Hi everyone!
I've been researching methods of migrating basic financial transactions (GL transactions, open AR, open AP) between legal entities, but I can't find an answer to how the migration will be impacted by the subledgers and the general ledgers automatically interacting.
Let me explain - so far I've gathered that I can migrate the GL and AR transactions using the "General Journal" data entity, and for AP I can use "Vendor invoice journal header" and "Vendor invoice journal lines". However, I'm confused about the sequencing of the data for import.
For example, when I extract the General Journal from the source legal entity, aren't the AP transactions already in the General Journal data entity since sub ledgers post to the general ledger? Would I then be duplicating AP transactions if I imported the entire General Journal file from the source legal entity in addition to the "Vendor invoice journal header" and "Vendor invoice journal lines" data entities? And would using the General Journal data entity be enough to process any open AR in the target legal entity?
It seems like every post I read has a different perspective on how best to import these scenarios. YOUR thoughts would be much appreciated.
