Dynamics GP to Business Central Migration
Move from Dynamics GP to Business Central online with a planned migration: cleaned data, mapped segments, tested replication and a cutover that protects your close.
Hull Technologies moves Dynamics GP customers to Business Central online using Microsoft's cloud migration tool plus the cleanup, mapping and validation the tool does not do for you. We plan around your fiscal calendar and reconcile trial balance, agings, inventory and bank before sign-off.
Key facts
- Microsoft's tool supports GP 2015 and later, with SQL Server 2016 or later.
- It moves setup, master data, open transactions, summary GL history and an optional historical snapshot.
- It skips undeposited receipts, paid portions of documents and unit of measure schedules.
- Replication overwrites data in the target environment, so it must never point at a live company.
What the migration tool does, and what it leaves to you
Microsoft documents the scope in Migrate Dynamics GP to Business Central online. Reports, Management Reporter statements, add-on data and customizations need their own plan, and GP historical years arrive open and must be closed in Business Central.
Our Dynamics GP data migration checklist lists every prerequisite and validation step.
How we run a GP migration
Every project starts with a GP migration assessment, then follows the phases in our Business Central implementation roadmap, with the GP data workstream running inside it.
How it works
1. Assess
Version, add-ons, customizations, data volume and reports.
2. Clean
Post or delete unposted batches, close stale orders, fix master data.
3. Map
GP segments to Business Central dimensions, and reports to financial reports.
4. Replicate and test
Run test migrations into a sandbox and reconcile.
5. Cut over
Final replication, sign-off and hypercare through the first close.
Questions buyers ask us
How much GP history comes across?
Summary GL history plus an optional historical snapshot of detailed transactions. Many teams also keep GP read-only for older lookups.
Do our GP add-ons move?
Not automatically. Each add-on needs a Business Central equivalent, an AppSource app or a small extension, which we identify in the assessment.
