate IBAN and bank account formats against the destination country's banking standards and flag any records with format mismatches. Vendor tax codes map to the Infor supplier tax configuration using the same tax translation table built for the Chart of Accounts. Vendors are loaded before AP records so that supplier references are satisfied at insertion.

Solution ERP

Items

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item

1:1
Mapping required

Item records with pricing, stock levels, and unit-of-measure hierarchies require unit-of-measure mapping between Solution ERP's naming conventions and Infor's unit-of-measure standards. Item cost and standard price fields transfer to Infor's cost and price structure. We flag items with missing unit-of-measure assignments during discovery and quarantine them for manual resolution before the item import batch runs.

Solution ERP

Projects

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Project

1:1
Fully supported

Project records including budgets, milestones, phases, cost allocations, and billing schedules transfer directly to Infor CloudSuite's project module. Construction-specific phases and billing schedules map to Infor project phases and billing rules. Solution ERP cost-centre codes map to Infor department IDs, and we preserve the mapping in a cross-reference table for the customer's project team to validate post-migration. Project status, percent complete, and earned-value metrics transfer where the source fields are populated.

Solution ERP

Open AP

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AP Invoice / AP Payment

1:1
Fully supported

Outstanding payables require careful date-range scoping to prevent duplication. We match open invoice numbers against Infor's AP register using the supplier reference, invoice number, and invoice date as a composite dedupe key. Partial payments spanning the migration cutoff date are flagged and held for the customer's AP team to reconcile manually after cutover. We apply a migration-date balance adjustment to the supplier account for any transactions posted between the export snapshot and the cutover date.

Solution ERP

Open AR

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AR Invoice / AR Payment

1:1
Fully supported

Outstanding receivables are scoped, deduplicated, and loaded in the same manner as AP. We match open invoice numbers to Infor's AR register using customer reference, invoice number, and invoice date. Partial payments and credit memos spanning the cutoff date are flagged and held for manual reconciliation. Aged trial balance figures are preserved as of the migration date to support the customer's finance team in verifying the opening balance in Infor.

Solution ERP

Historical Transactions

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Journal Entry

1:1
Mapping required

Historical journal entries transfer on request with full line-item detail including posting date, period, account code, debit, credit, and description. Volume-based chunking applies for histories exceeding 50,000 lines; we chunk by fiscal year and load in sequence to preserve period continuity. Original posting dates and periods are preserved to maintain audit continuity. We flag duplicate entries identified through composite key matching (account, date, amount, description) for the customer's finance team to confirm before finalising the import.

Solution ERP

Documents

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Document

1:1
Mapping required

Attached files and document metadata (date, author, type, description) require file-type filtering because binary document storage models differ between Solution ERP and Infor CloudSuite. We extract document metadata separately from binary content, map metadata to Infor's document management fields, and flag any records with unsupported file types. Binary document migration to Infor Document Management requires a separate file transfer process coordinated with the customer's Infor implementation team.

Solution ERP

Bank/Cash Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Bank Account / Cash Account

1:1
Fully supported

Bank account balances and cash account records transfer with a migration-date cutoff balance adjustment. We reconcile any transactions posted between the export snapshot and the cutover date against the account balance to produce an adjusted opening balance for Infor. We preserve the original bank account code from Solution ERP as a reference field in Infor to support the customer's finance team in tracing historical transactions.

Solution ERP

Fixed Assets

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Asset

1:1
Mapping required

Asset registers including acquisition dates, depreciation methods, useful life, and net book value transfer to Infor's fixed asset module. We validate depreciation schedules against the destination's tax depreciation rules and flag any assets with depreciation methods not supported in Infor. Partially depreciated assets transfer with accumulated depreciation and NBV preserved to support the customer's fixed asset register continuity.

Solution ERP

Users

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

User

1:1
Mapping required

User accounts and role assignments transfer as role-name mappings because permission structures vary between Solution ERP and Infor CloudSuite. We flag admin-level accounts and accounts with custom permission sets for explicit review by the customer's Infor system administrator. The destination Infor tenant's user provisioning is coordinated with the Infor implementation team because Infor CloudSuite user management runs through the Infor OS identity layer.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Gulf VAT and excise tax codes require explicit translation

    Solution ERP's tax catalogue is built for Qatar's 5% standard VAT rate and excise tax classifications that do not map directly to Infor CloudSuite's standard tax configuration. Infor CloudSuite is a global platform without a pre-built Gulf VAT module; each tax code must be manually mapped to an Infor tax code or created as a custom tax code in the destination tenant. We extract the full Solution ERP tax catalogue during discovery, build a translation table, and flag every tax code without an Infor equivalent for the customer's finance team to resolve before the Chart of Accounts import. Skipping this step results in invoices posting with unclassified VAT that requires post-migration journal corrections.

