Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wiise to Infor CloudSuite is a structural migration across two very different ERP architectures. Wiise is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and targets Australian and New Zealand mid-market companies with a single-subscription multi-entity model and a dimensional Chart of Accounts using cost-centre, department, and location tags. Infor CloudSuite is a Koch Industries-owned, AWS-hosted enterprise platform with industry-specific editions and a different dimensional modelling approach that requires explicit mapping of every Wiise posting dimension to an Infor dimension set. We handle the entity split during scoping so each Wiise legal entity becomes a distinct CloudSuite tenant unit, preserve decimal precision limitations in custom field mapping, and use Infor's migration database approach rather than a direct API-to-API transfer. Documents and attachments have no reliable API path out of Wiise and require manual pre-cutover export. We do not migrate Business Central workflows, automations, or approval chains as code.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Wiise logo

Wiise

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep initial learning curve causes data-entry mistakes that require effort to correct once users become familiar with the system, cited in a Capterra review of a user who switched from MYOB.
  • Low ease-of-use rating (3.7 on Capterra) reflects frustration with navigation and workflow complexity for non-technical users managing day-to-day operations.
  • Limited review volume makes independent assessment difficult — with only 6 verified reviews on major platforms, prospective customers have sparse peer feedback to rely on.
  • Negative review citing poor customer service (2.0 rating, December 2022) indicates support quality can fall below expectations during critical periods, though specifics of the issue are not documented.

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 Wiise objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Wiise 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.

Wiise

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer / Account

1:1
Fully supported

Wiise Customer master records (name, address, contact details, payment terms, credit limits) map directly to Infor CloudSuite Customer. We resolve the Customer Number and any dimensional cost-centre or location tags attached to the customer record. Custom Fields on the Customer card migrate to Infor OS custom attributes; note the 2-decimal limitation on any decimal-type custom fields in Wiise and flag precision loss during pre-flight mapping.

Wiise

Vendor

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

Wiise Vendor cards map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier. Purchase terms, currency settings, and any vendor-specific dimensional tags migrate directly. Like Customer, Custom Fields on the Vendor card carry the 2-decimal precision limitation for any decimal values and are flagged in the mapping report before import.

Wiise

Item

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item / Stock Item

1:1
Fully supported

Wiise Items (stock items, non-stock items, and services) map to Infor Item master with unit cost, inventory posting groups, and warehouse location assignments. Item-specific custom fields are subject to the same 2-decimal precision rounding as Customer and Vendor custom fields. We confirm the destination warehouse locations exist in Infor before importing item-location quantity records.

Wiise

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

General Ledger Account

1:1
Mapping required

Wiise uses a dimensional Chart of Accounts with cost-centre, department, and location tags attached to every posting. Account codes and names migrate directly, but dimensional assignments require explicit field-level mapping to Infor dimension sets. We audit the Wiise dimensional usage before mapping, flag any dimensions used across entities that may need clarification on entity ownership, and configure Infor dimension sets before any transaction import begins.

Wiise

Open AP / Open AR

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Open AP / Open AR / Invoice Header

1:1
Mapping required

Outstanding purchase invoices and sales invoices migrate as open records preserving invoice date, due date, remaining amount, and currency. We capture full invoice line history on request but note that the most recent trial balance should be captured as an opening balance reference point in Infor. Dimensional tags on open transaction lines require the same dimension-set mapping as the Chart of Accounts.

Wiise

Fixed Asset

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Asset

1:1
Fully supported

Fixed Asset records (acquisition date, cost, depreciation method, book value, location) migrate directly. We preserve depreciation schedules as-is and flag any assets still under depreciation at the migration date so that Infor's depreciation run picks up from the correct book value. Fixed Asset location maps to an Infor dimension or site code.

Wiise

Jobs / Projects

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Project / Job

1:1
Fully supported

Wiise Jobs support task-level work breakdown, resource assignments, and billing. We map Job headers and tasks directly. Job-specific dimensional tags migrate as custom fields in Infor to avoid schema conflicts where the destination Project module uses a different dimensional framework. Resource assignments require the corresponding Infor work centre or cost pool to exist before import.

