Overview
Moving from Standard ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-product ERP migration that requires careful sequencing because Standard ERP lacks a public REST API for bulk extraction, while Infor CloudSuite expects SQL Server source data and uses ION-based integration with XSLT-transformed BOD schemas. We begin by establishing read-only database access to Standard ERP or developing HAL-scripted export jobs, then map the GL hierarchy, customer and vendor masters, item records with BOM linkages, and open AP/AR aging into the CloudSuite migration database. HAL-scripted customizations are catalogued during discovery and mapped to CloudSuite custom fields or documented for manual reconstruction. Historical transactions in locked fiscal periods require temporary reactivation on the source system or reconstruction as current-period journal entries. Infor CloudSuite's fragmented portfolio of industry-specific editions means the destination edition (Industrial, Distribution, Food & Beverage, etc.) must be confirmed before schema mapping begins, as each edition carries a different table structure. We do not migrate HAL workflows, integrations, or custom report scripts; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer to rebuild with Infor's deployment methodology.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Standard 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.
Standard ERP
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account (COA)
1:1Standard ERP's structured GL hierarchy with account type, currency, and cost-center assignments maps directly to Infor CloudSuite's Chart of Accounts. We extract the full account structure including parent-child relationships and account classification, then replicate it in the destination with proper account code formatting. Multi-entity Infor deployments may require company code assignments that are configured during the destination schema setup phase.
Standard ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Bill-To
1:1Standard ERP customer records including billing address, shipping address, payment terms, and contact associations migrate 1:1 to Infor CloudSuite Customer. Customer-specific pricing tiers and credit limits transfer as custom fields or configuration settings in the destination. We validate address formats against Infor's country-specific requirements during import and flag any records that require manual address normalization.
Standard ERP
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier
1:1Vendor master records including bank details, 1099 flags, and purchase terms migrate to Infor CloudSuite Supplier. We validate vendor address formats and confirm that tax registration numbers (EIN/VAT) map correctly to the destination's tax ID fields. Standard ERP payment terms (Net 30, Net 60, etc.) map to Infor's payment term configuration codes.
Standard ERP
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1Standard ERP item records spanning inventory, non-inventory, and service variants with BOM linkages map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master. BOM structures and variant definitions translate to the destination item schema, including revision levels and routing references where applicable. Items that do not resolve cleanly due to structural differences are flagged for manual verification before the production import phase.
Standard ERP
BOM (Bill of Materials)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM / Formula
1:1Standard ERP BOM structures map to Infor CloudSuite's BOM or Formula module depending on the destination edition. We transfer the BOM header, component line structure, and quantity-per relationships. Routing detail attached to BOMs in Standard ERP may require post-migration configuration in Infor because routing is often stored as a separate ledger that cross-references production orders. We document every routing gap for the customer's Infor administrator.
Standard ERP
Open AP/AR
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable
1:1Outstanding invoices, credit memos, and payments are extracted from Standard ERP with full aging detail and matched to their corresponding GL entries for balance reconciliation. We import open AP documents as vendor invoices in Infor and open AR documents as customer invoices, preserving aging buckets and due dates. Prepayments and unapplied cash require separate handling because they map to different Infor transaction types.
Standard ERP
Job Costing Records
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Costing / Work Order
1:1Standard ERP job costing links labor, materials, and overhead to specific projects. We map these to Infor CloudSuite's project costing or work-order structure depending on the destination edition and configuration. Phase-level cost breakdowns preserve granularity. If the destination does not include a project costing module, we map job costs to the GL at the phase level and document the cost rollup structure for the customer's finance team.
Standard ERP
Production Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order / Work Order
1:1BOM-linked production orders including work-center assignments and actual versus estimated costs transfer to Infor CloudSuite Production Order. The order header and line structure migrate cleanly; however, Standard ERP stores routing detail as a separate ledger, so we cross-reference production order numbers against the routing table during extraction to ensure that work-center sequences are included. Any unresolved routing assignments are flagged as post-migration configuration items.