  • POS transaction logs require COGS split before posting

    Solution ERP's integrated POS module logs retail transactions that do not map 1:1 to standard Infor CloudSuite sales invoices. POS entries in Solution ERP often lack the cost-of-goods-sold split needed for accurate financial posting in Infor, which expects separate revenue and COGS journal lines. We identify POS-specific transaction types during discovery, split each transaction into an invoice record and a COGS journal line using the destination's COGS accounts, and apply the result before import. This step adds time to the data preparation phase and requires the customer to confirm the correct COGS account assignments per product category.

  • Multi-site records lack explicit legal-entity identifiers

    Solution ERP supports multi-site configurations but the exported data does not always carry a legal-entity identifier. Infor CloudSuite uses separate legal entities per site or operating unit, and each entity has its own Chart of Accounts, AP/AR registers, and reporting structure. We derive entity boundaries from Solution ERP cost-centre codes and branch identifiers, but we cannot resolve ambiguous records without the customer's input. We flag records with ambiguous site assignments and hold them in a quarantine table until the customer's finance team confirms the correct Infor legal entity assignment.

  • Historical data quality degrades over three to five years

    Solution ERP data older than three to five years frequently contains missing fields, inconsistent date formats, duplicate ledger entries accumulated through years of manual corrections, and items with obsolete account assignments. We run pre-migration data quality checks and produce a cleaning report before any records are written to Infor. Historical records are migrated last and quarantined separately so that clean current-year data lands first. The customer's finance team reviews the historical data quality report and approves which records to migrate versus archive before the historical batch runs.

  • Infor CloudSuite deployment runs parallel to migration work

    Infor CloudSuite implementations follow a structured deployment methodology (Infor Deployment Accelerator or traditional phased implementation) that typically runs six to twenty-four months. Our migration work runs in parallel to the Infor deployment, not instead of it. The Infor tenant must be provisioned, the legal entity structure configured, the Chart of Accounts skeleton created, and the Infor implementation team engaged before we can load any records. If the Infor deployment is delayed, the migration timeline extends accordingly. We coordinate with the customer's Infor implementation partner to align data load readiness with the destination tenant's configuration readiness.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Solution ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and tax catalogue extraction

    We audit the Solution ERP database across all modules including Chart of Accounts, Customers, Vendors, Items, Projects, Work Orders, AP/AR, historical journals, bank accounts, fixed assets, and users. We extract the complete Gulf VAT and excise tax code catalogue with every item-level and vendor-level tax assignment, and we build a preliminary mapping to Infor CloudSuite tax codes. We also identify POS transaction types, multi-site configurations, and any Solution ERP custom fields that require mapping to Infor equivalents. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a tax translation table draft, and a data quality baseline report.

  2. Data quality cleaning and tax code resolution

    We run pre-migration data quality checks against the Solution ERP export including duplicate detection, date-format normalisation, missing required-field identification, and invalid IBAN/bank account flagging. We produce a cleaning report that the customer's finance and IT teams review. We also resolve the tax code translation table with the customer's finance team, flagging every code without a direct Infor equivalent for manual resolution. We quarantine historical records older than five years pending customer approval and clean current-year data as the first priority before any test migration runs.

  3. Infor tenant readiness coordination

    We coordinate with the customer's Infor implementation team to confirm that the destination Infor CloudSuite tenant is provisioned, legal entities are configured, the Chart of Accounts skeleton is in place, and the Infor OS identity layer is ready for user provisioning. We confirm that the migration user has the necessary Infor API permissions and that Infor's data load validation rules are documented so we can bypass or adjust them during migration. If the Infor tenant is not ready, migration cannot proceed past schema preparation.

  4. Test migration into Infor sandbox

    We run a full migration into the Infor sandbox environment using production-like data volume to validate the tax code translation table, entity segmentation, and account dependency chain. The customer's finance and IT leads reconcile record counts (accounts, customers, vendors, items, projects, AP/AR open items, journal lines) and spot-check twenty to fifty records against the Solution ERP source. Any mapping corrections, validation rule failures, or tax code gaps identified in sandbox are resolved before the production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in the correct record-dependency order: Chart of Accounts first (with resolved tax codes), then legal entities, then bank accounts, then customers and vendors (so AP/AR references are satisfied), then items, then projects, then open AP/AR invoices, then historical journal entries (chunked by fiscal year), then fixed assets, then users and custom fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We apply migration-date balance adjustments for any transactions posted between the export snapshot and the cutover date.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff

    We freeze Solution ERP writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration period, then confirm the Infor CloudSuite tenant as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Configuration Inventory document to the customer's Infor administrator, listing every Solution ERP workflow equivalent and POS configuration requiring rebuild in Infor OS. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Solution ERP workflows or POS configurations as Infor OS configurations within the migration scope; that work belongs to the Infor implementation partner.
