Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Vault-ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a cross-architecture ERP migration with two compounding challenges: Vault-ERP instances have no two identical schemas because the platform lets users reshape forms and fields to match their own processes, and Vault-ERP does not publish a public API, meaning extraction pathways must be scoped individually per tenant. We resolve both by running a pre-migration schema discovery pass that enumerates every custom field in the source, then sequencing the load in ERP dependency order (accounts, customers/vendors, items, open AP/AR, then orders) so that foreign-key references are satisfied at insert time. Infor CloudSuite ships its own Migration Utility (requires SQL Server 2008+ source database) which we use for the final validation and copy into the initialized CloudSuite database. Effective-dated employee history, transaction windows, and file attachment checksums are handled as separate migration workstreams because they require destination-specific configuration in Infor CloudSuite. Workflows, automations, and custom report definitions do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild using Infor OS or the Infor ION integration layer.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Vault-ERP logo

Vault-ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Lack of transparent public pricing makes it difficult for prospective customers to budget; many leave before committing when they cannot get clear per-seat or per-module costs upfront.
  • The small team size and limited public documentation create uncertainty about long-term product support and roadmap stability, causing risk-averse buyers to choose more established ERPs.
  • Businesses with highly specialized industry workflows find the customization options insufficient once they scale beyond standard ERP patterns, leading them to platforms with deeper vertical features.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Vault-ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Vault-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.

Vault-ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Chart of Accounts

lossy
Mapping required

Vault-ERP allows tailored forms and fields per instance, so account hierarchies vary between tenants. We extract the full account hierarchy via the NetSuite API and map it to the Infor CloudSuite chart of accounts, flagging any custom account types that require Infor OS custom field configuration. Multi-subsidiary account structures in Vault-ERP Enterprise map to Infor's legal entity hierarchy, which must be configured in CloudSuite before account load because entity assignment is a parent-record dependency.

Vault-ERP

Customers

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer / Account

1:1
Fully supported

Vault-ERP Customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Customer records (for B2C) or Business Partner records (for B2B). Contact details, billing and shipping addresses, credit limits, and payment terms migrate 1:1 with value mapping applied for any custom classification fields added per business process. Customer is loaded after the Chart of Accounts because the AR account reference is a foreign key in Infor CloudSuite.

Vault-ERP

Vendors

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier / Vendor

1:1
Fully supported

Vault-ERP Vendor records map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier records. Tax identification numbers, payment terms, and bank account details migrate directly. Custom vendor classification fields require per-instance mapping against Infor's vendor type and category schema. Vendor is loaded in the same phase as Customer, before any AP record imports.

Vault-ERP

Items

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item / Product

1:1
Fully supported

Vault-ERP Item records (inventory, non-inventory, service, and assembly/BOM types) map to Infor CloudSuite Item master. We preserve item type, unit of measure, pricing, BOM structure, and costing method. Custom item fields added per business process require per-instance mapping against Infor's extensible item schema. Item must be loaded before any Sales Order, Purchase Order, or inventory transaction because item references are validated at insert time in Infor CloudSuite.

Vault-ERP

Open AP

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Accounts Payable / Voucher

1:1
Fully supported

Open payable records from Vault-ERP carry outstanding balances, payment terms, due dates, and vendor invoice references. We map these to Infor CloudSuite voucher records, preserving the vendor lookup, invoice number, and amount. Currency and subsidiary mappings are applied where Vault-ERP operates multi-currency or multi-entity. Open AP is loaded after Vendor records are validated in the destination.

Vault-ERP

Open AR

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Accounts Receivable / Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Open receivable records migrate to Infor CloudSuite AR invoice records with customer lookup, invoice number, amount due, and payment terms preserved. Currency and subsidiary metadata are mapped from Vault-ERP fields. Open AR load is sequenced after Customer records are confirmed in the destination database.

