Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts
lossyVault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Account
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier / Vendor
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Product
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Payable / Voucher
1:1Open 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Accounts Receivable / Invoice
1:1Open 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Purchase 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee / Worker
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Time Registration / Labor Posting
1:1Vault-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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management / Content
1:1Document 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Fields (Infor OS)
lossyVault-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
Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
