Overview
Success ERP and Acumatica occupy different positions in the ERP landscape. Success ERP typically serves small-to-mid-market companies with modular ERP needs, often deployed on-premises or in hosted environments with per-user licensing. Acumatica positions itself as a cloud-native platform with unlimited user access and resource-based pricing, serving companies from $2M to $500M+ in revenue across manufacturing, distribution, and services verticals. The migration carries all standard ERP objects — customers, vendors, GL accounts, inventory items, sales orders, purchase orders, and invoices — into Acumatica's chart-of-accounts structure, subledger posting model, and inventory management configuration. Custom fields on any source entity map to Acumatica's Usr-prefixed custom fields using the Customization Manager. The migration uses Acumatica's import/export framework and web services endpoints to load data, with API-based extraction from Success ERP where available. Workflows, approval routing, and automation logic cannot migrate and must be rebuilt in Acumatica's workflow engine post-migration. We surface the full mapping plan before any data moves so your Acumatica administrator can pre-configure the schema.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Success ERP object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Success ERP
Customer
Acumatica
Customer (AR303000)
1:1Success ERP customer records map directly to Acumatica Customer screen. Fields including customer ID, name, class, status, payment terms, and credit limit transfer. Acumatica Customer Class defines default payment terms and GL accounts for AR — your setup must create matching classes before customer migration runs.
Success ERP
Vendor
Acumatica
Vendor (AP303000)
1:1Vendor master records migrate to Acumatica Vendor screen. Remit-to address, payment method, and tax ID fields map directly. Acumatica Vendor Class controls default terms and AP account assignment — pre-create vendor classes matching Success ERP vendor categories before migration for smooth data loading.
Success ERP
GL Account
Acumatica
Chart of Accounts (GL202500)
1:1GL account numbers and descriptions migrate to the Acumatica Chart of Accounts. Account type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense), active/inactive status, and posting settings transfer. Acumatica requires subaccount segments if your chart uses dimension coding — define segment structure before account migration.
Success ERP
Inventory Item
Acumatica
Inventory Item (IN202500)
1:1Item IDs, descriptions, item class, unit of measure, and cost layers migrate to Acumatica Inventory. Stock vs. non-stock designation maps directly. Acumatica Item Class defines default posting accounts and warehouse settings — create matching item classes before inventory data moves.
Success ERP
Sales Order
Acumatica
Sales Order (SO301000)
1:1Open and historical sales orders migrate to Acumatica Sales Orders. Order number, customer reference, line items, quantities, prices, and warehouse assignments transfer. Fulfilled lines and invoice links preserve the original order-to-invoice relationship. Order types map to Acumatica order types which control warehouse and posting behavior.
Success ERP
Purchase Order
Acumatica
Purchase Order (PO303000)
1:1Open purchase orders migrate to Acumatica Purchase Orders. Vendor reference, line items, expected delivery dates, and drop-ship flags transfer. Historical POs can be migrated as completed records if audit trail is required. Receipts and bills linked to POs must be migrated in dependency order so links resolve correctly.
Success ERP
AR Invoice
Acumatica
Invoice (AR301000)
1:1Accounts receivable invoices migrate to Acumatica with original document dates, invoice numbers, line items, tax amounts, and payment status. Open invoices create AR documents awaiting payment; paid invoices migrate as completed records. Customer and invoice-level notes attach as document details in Acumatica.
Success ERP
AP Invoice
Acumatica
Bill (AP301000)
1:1Accounts payable bills migrate to Acumatica Bills screen with vendor reference, invoice number, invoice date, line items, and tax. Open bills create AP documents awaiting payment; paid bills migrate as completed records with payment reference. Hold and pending approval statuses map to Acumatica's bill status field.
Success ERP
Payment (AR)
Acumatica
Payment (AR302000)
1:1Customer payments migrate to Acumatica Payments and Applications screen. Payment date, amount, reference number, and applied invoice links transfer. Overpayments and underpayments retain original amounts and application status so AR aging reports in Acumatica match source records at cutover. This ensures accurate cash forecasting and credit limit monitoring post-migration.
