Overview
Moving from Xledger to Infor CloudSuite is a consolidation and re-architecture migration. Xledger's multi-entity model means intercompany journal entries reference both the source Entity and the destination Entity Subledger, and Infor CloudSuite's multi-tenant cloud does not support direct database access, requiring all data to flow through ION or the Infor Migration Utility. We extract Entities as Infor Operating Unit or Company structures, map Subledgers to Infor's financial module hierarchy, and re-create intercompany eliminations as standard journal entries with manual notation. Open AP and AR migrate as invoice-level records, not balance imports, preserving aging and payment terms in Infor's accounts payable and receivable modules. Workflows, approval chains, and Xledger's OCR templates do not migrate; we document every active configuration for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild in Infor OS. Implementation timelines for this migration typically embed within a 9-18 month CloudSuite programme, with data migration scoped to each phase rather than a single big-bang cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Xledger 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.
Xledger
Entities
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Operating Unit or Company
1:1Xledger Entities map to Infor CloudSuite Operating Units (financial consolidation level) or Companies within the Financials module, depending on the CloudSuite edition deployed. Each Xledger Entity carries its own Subledger, Chart of Accounts, and bank connections. We extract the Entity hierarchy during discovery, map it to Infor's organisational structure, and flag any Entities that are purely holding companies versus operating Entities because Infor handles these differently in consolidation reports.
Xledger
Subledgers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Financials Module Structure
1:manyXledger Subledgers (AP, AR, Banking, Project by Entity) map to Infor's AP, AR, Cash Management, and Project Accounting modules scoped to the corresponding Operating Unit. Multi-entity Subledgers shared across Entities require Infor intercompany setup that we document during discovery and configure as part of the mapping phase. Subledger type classification (AP, AR, Banking, Project) drives the Infor module assignment.
Xledger
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts
lossyXledger's Chart of Accounts varies by Entity and industry; non-profits and project-based businesses use extended account dimensions. We map each Entity's account structure to Infor's Chart of Accounts, preserving account codes, descriptions, and any active dimensions. Multi-segment account codes in Xledger (if configured) map to Infor's dimension structure or cost element hierarchy depending on the CloudSuite edition. Account mapping is validated against Infor's account type requirements before import.
Xledger
Customers and Suppliers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer and Supplier records
1:1Xledger Customer and Supplier records include address, contact, payment terms, tax codes, and Subledger references. Multi-entity customers and suppliers shared across Entities are de-duplicated by tax ID or registration number and re-linked to the appropriate Infor Operating Unit. We map payment terms from Xledger to Infor's terms codes, and tax codes to Infor's tax configuration. Customer and Supplier migration must complete before any AR or AP open item migration because those records hold lookups to the customer and supplier.
Xledger
General Ledger Journal Entries
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Transaction Records
1:1Historical journal lines in Xledger span posting date, amount, account, and optional dimensions. We map journal lines to Infor's GL entry structure, preserving multi-line distributions and intercompany postings as flagged entries. Journal entry numbering conventions from Xledger are retained in Infor's reference fields. Closed periods in Infor are opened as needed for historical imports; Infor CloudSuite requires period status to be set to Open before posting.
Xledger
Open AP and AR Balances
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP/AR Open Items
1:1Open AP and AR in Xledger are tracked via Subledgers linked to Customers and Suppliers. We extract every outstanding invoice, payment terms, aging schedule, and discount terms, and map to Infor's AP and AR open item records. Closed invoices are migrated as historical journal entries against the General Ledger. Infor's AP and AR modules require the supplier and customer master records to be loaded first, so we sequence AP/AR migration after the Customer and Supplier phase.
Xledger
Bank Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bank Account Records
1:1Bank account records in Xledger include routing details, account type, currency, and Entity assignment. We migrate bank account definitions to Infor's Cash Management module. Bank feed integrations (Xledger's built-in feeds to JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America) stop at cutover; we document the existing bank feed configuration so the customer's Infor administrator can configure equivalent feeds through Infor ION or a supported bank connectivity partner.
Xledger
Fixed Assets
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Asset Register
1:1Fixed Asset records in Xledger include acquisition date, cost, depreciation method, useful life, and Asset Register entries. We map asset definitions and current depreciation schedules to Infor's Asset Management module. Depreciation calculations are re-computed in Infor from the last depreciation run date forward using the migrated depreciation method. Assets linked to specific Infor Operating Units are assigned during import. Assets with pending disposals or revaluations are flagged for manual resolution before migration.
Xledger
Budget Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Budget Management
1:1Xledger budgets are created at the Entity level and linked to specific accounts and dimensions. Budget versions and forecast iterations are preserved. We map budget line items to Infor's budget management structure, maintaining the version hierarchy and dimension assignments. Budget migration is typically scoped to the current and next fiscal year; older versions are migrated as historical records or archived at customer preference.