Standard ERP
Historical Transactions
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Journal Entries (by fiscal period)
1:1Standard ERP stores closed periods separately from open ones, and locked periods may require temporary reactivation on the source system before extraction. We extract the full transaction register including journal entries, map them to Infor CloudSuite fiscal periods, and normalize multi-currency transaction rates against the destination's rate table. Any transactions that cannot be reactivated are reconstructed as current-period adjustments and documented as such.
Standard ERP
Document Vault Attachments
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management (IDM)
lossyStandard ERP stores file attachments in a proprietary internal vault that does not export as standard files by default. We extract vault packages via HAL script or direct database queries, building a filename-to-record-ID mapping table during discovery. Attachments are then associated with the corresponding migrated records in Infor CloudSuite using Infor Document Management (IDM). Large attachment volumes may require staged transfer and are quoted as a separate scope item.
Standard ERP
Users and Roles
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Users and Role Assignments
1:1Standard ERP user accounts, roles, and permission sets migrate as a role-mapping exercise. We map Standard ERP user IDs and their role assignments to Infor CloudSuite user accounts and role profiles. Any permissions that lack a direct Infor equivalent are flagged in the role-mapping document for the customer to resolve. Active versus inactive user status is preserved in the destination.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and database access establishment
We audit Standard ERP across modules in use, HAL customizations, document vault volume, multi-currency configuration, and fiscal period structure. A critical first task is establishing read-only database access or developing HAL-scripted export jobs for each migrating entity. If Standard ERP uses a non-SQL Server database engine, we scope a staging SQL Server layer. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering object inventory, HAL customization catalog, and a data-dependency graph showing which records must migrate in what sequence.
Destination edition confirmation and schema design
Infor CloudSuite's table structure varies by edition (Industrial, Distribution, Food & Beverage, etc.). We confirm the destination edition with the customer before schema mapping begins, then compare the Standard ERP table schema against the Infor target schema using the Infor DataMap Schema-Properties spreadsheet and CloudSuite Database Schema Report. We design the mapping spreadsheet listing every Standard ERP table, its Infor equivalent, required transformations (data type changes, length adjustments, value translations), and any fields that have no destination counterpart. HAL custom fields are mapped to Infor custom fields, and any that cannot map are flagged for manual post-migration entry.
HAL customization cataloguing and rebuild inventory
We review every HAL script in the Standard ERP environment and produce a written inventory identifying each custom field, workflow trigger, and integration point. For each item, we specify whether it maps automatically to an Infor standard field, requires an Infor custom field, or lacks a direct equivalent and must be rebuilt manually in Infor OS or Mongoose after cutover. This inventory is delivered to the customer's Infor implementation team as a prerequisite for the rebuild phase.
Sandbox or staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging environment using representative data volume. The customer's finance and operations leads reconcile record counts and spot-check 25-50 records against the Standard ERP source. We verify that GL account balances reconcile, open AP/AR aging matches between source and destination, and BOM linkages resolve correctly in Infor. Any mapping corrections identified during staging are applied to the production migration scripts before cutover begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: GL Chart of Accounts first (because all transactional records reference accounts), then Vendors, Customers, Item Masters with BOM, open AP documents, open AR documents, historical journal entries, job costing records, production orders, and document attachments last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and a balance verification before the next phase begins. Locked fiscal periods are handled with temporary reactivation coordinated in advance with the finance team.
Cutover, validation, and implementation handoff
We freeze Standard ERP 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 HAL customization rebuild inventory, the integration assessment (ION endpoints and configuration requirements for any third-party systems previously connected via HAL), and the workflow automation handoff document. We support a one-week post-go-live window for reconciliation issues. We do not configure ION integrations, rebuild HAL automations, or configure Infor OS as part of the standard migration scope; these are separate engagements with the customer's Infor implementation partner.
