Migrate from Stride ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Stride organizes accounts in a standard COA with parent-child hierarchy and account codes. We extract the full account tree, map Stride account codes to Infor CloudSuite's segment-structured COA, and reconstruct the hierarchy in Infor's financial forms. The destination's segment structure may differ from Stride's flat coding scheme, requiring us to map account codes to the appropriate Infor Business Unit and Cost Center segments during configuration. Account types (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) map directly to Infor's account classifications.

Stride Customer records transfer to Infor CloudSuite's Customer master, preserving billing addresses, credit terms, payment hold status, and contact details. We identify and flag any Stride customers with a soft-deleted status to exclude from the active customer load. Customer price lists and discount groups in Stride map to Infor's pricing structures, though these require manual configuration in Infor rather than direct data migration.

Vendor master data with AP aging balances transfers cleanly to Infor CloudSuite's Vendor master. We preserve payment terms, bank details, and W-9 or tax registration fields where they exist in the Stride export. Any vendor records marked as inactive or soft-deleted in Stride are flagged and excluded from the active vendor load to avoid importing dormant suppliers into Infor.

Outstanding invoices, credit memos, and payments require careful sequencing against Infor's open period setup. We map Stride invoice numbers to Infor's numbering format, preserve payment terms, discount codes, and due dates, and reconstruct open AP/AR aging as of a specified cutover date. Infor enforces that all prerequisite master data (COA, Vendors, Customers) be established before transactional records load through the Migration Utility, so we sequence this phase after master-data validation completes.

Asset records include location assignments, depreciation schedules, and accumulated depreciation balances. We extract the depreciation history table separately from the asset master, compute remaining book value, and load assets into Infor's Fixed Assets module. Stride's country-specific depreciation methods (Nigeria vs Canada tax rules) must be identified during export and mapped to Infor's supported depreciation methods, as Infor's asset depreciation engine runs on the destination's configuration rather than inheriting Stride's embedded logic.

SKU-level items with warehouse locations, reorder points, and current stock quantities map to Infor CloudSuite's Item Master. Stride's multi-location inventory typically exports as aggregated totals, losing the per-warehouse quantity dimension. We request the detailed inventory ledger with location codes and reconstruct the multi-location structure in Infor, creating a warehouse record for each Stride location and loading per-location quantities. Items where the sum of location quantities does not match the Stride aggregate are flagged for investigation before final load.

Active and terminated employee records transfer to Infor CloudSuite HCM as People records, preserving department assignments, job titles, employment status, hire dates, and termination dates. We handle active and terminated employees separately to maintain employment history for reporting. Stride's HR module structure maps to Infor HCM's organizational hierarchy, and any Stride custom fields on employee records are preserved as Infor HCM user-defined fields where supported.

Payroll runs and compensation history require row-by-row parsing of the Stride payroll export, mapping Stride deduction codes and benefit enrollment flags to equivalent categories in Infor HCM. We load compensation history as a separate historical record rather than a live payroll entry, since the destination payroll engine must be configured to run current-period payroll rather than replicate Stride's historical runs. Pay periods, gross pay, net pay, and deduction amounts transfer as compensation records with an effective date for each pay run.

Project records with status, assignees, milestones, task hierarchies, billable rates, and project budgets transfer as Infor CloudSuite Project Management records. Custom fields on Stride projects map to Infor's custom properties, and we preserve billable rate schedules and project budget allocations during load. Infor's project billing integration to financials requires configuration to connect the project module to the Accounts Receivable and Revenue recognition structures.

Purchase Requests are an add-on module in Stride and may not exist on Basic tier accounts. We scope this object against the customer's active module list before including it in the export request. Where Stride Purchase Requests exist, we map approval workflows and line items to Infor CloudSuite's Requisition and Purchase Order schema, preserving approval routing and budget codes. Infor enforces sequential master data entry, so the COA, Vendors, and Item Masters must be loaded before PO records can be imported.

Document Management System attachments in Stride are file-level exports that we associate with their parent object (Project, Customer, Vendor, Employee) in Infor CloudSuite. File naming conventions vary by use case in Stride, so we reconstruct the folder structure during import and attach files to the corresponding Infor records using Infor OS Document Management. PDF, Office, and image formats are supported; any proprietary Stride-specific document formats are flagged for manual conversion.

Ticket records including status, assignee, customer association, conversation history, and resolution notes map to Infor CloudSuite's Case object. SLA configuration embedded in Stride tickets does not transfer and must be re-established in Infor Service Management post-migration. Open tickets at the time of migration are loaded as Cases with the original Stride ticket number preserved in a custom field for audit continuity.
