Prepare Existing Data for a Move

Organise your source records before discussing migration options.

Organise your source records before discussing migration options. This is a preparation checklist, not a screen-by-screen product manual. Confirm available features and exact steps in your current setup.

1

Protect the original records

Keep a secure original copy before editing files for migration.

  1. 1Identify the systems and files that hold your records.
  2. 2Create a backup using your existing system’s supported process.
  3. 3Remove unnecessary personal information from samples sent for evaluation.
2

Confirm what can be moved

Support for a particular source system, file format or field must be confirmed before you rely on it.

  1. 1Tell the team whether your records come from Tally, Excel or another system.
  2. 2Ask which formats and fields are currently supported.
  3. 3Confirm scope, responsibility, cost and timing before proceeding.
3

Validate before switching

Use an agreed sample and reconciliation process rather than assuming an import is complete.

  1. 1Review item, supplier and balance mappings with the team.
  2. 2Compare source and destination totals for the agreed sample.
  3. 3Keep the original backup and obtain approval before live use.