Vault-ERP

Sales Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Vault-ERP Sales Order records reference customers, items, pricing, quantities, and fulfillment status. We extract the underlying transaction data and remap it to Infor CloudSuite's order structure, applying warehouse and shipping configuration from the destination. Vault-ERP's custom form logic means order layouts vary; we handle this during schema discovery and apply order-type mapping per record during the transform phase.

Vault-ERP

Purchase Orders

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Purchase Order records map to Infor CloudSuite PO records with vendor lookup, item lines, quantities, and delivery dates preserved. Approval workflows in Vault-ERP (custom form logic) do not migrate; we deliver a written map of active approval rules for the Infor administrator to configure in Infor OS Workflow. PO load is sequenced after Vendor and Item records are confirmed.

Vault-ERP

Employees

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee / Worker

1:1
Fully supported

Vault-ERP Employee records map to Infor CloudSuite Worker records with profile data, job titles, department assignments, and employment status. Vault-ERP stores effective-dated changes for compensation, job titles, and department reassignments as separate dated records. We extract the full effective-dated change log and load it into Infor CloudSuite as a sequence of dated employment events, preserving audit continuity rather than importing only the latest snapshot.

Vault-ERP

Time Tracking Entries

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Time Registration / Labor Posting

1:1
Mapping required

Vault-ERP time tracking records (billable and non-billable hours linked to projects or employees) map to Infor CloudSuite time registration entries. We extract raw hour and project associations and remap them to the destination's cost center and project structure. Billable flag, project reference, and labor category migrate as custom fields where Infor CloudSuite's standard time schema does not include these classifications.

Vault-ERP

Documents and Attachments

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Document Management / Content

1:1
Mapping required

Document storage in Vault-ERP uses the platform's file management layer. We export file references, metadata, and binary content alongside associated records (Customer, Vendor, Order, Employee). We verify every migrated document by checksum comparison after transfer and flag any attachment where the source and destination hashes do not match. Infor CloudSuite's document management replaces Vault-ERP file storage; we map to Infor's document attach model on the corresponding entity.

Vault-ERP

Custom Fields and Custom Forms

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Custom Fields (Infor OS)

lossy
Fully supported

Vault-ERP's custom fields and modified standard fields are instance-specific and not universally portable. We inventory every custom field during the schema discovery pass, classify each by data type and entity attachment, and map them to Infor CloudSuite custom fields via Infor OS configuration. Fields without a destination equivalent are documented in the migration inventory with a recommendation for manual entry or Infor OS custom field creation. Custom Objects themselves do not migrate (Vault-ERP marks custom objects as unsupported).

Pair-specific challenges

  • Vault-ERP has no public API, so extraction pathway must be scoped individually

    Vault-ERP does not publish an API reference and the Crozdesk profile explicitly confirms no API availability. This means extraction cannot rely on a documented REST or Bulk endpoint and must be scoped per tenant during discovery. We assess whether Vault-ERP exposes a direct database export (NetSuite backend), a CSV export mechanism, or an intermediate integration endpoint before committing to a migration timeline. If extraction requires custom development on the Vault-ERP side, that work is outside standard migration scope and must be scoped as a pre-migration preparation task.

  • Every Vault-ERP instance has a unique schema due to custom form flexibility

    Vault-ERP's core product promise is that users reshape forms and fields to match their own processes. This means no two Vault-ERP deployments have identical schemas. Custom fields, modified standard fields, and custom objects must be inventoried before migration scoping begins. We run a pre-migration schema discovery pass that enumerates every custom field in the source instance and produces a field map before any data is touched. This step adds time to scoping but prevents the silent field-mismatch failures that occur when generic migration tools assume a standard schema.

  • ERP table foreign-key dependencies require strict load-order sequencing

    Vault-ERP stores ERP records with foreign-key dependencies: an invoice references a customer and an item; a purchase order references a vendor and a price list. Loading records out of order breaks these links silently. We sequence all ERP migrations in dependency order: Chart of Accounts first, then Customers and Vendors, then Items, then Open AP/AR, then Orders. Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility enforces some of this sequencing via its predefined import steps, but custom-form fields in Vault-ERP can introduce non-standard references that require manual load-order adjustment.

