Dirty Data That Needs Cleansing: Legacy Dynamics GP systems often contain old, inactive, or expired data that requires cleanup before migration.
Custom Extender or Add-On Data: Third-party tables used for custom Extender or Add-on data may be complicated to migrate.
Account Segments to Dimensions: Account segments in Dynamics GP transition to Dimensions in Dynamics 365 Business Central, requiring adjustments to how they link to master record cards.
Limitations of Microsoft’s Configuration Packages: These packages are difficult to customize and offer limited error-handling capabilities, making them challenging for complex migrations.

Standard Templates: Begin with a template that serves as a starting point and can be tailored to meet your unique requirements.
User-Friendly Review and Import: Empower users to extract all Dynamics GP data, review, and import data effortlessly, ensuring only required data is migrated.
Comprehensive Data Handling: eOne’s tools excel at managing the details, including bulk imports to multiple tables in Dynamics 365 Business Central, while ensuring relationships, lookups, and data transformations are handled seamlessly.
Error Management Made Simple: Easily view and fix errors, then reprocess failed imports in real time, ensuring a smooth migration experience.

The GP “Unposted/Work” tables

Open sales transactions
Open payables transactions
Unreconciled bank transactions
Items in transit
GL beginning balance/net change

Partially Processed Transactions: Some transactional data may be incomplete during migration, such as orders that have been shipped but remain unpaid under payment terms.
Changes to Related Master Data: Master data, such as customer or vendor records, may require updated identifiers to align with Dynamics 365 Business Central’s structure.
Allocation Adjustments: Dynamics GP’s distributions need to be transitioned into General Ledger (GL) lines in Dynamics 365 Business Central, which may involve reconfiguring allocation rules.
Phased Migration Approach: Migrating all GP companies simultaneously may not always be feasible, requiring a phased approach to transition one company at a time while minimizing disruption.

Standardized Import Approach: Streamline your process with a consistent method to handle all imports efficiently.
Controlled Data Migration: Migrate only the data you need, such as open transactions, to start fresh in Dynamics 365 Business Central without unnecessary bulk.
Simple Relationship Maintenance: Join Dynamics GP tables ensuring relationships between records are preserved, when importing to Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Multi-Company Data Management: Easily migrate, consolidate, or split companies during the transition process.
Error Handling Made Easy: When errors occur, use an intuitive interface to view, resolve, and reprocess them immediately, keeping your migration on track.

High Costs of Migrating All History: Moving all Dynamics GP historical data to Dynamics 365 Business Central is costly and not typically recommended.

Reporting Complexities: Consolidating reports between Dynamics GP history tables and Dynamics 365 Business Central posted transaction tables is challenging and time-consuming.
Add-On Compatibility Issues: Not all of Dynamics GP Add-ons have equivalent Business Central Extensions, leading to inconsistent data structures.
Security and Compliance Risks: Dynamics GP will become unsupported by Microsoft in 2029.

Secure and Cost-Effective Archiving: Archive all historical Dynamics GP data and attachments in a secure, cost-effective data lake, eliminating the need for expensive on-premise server maintenance.
Seamless Data Access: Access your Dynamics GP data and SmartLists directly from a Dynamics 365 Business Central Role Center or card page, keeping historical information at your fingertips.
Eliminate Legacy Infrastructure: Retire outdated servers and related technology, saying goodbye to the infrastructure of the past.
Consolidated Reporting Made Easy: Empower power users to create consolidated SmartLists that combine Dynamics GP and Business Central data in a single, unified list.
