This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.
The fifth of the new functionality in the governance and administration section is Migrate more data from Dynamics GP.
The cloud migration tool in Business Central has been enhanced to provide more configuration options as well as expanding the scope of the data that it migrates from Dynamics GP to Business Central.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
General Availability: October 2022
In this release wave, Microsoft have enhanced the cloud migration tool to include the following capabilities:
- Option to not include inactive checkbooks.
- Migrate unreconciled bank transactions.
- Migrate vendor’s remit-to address to the vendor’s main address.
- Additional information available in the Dynamics GP Receivables and Payables Transaction lists.
- Migrate fiscal periods to accounting periods.
- Option to limit the number of historical Dynamics GP years to be migrated.
- Migrate vendor EFT information to the vendor’s bank information.
- Migrate vendor class accounts to vendor posting groups.
- Migrate customer class accounts to customer posting groups.
- Migrate item class accounts to inventory posting groups.
- Option to migrate a selection of modules.
My opinion
Before my recent departure from Dynamics GP, this is a feature I’d have had some interest in; I’m surely it will be popular with those who work with both systems and do work to migrate users from Dynamics GP to Dynamics BC.
