The NAV “Unposted/Work” tables

Open payables transactions
Open sales transactions
Unreconciled bank transactions

Multi-Company Migration: Dynamics NAV utilizes separate databases per company. You may need to migrate each NAV company database into separate Business Central companies within a single BC tenant.
Master Data Changes: Master data, such as customer or vendor records, may require updated identifiers to align with Dynamics 365 Business Central’s structure.
Partially Processed Transactions: Some transactional data may be incomplete during migration. One example would be orders that have been shipped but are still unpaid under payment terms.
Phased Migration Approach: Migrating all NAV companies at the same time may not be feasible, requiring a phased approach to transition one company at a time while minimizing disruption.

Controlled Data Migration: Migrate only the data you need to start fresh in Dynamics 365 Business Central without unnecessary or outdated data bogging down your system.
Multi-Company Data Management: Easily migrate, consolidate, or split companies during the transition process.
Relationship Maintenance: Join Dynamics NAV tables and ensure the relationships between records are preserved when importing to Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Standardized Imports: Efficiently handle all imports with a streamlined standard import process.