Wiise

Employees

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Employee records (name, position, department, employment status, HR metadata) migrate for both active and terminated employees. Effectivity dates and employment status map to Infor's date-effective HR structure, which may require field-level adjustment depending on the Infor HCM edition in use. We scope employee records as a distinct migration workstream and recommend HR team sign-off before import.

Wiise

Payroll Records

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Payroll / Pay Run

1:1
Mapping required

Wiise Payroll is a priced add-on per active employee with schema tightly coupled to Australian and New Zealand compliance requirements. Pay runs, superannuation contributions, and leave balances require explicit migration as a separate data set from core employee records. We scope payroll as its own workstream, flag any fields that cannot map directly to the destination HR or payroll system, and recommend finance and HR joint sign-off before any payroll data loads.

Wiise

Manufacturing / BOM / Routing

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Bill of Materials / Routing / Production Order

1:1
Fully supported

Bill of Materials, production orders, and routing headers are standard objects available on Wiise Premium. We map BOM line items, quantities per assembly, and routing work-centre assignments directly. Material costs carry the same 2-decimal rounding limitation as Item custom fields. We confirm the Infor work-centre and operation sequence codes exist before importing routing data, and flag any BOMs with linked dimensional tags for separate dimensional mapping.

Wiise

Documents / Attachments

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Infor Document Management / ION Inbox

1:1
Not supported

Wiise does not expose a public API endpoint for document and attachment retrieval. Binary files (invoices, purchase orders, images) cannot be extracted programmatically. We scope document export as a manual pre-cutover step using Wiise's built-in export function, and we deliver a document-to-record mapping spreadsheet so that each file can be reattached manually to the corresponding Infor Customer, Supplier, or Transaction record post-migration. This manual step must be priced and scoped separately.

Wiise

Multi-Company / Intercompany Entities

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Multiple Tenants / Intercompany Trading

1:many
Mapping required

Wiise's single-subscription multi-entity model means all company entities share a database but are logically separate. We export each entity's books as a separate company unit and include intercompany balancing entries. In Infor CloudSuite, each entity becomes its own tenant with intercompany trading configured through ION or Infor OS workflows. We scope each entity as a distinct migration unit and resolve intercompany entry dimensional tags across entity boundaries before import.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Wiise custom decimal fields cap at 2 decimal places

    Wiise limits custom decimal fields to exactly 2 decimal places. Any values stored with higher precision in Wiise (such as exchange rates or unit costs stored as 4 decimal places) are rounded to 2 decimal places during import into Infor CloudSuite. We flag every instance of this rounding in the pre-flight mapping report so the customer can decide whether to accept the precision loss, store the value as plain text in Infor, or enter it manually post-migration. This is a data quality decision that requires finance team sign-off and should not be discovered after production import.

  • No public API for document attachments in Wiise

    Wiise does not expose a documented API endpoint for retrieving attached documents (invoices, purchase orders, scanned files) from within the Business Central infrastructure. Binary attachments cannot be extracted via API during migration. We ask customers to use Wiise's built-in export function to download documents manually before the cutover date, and we deliver a document-to-record mapping spreadsheet for reattachment in Infor CloudSuite Document Management or ION Inbox. Failing to account for this means documents disappear from the new system at go-live. This manual export step must be scoped and priced as a separate workstream.

  • Wiise dimensional tagging requires explicit mapping to Infor dimension sets

    Every Wiise posting carries cost-centre, department, and location dimensional tags that do not map automatically to Infor CloudSuite's configurable dimension sets. Infor requires dimension sets to be explicitly defined and assigned to transactions. We audit dimensional usage across all Wiise entities during scoping, define Infor dimension sets before any transaction import, and flag any dimensional tags that cannot find a direct equivalent in the destination. Dimension mismatches that reach production result in postings without cost attribution.

  • Multi-company scoping must be declared before extraction begins

    Wiise's single-subscription multi-entity model means all company entities share a database but are logically separate. We must declare which entities are in scope before extraction begins. Adding an entity after the migration run has started requires a separate extraction pass and may result in partial or inconsistent data for that entity. We request a complete entity list, including any dormant or intercompany-only entities, during the discovery call. Any entity added mid-migration incurs an additional extraction pass at extra cost.

