Map the records

Inventory, customers, suppliers, open orders, balances and historical reports may need different migration paths. Confirm export and import formats before setting a date.

Pilot, reconcile, then cut over

Test one location or workflow, compare stock and financial totals, train the team, and keep a rollback window before retiring the previous tools.
