Migrate from Tyler Enterprise ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Tyler structures its entire chart of accounts around government fund accounting with fund types (General Fund, Special Revenue Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Debt Service Fund), fund codes, and appropriation controls following GASB standards. Infor CloudSuite's segment-based chart of accounts can be configured with a Fund segment to preserve fund-level reporting. We extract Tyler's full fund hierarchy, map each fund type to an Infor account segment or custom financial dimension, and preserve the original Tyler's fund code as a custom field for audit traceability. Government audit requirements must be validated against the configured segment structure before cutover.

Tyler GL transactions, journal entries, and account balances export cleanly via Tyler's standard reports with full audit trail timestamps and user attribution. We extract historical journal detail and map Tyler's account codes (which include fund-code prefixes) to Infor account numbers, stripping the fund-code prefix and routing the fund attribution to the Infor segment or dimension. Journal entry headers and line items migrate with full source documentation reference preserved in Infor Document Management.

Tyler AP module exports vendor invoices, payment runs, and 1099 vendor records. We migrate open payables and payment history with vendor linkage intact, mapping Tyler's vendor code to Infor's supplier number and preserving 1099 classification, W-9 status, and payment terms. AP invoice header and distribution line data migrate with full GL account assignments and fund-department cost center allocations maintained via Infor's account segments.

Tyler AR transactions, customer billing records, and receipt history export from Tyler's AR module. We preserve customer-to-invoice relationships and payment applied detail, mapping Tyler's customer identifiers to Infor's party and customer account model. For government organizations collecting fees or utility payments, the customer model migrates as a billed party linked to the appropriate fund and revenue account.

Tyler budget entries are structured around appropriation periods and funding sources specific to government budgeting cycles with amendment history. We extract budget versions and amendment records, mapping Tyler's fund-budget-department hierarchy to Infor's budget register structure. Budget amounts link to the appropriate fund segment and cost-center dimension so that actuals can be compared against budget in Infor Financial Report Designer. Multi-year budget versions and amendments migrate as separate budget cycles for historical reporting.

Tyler vendor master records with 1099 classification, W-9 status, and payment terms export from the vendor file. We preserve all active and historical vendor relationships, mapping Tyler's vendor code to Infor's supplier number. Remit-to addresses and payment methods migrate to Infor's supplier address and payment term configurations. Vendors flagged as 1099 in Tyler are configured with the appropriate US tax reporting designation in Infor AP.

Tyler purchasing module exports purchase orders, requisitions, and approval workflows with vendor and line-item detail. We extract PO history with full line-item detail, including GL account assignments and fund-department cost center allocations. Approval workflow history migrates as document status records but the workflow logic itself is not migrated as code; we deliver a written map of the approval chain for the customer's admin to configure in Infor ION or the Infor purchasing workflow engine.

This is the highest-risk object mapping for school district migrations. Tyler Position Control tracks staffing authorization at the position level independent of whether an incumbent occupies the role. We extract position definitions (position number, title, FTE, salary range, funding source, department), budget amounts linked to positions, and current incumbent status. We map position records to Infor HCM Position Management and translate Tyler's position-budget linkage into either Infor compensation budget allocations against departments or Infor cost center budget allocations, depending on which Infor HCM configuration the customer's implementation partner selects.

Tyler HR data includes employee records, job classifications, organizational structure, and government-specific job titles. We extract employee records with employment status, compensation, benefits assignment, and org unit linkage. Custom fields and government-specific job title codes require field-level mapping during migration. Employee-to-position linkage migrates separately from the Position Control mapping above; we reconcile which employees are attached to which migrated position records during the data validation phase. Employee compensation migrates as pay components in Infor HCM.

Tyler maintains comprehensive transaction audit logs across all modules. We extract audit trail records to preserve the compliance documentation required by government oversight bodies. Audit records migrate as a separate read-only dataset rather than into Infor's native audit tables, since Infor's own audit architecture is tied to the Infor OS platform and not designed to receive historical audit records from external systems. We deliver the audit trail as an exported dataset with documentation linking each record to the corresponding migrated transaction.

Tyler permits user-defined custom fields across modules for government-specific data capture. We inventory all custom field definitions during scoping, classify each as a user-defined extension versus a system field that should map to an Infor standard field, and apply user-defined fields as custom properties in Infor CloudSuite. Government-specific fields like fund code references or appropriation period flags map to Infor's segment or dimension fields where applicable rather than custom properties to preserve reporting functionality.

Tyler's document management captures scanned invoices, contracts, and supporting files. We extract document references and binary attachments where accessible via Tyler's file storage, though some legacy document repositories may not be accessible through Tyler's API export paths. Migrated documents link to the corresponding Infor transaction record via Infor Document Management (IDM). We warn customers during scoping that plugin-managed or third-party document repositories require separate export access and may not appear in Tyler's own data extract.