  • File attachment integrity is not guaranteed across migrations

    Autodesk Vault community posts document that file migration can result in corrupt data and silent data loss when file store servers and database servers are not migrated together atomically. While Vault-ERP is a separate NetSuite-based product, the underlying file attachment pattern poses the same risk. We verify every migrated document by MD5 or SHA-256 checksum comparison after transfer and flag any attachment where the source and destination hashes do not match for manual re-attachment.

  • Effective-dated HR history must be preserved as multi-record sequences

    Vault-ERP Employee records can include compensation changes, job title transitions, and department reassignments effective on specific dates. Importing only the latest record discards this history, which is required for payroll audit trails and HR compliance. We extract the full effective-dated change log for each employee and load it into Infor CloudSuite as a sequence of dated Worker Employment records, preserving the effective-date ordering that payroll and HR auditors expect.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Vault-ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Schema discovery and extraction pathway scoping

    We audit the Vault-ERP instance for custom fields, custom objects, modified standard fields, active forms, and any NetSuite backend access that enables direct SQL export. We inventory every custom field by entity attachment and data type, producing a field map before any data is touched. We also assess the transaction window scope (typically the last 12-24 months of closed transactions plus all open records) and determine whether Vault-ERP extraction will use a direct database export, CSV export, or API-based endpoint. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a custom-field inventory, and a record-count estimate by entity.

  2. Destination schema configuration in Infor CloudSuite

    We configure the Infor CloudSuite target environment before any data loads. This includes setting up the Chart of Accounts hierarchy, Business Partner (Customer/Supplier) structure, Item master with BOM configurations, warehouse and location setup, HR organizational structure, and any Infor OS custom fields required to receive Vault-ERP custom field values. Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility requires an initialized database; we configure this in coordination with the customer's Infor implementation partner or Infor PS. We deploy schema changes to a non-production environment first for validation.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite non-production environment using production-like data volume. The customer's operations and finance leads reconcile record counts (Customers in, Vendors in, Items in, Open AP/AR in, Orders in, Employees in), spot-check 25-50 records against the Vault-ERP source, and validate the account hierarchy and HR organizational structure in the destination. Any mapping corrections, missing foreign-key references, or custom field gaps are resolved here. No production data moves until sandbox sign-off is received.

  4. ERP load-order migration in dependency sequence

    We execute production migration in strict dependency order: Chart of Accounts first (establishes the ledger backbone), then Customers and Vendors (AR/AP account references resolved), then Items and BOM structures (order line references resolved), then Open AP and AR (vendor and customer references resolved), then Sales Orders and Purchase Orders (all parent records confirmed), then Employees with effective-dated history, then Time Tracking entries. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and checksum summary before the next phase begins. We use Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility where applicable and direct API or SQL load for custom fields not covered by preconfigured mappings.

  5. File attachment verification and delta migration

    We migrate document attachments and file references with checksum verification. Any attachment where source and destination hashes do not match is flagged for manual re-attachment in Infor CloudSuite. After the initial migration window, we run a delta scan to capture any records modified in Vault-ERP during the migration window and apply the delta as a final incremental load before cutover.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Vault-ERP writes during cutover, run the final delta migration, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every Vault-ERP custom field without a destination equivalent, every active custom form layout, and every automated approval or notification rule that the customer's Infor administrator must rebuild using Infor OS Workflow or ION. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Vault-ERP automations or custom reports inside the migration scope; those are separate engagements.

Most migrations land between four and eight weeks for straightforward scopes with fewer than 50,000 customer/vendor records, clean account hierarchies, and no extensive custom field inventories. Migrations with extensive custom-form schemas, large effective-dated employee histories, multi-record HR sequences, or file attachment verification for hundreds of documents move to ten to sixteen weeks because of schema discovery overhead, HR history sequencing, and destination validation against Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility requirements.
