Epicor to NetSuite Data Migration
Migrating from Epicor to NetSuite? Settle automates the mapping between Epicor's manufacturing-centric data model and NetSuite's cloud ERP — preserving customer records, part masters, BOMs, job history, and financial data.

Enterprise migrations routinely run months behind schedule. Yours doesn't have to.
This guide is for VPs of IT, data architects, and migration leads at companies moving data from Epicor to Oracle NetSuite — whether you're scoping, planning, or mid-program.
Epicor Kinetic (formerly Epicor ERP 10) stores data in a SQL Server database with manufacturing-specific tables — Part, Customer, JobHead, JobMtl, JobOper, PartBin — using company and plant-level segmentation. NetSuite uses a cloud-native object model with Items, Customers, Work Orders, and BOM revisions. Settle translates Epicor's manufacturing schema to NetSuite's object hierarchy automatically, including multi-plant and multi-company configurations.

How Settle automates your Epicor to Oracle NetSuite migration
Settle profiles Epicor's Part table including revisions, part classes, plant attributes, and UD fields — mapping each to the corresponding NetSuite item type (Assembly, Inventory, Non-Inventory, Kit) with field-level translation.
Multi-level BOMs are restructured from Epicor's job-centric model (JobMtl/JobOper) to NetSuite's item-centric BOM format, preserving component quantities, operation sequences, and revision history.
Epicor's multi-company/multi-plant hierarchy is mapped to NetSuite's subsidiary/location structure with plant-level inventory, pricing, and warehouse data properly segmented.
Settle generates transformation SQL for Epicor's job costing data to align with NetSuite's costing methods — flagging valuation discrepancies before go-live.

Common challenges migrating from Epicor to Oracle NetSuite
Part master and revision complexity
Epicor's Part table includes revision tracking, part classes, part groups, and plant-level attributes (PartPlant). A single part can have multiple revisions, each with different BOMs and routings. NetSuite uses Assembly Items with BOM revisions — but the revision model works differently. Settle maps Epicor part revisions to NetSuite BOM revisions and flags parts with revision-specific routings that need manual review.
Explore related migrations →Multi-level BOM restructuring
Epicor stores BOMs through job materials (JobMtl) and operations (JobOper) tied to part revisions. NetSuite uses BOM records with component lines and routing steps. The structure is fundamentally different — Epicor's BOM is job-centric (tied to manufacturing orders), while NetSuite's BOM is item-centric. Settle restructures Epicor's job-based BOM data into NetSuite's item-based BOM format.
Explore related migrations →Multi-plant and multi-company segmentation
Epicor supports multi-company and multi-plant configurations with company-level and plant-level data segmentation. Part availability, pricing, and warehouse data are plant-specific. NetSuite uses subsidiaries and locations for the same purpose, but the segmentation model is different. Settle maps Epicor's company/plant hierarchy to NetSuite's subsidiary/location structure.
Explore related migrations →Job costing and financial history
Epicor tracks manufacturing costs through job costing — actual material, labor, burden, and subcontracting costs vs. estimated costs per job. NetSuite uses work order completion costs and standard costing or average costing methods. The costing methodology translation affects inventory valuation and financial reporting post-migration.
Explore related migrations →User-defined fields and BAQs
Epicor implementations use UD (User Defined) fields on most tables and BAQs (Business Activity Queries) for custom reporting. These customizations contain critical business logic. Settle profiles all UD fields and maps them to NetSuite custom fields, generating the custom field definitions for the NetSuite implementation.

The cost of manual Epicor to Oracle NetSuite migration
Epicor to NetSuite is one of the most common mid-market ERP migrations, driven by private equity portfolio companies consolidating onto a single cloud platform, manufacturers outgrowing Epicor's reporting and e-commerce capabilities, and distribution companies seeking NetSuite's SuiteCommerce integration. Epicor Kinetic, Epicor Prophet 21, and legacy Epicor Vantage/Vista installations are the most common source systems.
The technical complexity comes from Epicor's deep manufacturing data model. Epicor stores parts with revisions, multi-level BOMs (JobMtl for materials, JobOper for operations), routing operations with resource groups, and job costing data that tracks actual vs. estimated costs. NetSuite handles manufacturing through Work Orders, BOM revisions, and routing records — but the data model is structurally different. Part revisions, operation sequences, and costing methods don't map one-to-one.
PE firms and their portfolio companies typically engage consulting firms for 6–14 months to run these migrations. The data conversion — mapping Epicor's Part/Customer/Job tables to NetSuite Items/Customers/Work Orders, restructuring BOMs, and migrating financial history — is the most labor-intensive workstream.
Consulting-led delivery for migrations in this class typically runs $600K–$1.5M. Settle prices it fixed and scoped — read the full cost breakdown.