  • Infor uses a migration database approach distinct from API-to-API transfer

    Infor CloudSuite's documented external data migration path routes data through a dedicated migration database before copying into the production database, with a Data Assessment Report generated at each import step. This is a different architecture from a direct API-to-API extraction from Wiise and requires Infor-specific target table definitions and import parameter configuration. We build and validate the Infor migration database schema before any data moves, and we use Infor's import sequences to manage record dependency order (accounts before customers, customers before transactions) rather than loading directly into live tables.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wiise to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and migration scoping

    We audit the source Wiise tenant across subscription tier (Business or Premium), entity count, total Customer and Vendor record counts, Item volumes including multi-warehouse item-location quantities, open AP/AR age and volume, Fixed Asset depreciation schedules, active Jobs and their task structures, and whether the Payroll add-on is in scope. We also extract Wiise's dimensional tagging usage report to understand which cost-centre, department, and location dimensions are actively used across entities. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, entity list, dimensional audit summary, custom field inventory, and a migration database design proposal for Infor CloudSuite.

  2. Destination schema design in Infor CloudSuite

    We design the Infor CloudSuite destination schema before any data moves. This includes defining the Chart of Accounts with Infor dimension sets mapped to Wiise dimensional tags (cost-centre, department, location), configuring Customer and Supplier number sequences and address structures, setting up warehouse and location codes, defining Fixed Asset depreciation books, and configuring the Infor Project module structure for Jobs. For Payroll, we design a separate HR data import schema aligned with the destination HCM edition. Schema is validated in an Infor staging or development environment before production.

  3. Data extraction from Wiise and staging

    We extract full data from Wiise using Business Central APIs and the Wiise data export functions, scoped to the declared entity list. We run the extraction entity by entity, capture the most recent trial balance as an opening balance reference, extract all active and historical custom field values across all 15 Wiise page types, and prepare the intercompany entry set. We flag any decimal values in custom fields that will be rounded due to Wiise's 2-decimal limitation and present this list to the customer before staging. Documents are staged separately for manual export.

  4. Infor migration database setup and sequence configuration

    We configure the Infor CloudSuite migration database per Infor's documented approach: creating the migration database, defining import target tables mapped to CloudSuite schemas, specifying import parameters, and configuring import sequences that manage record dependency order. We generate a Data Assessment Report for each sequence before running any data transfer, review any transformation rules flagged by the report, and resolve format inconsistencies between Wiise and Infor field types before proceeding to actual data transfer.

  5. Migration execution in dependency order

    We execute migration in record-dependency order with a reconciliation report at each phase. Phase 1: master data (Chart of Accounts with dimensions, Customers, Suppliers, Items with item-location quantities). Phase 2: open AP and AR with dimensional tags resolved. Phase 3: Fixed Assets with depreciation schedules. Phase 4: Jobs and Project data with task-level work breakdown. Phase 5: Employees and Payroll (separate workstream, requires HR sign-off). Phase 6: Manufacturing BOMs and routing data for Premium tier customers. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Dimensional tagging discrepancies are flagged and resolved in real time.

  6. Document export and manual reattachment planning

    Because Wiise has no public API for binary attachments, we scope a manual document export step using Wiise's built-in export function. We deliver a document-to-record mapping spreadsheet that pairs each exported file with the corresponding migrated Infor record (Customer, Supplier, Transaction). The customer's team executes the manual reattachment in Infor CloudSuite Document Management or ION Inbox post-go-live. This step is priced separately from the API-driven migration scope and must be completed before the cutover freeze window to avoid documents being unavailable at go-live.

  7. Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze writes in Wiise at cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver a full reconciliation report covering record counts, opening balances, and dimensional tagging coverage. We deliver a written inventory of every Wiise workflow, approval chain, and automation with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Infor OS equivalent so the customer's admin team can rebuild these post-migration. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wiise workflows as Infor ION workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Data migration alone typically takes 6-12 weeks for a single-entity, core-module scope (Customers, Vendors, Items, Chart of Accounts, open AP/AR, Fixed Assets, and Employees). Multi-entity migrations, high-volume inventory (over 100,000 item-location records), payroll history, or manufacturing BOM/routing data extend this to 12-18 weeks. It is important to understand that data migration is one workstream within a broader Infor CloudSuite implementation that also includes system configuration, integration setup, testing, and training. Full Infor CloudSuite implementations for single-site deployments typically run 9-12 months, and multi-site or international deployments extend to 15-24 months.