Xledger
Time Entries and Expenses
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Time and Expense Records
1:1Time entries and expense records in Xledger are linked to Employees and Projects. Expense submissions include approval workflow status (which does not migrate). We migrate entry records, amounts, project assignments, and cost centre allocations to Infor's time and expense module. Expense receipts stored as document attachments migrate as metadata references; the customer's Infor administrator configures Infor Document Management for storage and retrieval post-migration.
Xledger
Projects and Project Accounting
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Management
1:1Project records in Xledger track billing, revenue recognition, and cost allocation against a project's financial lifecycle. Projects reference specific Subledgers and carry custom fields. We map project definitions, billing rules, and cost allocations to Infor's project module. Revenue recognition schedules are migrated as Infor billing milestones or rate-based schedules depending on the CloudSuite edition. Projects without an active Subledger in Xledger are flagged for Infor project type assignment during mapping.
Xledger
Documents and Attachments
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Document Management
1:1Documents and attachments in Xledger are stored against journal entries, vendors, customers, and assets. We migrate document metadata (filename, type, date, reference) and link references. Full document content migration is scoped at the customer's request; large-volume document archives may require chunked export with Infor IDM (Infor Document Management) configured as the destination repository. The customer's Infor administrator sets up IDM before document metadata migration begins.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Xledger gotchas
Multi-entity intercompany journal entries require careful cross-mapping
Historical AP/AR records map to invoice-level objects, not account balances
Workflow and approval configurations are custom and non-transferable
ERP implementations extend well beyond the initial migration window
Built-in integrations are Xledger-side only and require separate destination-side configuration
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Infor edition scoping
We audit Xledger across Entity count, Subledger types, Chart of Accounts structure, open AP/AR volume, fixed asset register size, budget versions, and project scope. We pair this with the customer's Infor CloudSuite edition selection (Financials only, Industrial, Food & Beverage, etc.) and map the target schema. We extract the Xledger API schema via GraphQL to understand custom object fields and Entity-specific configurations. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a preliminary object mapping, and an Infor edition recommendation if one has not already been selected.
Intercompany elimination design
Before any data moves, we work with the customer's finance team to define the intercompany elimination strategy. We extract every cross-Entity posting from Xledger, classify each by intercompany type, and document the elimination treatment for each. This decision determines how we structure the Infor journal entries during migration. We also confirm the Infor consolidation or elimination module available in the target edition. This step is a prerequisite for Entity and Subledger migration because the elimination rules affect how Entities are structured in Infor.
Staging database and ETL pipeline build
Because Infor CloudSuite does not allow direct database access, we build an ETL pipeline that extracts from Xledger (via GraphQL and SOAP APIs), stages in a SQL Server migration database, transforms the data using the object mapping, and prepares it for Infor Migration Utility import or ION-based ingestion. We build the staging database with the same table structure that Infor's Migration Utility expects, including any customer-specific Xledger tables that are not part of the standard migration template.
Infor Migration Utility sequencing and import
We use Infor's Migration Utility to import staged data into CloudSuite, following Infor's prescribed import sequence where master data (Customers, Suppliers, Chart of Accounts, Operating Units) loads before transactional data (Journal Entries, AP/AR open items, Fixed Assets, Projects). We run the Data Assessment Report at each Import Step to identify format mismatches, invalid references, and data quality issues before they block the transfer. Some required data that has no Xledger counterpart (tax parameters, billing codes, Infor-specific configuration values) must be entered manually into Infor forms between import steps.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a CloudSuite Sandbox (or equivalent staging environment) using the complete production data volume. The customer's finance and IT leads reconcile record counts, spot-check 25-50 records against the Xledger source, and validate the intercompany elimination journal entries. Any mapping corrections, account code adjustments, or elimination rule corrections happen in the sandbox. We do not run production migration until sandbox sign-off is received.
Phased production migration aligned to Infor implementation milestones
We migrate production data in phases aligned to the Infor CloudSuite implementation timeline. Master data (Entities, Chart of Accounts, Customers, Suppliers, Bank Accounts) migrates at the blueprint milestone. Open AP/AR and project records migrate at the system integration testing milestone. Historical journal entries and fixed asset registers migrate at UAT or the pre-go-live window. Closed journal periods beyond the agreed historical scope migrate to Infor Data Lake as reporting archive data rather than transactional records. We deliver a reconciliation report at each phase before the next begins.
Cutover, delta migration, and Workflow inventory handoff
On go-live day, we freeze Xledger writes, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the full Workflow and Approval Configuration inventory document to the customer's Infor administrator. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Xledger workflows as Infor OS workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
