Beginning Balances approach. This is the simplest way. What you do is ? enter beginning balances in Great Plains General Ledger (GL) and begin using your new system. When you need to enter invoice for existing customer ? you create customer record in Great Plains and go ahead with Invoice in Accounts Receivables or Sales Order Processing (SOP). The same symmetric procedure is for vendor invoices in Purchase Order Processing (POP)
Master Records migration. If you have large number of customers and vendors, plus multiple addresses for customers Cheap Victor Rask Jersey , numerous inventory items, sophisticated chart of accounts with several thousand accounts in GL ? you need to migrate these master records from your old accounting to Great Plains. The best way is ? purchase Great Plains Integration manager and do it in-house or with minimal help from external consultant. If Integration Manager license seems to be expensive and you have SQL expertise in your IT group ? you could your programmer populate master tables: GL00100, RM00101, RM00102, PM00200
Open & Work Data Migration. In Great Plains Accounts Receivables and Accounts Payables invoices have open status if payments are not yet applied to these documents. We recommend you to use integration manager to bring customer and vendor invoices and payments and post them in Great Plains. This way will allow you to save on consulting services and keep good relationship with you Microsoft Business Solutions Partner. We do not recommend using SQL scripts for bringing open data into Great Plains ? you will have posting issues Cheap Scott Darling Jersey , related to incorrect distributions. In other words do not populate such tables as SOP10100, SOP10200 via direct SQL stored procs.
Historical Data Migration. We recommend stay away from this migration unless it is absolutely necessary ? you may have order takers needing immediate access to customer historical records to place new order. In this case having two system: legacy accounting for data lookup and Great Plains for new documents ? may not be efficient. Then you do direct historical tables population: SOP30200, SOP30300, etc.
Data Conversion. Conversion means the process of extracting data from your legacy application and massaging it to be ready to be fed to Great Plains. In case of each specific system you should use specific approach. In case of QuickBooks you simply print reports, save them in text file and massage there ? usually in Excel or Lotus 1-2-3. The specific of small accounting applications is proprietary database platform Cheap Elias Lindholm Jersey , which makes traditional tools, such as ODBC connection complicated.