Success ERP
Payment (AP)
Acumatica
Check / Payment (AP302000)
1:1Vendor payments migrate to Acumatica Checks and Payments screen with payment date, amount, vendor reference, and applied bill links. Payment method (check, EFT, wire) transfers as the payment method on the Acumatica record. Prepayments and credit memos retain their type in Acumatica's payment document model.
Success ERP
Item Warehouse
Acumatica
Warehouse (IN204000)
1:1Warehouse locations migrate to Acumatica Warehouses screen. Address, default location, and status transfer. If Success ERP tracks item-warehouse quantities, those records migrate as Inventory Receipts or Availability records in Acumatica so on-hand quantities reflect source balances at cutover. Your administrator should verify warehouse code mapping before loading.
Success ERP
Salesperson / Commission
Acumatica
Salesperson (AR202000)
1:1Salesperson records migrate to Acumatica Salespersons. Commission rates and territory assignments transfer as salesperson attributes. Commission calculations in Acumatica are tied to sales orders and invoices — your administrator must enable commission tracking in the Sales Order Preferences screen before salesperson data is used in document migration.
Success ERP
Tax Zone / Tax Category
Acumatica
Tax Zone / Tax Category (TX205000, TX206000)
1:1Tax zones and tax categories from Success ERP map to Acumatica Tax Zones and Tax Categories. Each tax ID in Success ERP becomes a Tax Agency in Acumatica with corresponding tax rates. If Success ERP uses AvaTax or a third-party tax engine, Acumatica's external tax integration must be configured separately post-migration.
Success ERP
Custom Field (Entity)
Acumatica
Custom Field (Usr prefix via Customization Manager)
1:1Custom fields on customers, vendors, inventory items, or GL accounts in Success ERP migrate to Acumatica as Usr-prefixed custom fields. Your Acumatica administrator must create each custom field through the Customization Manager before migration — FlitStack provides the field creation plan specifying data type, pick-list values, and screen placement for every custom field.
Success ERP
Attachment / Document
Acumatica
File Storage (SM202520)
1:1Documents attached to customers, vendors, or transactions migrate to Acumatica File Storage. Original file names and MIME types preserve. Attachments on completed transactions require the transaction to exist first — we migrate attachments after the parent record lands in Acumatica.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Assess Success ERP export readiness and schema inventory
FlitStack audits your Success ERP environment to identify all record types, custom field definitions, transaction volumes per subledger, and available export mechanisms. We inventory every entity that will migrate — customers, vendors, GL accounts, inventory items, and transaction documents — and document the foreign key relationships between them. We also identify any records that exceed the delta pickup window (records modified during migration) so they can be flagged for re-migration at cutover. The deliverable is a migration scope document listing every object, estimated record count, and the export method we will use (API, direct database export, or CSV depending on Success ERP configuration).
Configure Acumatica schema and pre-create custom fields
Before data moves, your Acumatica administrator creates the chart of accounts structure (including subaccount segments if needed), customer classes, vendor classes, item classes, warehouse locations, payment methods, tax zones, and salespersons. FlitStack delivers the exact setup specification including screen names, field values, and any dependencies. Custom fields are created via the Customization Manager using the specification we provide. This step runs in parallel with the data audit so schema and data preparation happen simultaneously.
Resolve user and owner references by email match
Success ERP records carrying owner or user assignments (salespersons, document owners, inventory managers) are matched against Acumatica user accounts by email address. Unmatched users are flagged with the specific record and owner name so your team can either invite them to Acumatica or reassign records to a fallback user before migration. No record lands in Acumatica without a resolved owner — orphaned records are held in a staging queue until resolution.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records migrates first — typically 100–500 records across customers, vendors, inventory, and a sample of each transaction type. We generate a field-level diff comparing source and destination values so you can verify that account codes, document numbers, dates, amounts, and custom field data landed correctly. Sample migration validates the load sequence, foreign key resolution, and custom field mapping before the full migration commits any records. You approve the sample diff before the full run begins.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration runs against Acumatica using the validated load sequence and field mappings. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Success ERP during the cutover so Acumatica reflects the final state at go-live. Every operation is logged in FlitStack's audit trail — record count per entity, error count, and retry count. One-click rollback reverts the Acumatica instance to the pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. After rollback confirmation, you can restart the full migration with corrected mappings.
