Migrate from Syscom ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Syscom ERP item records (SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, pricing tiers) map to Infor CloudSuite Product. Standard fields migrate cleanly. Custom item properties identified during discovery map to Infor Mongoose custom fields on the Product table. Unit of measure conversions must be resolved explicitly if Syscom uses non-standard UoM codes not present in the Infor UoM schema.

Multi-level BOM hierarchies from Syscom ERP map to Infor CloudSuite BOM structures. We extract the full component tree with quantities, operations, and routing. Alternative BOMs and BOM versions in Syscom require pre-migration review because Infor CloudSuite BOM versioning is tied to the production module configuration. Missing a BOM level means the manufacturing recipe is incomplete at cutover.

Syscom ERP customer records (billing address, shipping address, contact details, credit limits, customer-specific pricing) map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner (Customer) object. Customer-specific pricing tiers migrate as price book entries or custom fields depending on the Infor edition in scope. We resolve the country/region codes against Infor's address schema during the transform phase.

Syscom ERP vendor records (contact information, payment terms, bank details) map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner (Vendor) object. Vendor-specific notes or custom fields identified during discovery require pre-migration review to map to Infor custom fields or the Vendor Notes section. Payment terms codes must be reconciled against Infor's standard terms list.

Syscom ERP sales order headers and lines (line-item detail, pricing, order status) map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order. Open orders are extracted with full line-level detail and preserved status for the destination to flag open versus closed. Historical closed orders may require a separate archival pass depending on the customer's reporting requirements. Order total and tax amounts migrate as calculated fields if Infor recomputes them at entry.

Syscom ERP PO headers and lines (vendor reference, expected delivery, line-item detail) map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order. PO status (open, closed, partially received) is preserved so Infor can reconcile against goods receipts. Line-level discounts from Syscom migrate to Infor's pricing structure, which may differ in decimal precision.

Syscom ERP work orders tie to BOMs and track production status, quantities, and routing sequences. We extract work order data and map to Infor CloudSuite Production Order, preserving operation sequences where they exist. Work order status (released, in progress, completed, closed) maps to Infor's production status codes. The customer must confirm the Infor production module edition in scope during discovery because routing configurations differ between CloudSuite Industrial (Syteline-based) and CloudSuite LN.

Current inventory balances from Syscom ERP are extracted at the warehouse and bin level. We handle multi-location inventory by mapping Syscom location codes to Infor warehouse codes. On-hand quantities and values migrate; historical transaction logs (inventory movements, adjustments) are flagged as a separate scope because they represent high-volume data that may exceed the migration data set if the customer only needs current state. Infor's inventory valuation method (standard cost, average cost, FIFO) must be confirmed before migration.

Syscom ERP chart of accounts (account codes, names, types, parent relationships) maps to Infor CloudSuite GL Account structure. Active versus inactive status is preserved during migration. If the destination uses a multi-segment chart of accounts (common in Infor CloudSuite Financials for multi-entity deployments), the Syscom flat account code must be parsed into segments during the transform phase. This is a required decision point before the load phase.

Syscom ERP user accounts (login credentials, roles, permissions) are extracted and mapped to Infor CloudSuite users. Roles from Syscom map to Infor role definitions, which are tied to the Infor edition and industry module scope. Permissions-level differences between the two systems are flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer's Infor administrator to resolve post-migration. Users without a matching Infor account are held in a provisioning queue until the admin creates them.

Syscom ERP custom objects and user-defined fields vary by module and customer configuration. We identify all custom fields during the discovery phase, inventory their types (text, number, date, lookup), and map them to Infor CloudSuite custom fields or extension objects via the Mongoose framework. The customer must confirm the Infor edition and module scope because Mongoose schema capabilities differ between CloudSuite editions. Custom objects that reference standard objects require those standard objects to be loaded first.
