Overview
Migrating from Success ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a ground-up data reconstruction, not a straightforward record copy. Success ERP publishes no public API documentation, endpoint reference, or developer portal, so every migration begins with a customer-facilitated export audit to identify what data is accessible through the platform UI and any proprietary vendor tools. We work with the flat customer, vendor, and item master tables that can be exported row-by-row, preserve the Indian accounting chart of accounts hierarchy, and map GST-compliant invoice data into Infor's Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable structures. We flag custom fields, attachment storage, and any GSTIN validation requirements that require manual intervention before import. Workflows, automations, and custom report definitions do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for your Infor implementation team to rebuild against the CloudSuite's Infor OS platform.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Success 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.
Success ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1Success ERP customer records with flat table structure map to Infor Business Partner with PartnerType = Customer. We map customer name, primary contact details, GSTIN (preserved as Tax ID with Indian format validation), billing address, and PAN where present. Credit limits and payment terms require manual confirmation against the export because Success ERP sometimes stores these as partner-specific settings rather than fields on the customer record. The GSTIN is validated for 15-character format before insert into Infor's tax registration field.
Success ERP
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1Success ERP vendor master data follows a similar flat structure to customer records. We map vendor name, PAN/TAN, contact information, and payment terms. Bank account details for vendor payments must be confirmed as included in the export; if the export omits these fields (common in Success ERP configurations), we add them to the manual reconciliation checklist before the Accounts Payable import phase begins.
Success ERP
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account Master
1:1The Indian accounting chart of accounts exported from Success ERP maps directly to Infor GL Account Master with account codes, names, and group assignments preserved. The full hierarchy and group mappings reconstruct the account structure in Infor's general ledger. We flag any accounts with Indian-specific group codes (such as TDS, TCS, or GST-related ledger groups) and confirm their mapping to Infor's tax accounting structure before insert.
Success ERP
Sales Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice
1:1Sales invoices from Success ERP map to Infor Accounts Receivable Invoice with GST amount, HSN codes, and tax breakdown preserved in the invoice distribution lines. Each line item links to the item master and the customer Business Partner. We flag invoices with missing GST details for customer review before import; Infor requires complete tax configuration for Indian statutory reporting through the GST Returns module.
Success ERP
Purchase Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice
1:1Purchase invoices map to Infor Accounts Payable Invoice with the vendor Business Partner reference, GST input tax amounts, and HSN codes preserved on each distribution line. TDS deduction amounts from Success ERP map to Infor's withholding tax configuration if the export includes TDS field values.
Success ERP
Inventory Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1Item masters with stock quantities, rates, and UoM map to Infor Item Master. Serial number tracking and batch information transfer only if the Success ERP export includes those fields, which varies by implementation. We add a pre-migration checklist item to confirm whether serial and batch exports are available before the inventory import phase.
Success ERP
Employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee (HR Module)
1:1Basic employee records including name, designation, department, and salary details map to Infor HCM Employee. Leave balances and payroll history require separate export files which must be explicitly requested from the Success ERP implementation partner before migration. We do not assume these files are available in the standard export set.
Success ERP
Custom Fields (undocumented)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Fields
lossyCustom fields added by the Success ERP implementation partner are not documented in any public schema and cannot be detected programmatically. We instruct customers to audit their report exports for any columns they do not recognise and provide a complete field list before migration kickoff. We then create equivalent custom fields in Infor OS before data load. This is flagged as HIGH risk because missing custom fields can mean losing business-critical data with no recovery path.
Success ERP
Attachments
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Document Management (IDM)
1:1Document attachments such as invoices, receipts, and contracts stored within Success ERP are not accessible via documented export mechanisms. Customers must separately extract attachments from the platform or request their implementation partner to extract the file store. We include a manual document checklist and timestamp each extracted file so that documents can be linked to the migrated transaction records in Infor IDM after cutover.
Success ERP
Tax Configuration (GST)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Tax Setup
lossySuccess ERP's GST configuration maps to Infor's tax setup including GST registration numbers, tax codes, and GST return filing parameters. We preserve the GSTIN on each Business Partner, the HSN code mapping on items, and the tax rate structure for CGST, SGST, IGST, and cess where applicable. Indian GST compliance reporting depends on this configuration being complete before the first invoice is created in Infor.
Success ERP
Payment Terms
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Terms of Payment
1:1Payment terms defined in Success ERP (such as Net 30, Net 45, or advance payment) map to Infor Terms of Payment master data. Each Customer and Vendor Business Partner references a Terms of Payment code that we load before the partner import so that the relationship is satisfied at the moment of insert.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Success ERP gotchas
No public API documentation
Custom fields are invisible to outsiders
Attachment and document storage not accessible
Data ownership and export rights unclear
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export audit
We begin every Success ERP migration with a structured export audit facilitated by the customer. Because there is no API to query, we ask the customer to export every standard report available in the platform UI: customer listing, vendor listing, chart of accounts, sales invoices, purchase invoices, inventory item list, and employee records. We review the column headers in each export to identify any undocumented fields that may contain custom data. This audit typically takes one to two weeks and must be completed before we can produce a firm migration scope.
Infor edition identification and schema design
We confirm which Infor CloudSuite edition the customer is implementing and obtain the corresponding Infor documentation (Database Schema Report, DataMap Schema-Properties spreadsheet, or CSI migration guide). We design the destination schema including Business Partner types, GL account hierarchy, item master structure, and tax configuration. We deploy a preliminary version into a non-production Infor environment to validate that the imported data renders correctly in the CloudSuite forms before production migration begins.
Custom field reconciliation and schema extension
Using the column audit from Step 1, we identify any custom fields in the Success ERP exports that are not part of the standard schema. For each custom field, we ask the customer to confirm its purpose and data type, then create a corresponding custom field in Infor OS before data load. This step is critical and cannot be skipped; without it, custom field data is lost at migration time.
Attachment extraction planning
We work with the customer to plan the manual extraction of document attachments. We provide a checklist of the document types to extract (invoices, receipts, contracts, employee documents), a naming convention that maps each file to the corresponding transaction or record ID, and a timestamp template for each file. The customer or their Success ERP implementation partner performs the extraction in parallel with the data migration preparation.
Data load in dependency order
We load data into Infor CloudSuite in strict dependency order: GL Account hierarchy first (no dependencies), then Business Partners (Customers and Vendors with Terms of Payment resolved), then Item Master, then Invoice Transactions, then Employee records, then custom fields. Each phase produces a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Infor's documented migration database tools (for SyteLine/CSI) or the ION API (for LN and M3) depending on the CloudSuite edition.
Cutover, validation, and attachment linking
We freeze Success 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 link the extracted document attachments to the corresponding transaction records in Infor IDM using the naming convention established in Step 4. We deliver a written inventory of all Success ERP automations, custom reports, and workflow configurations that require rebuild in Infor OS or by the Infor implementation partner.
