You can migrate existing customer data from an existing ERP system to Business Central using the data migration tools of RapidStart Services (Configuration Package). You should go deeper in Configuration Package story if your work with SaaS/Cloud version.
A good start point:
I've created the example about use Whse. Phys. Invt. Journal (‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’) and Configuration Package.
This is just my idea how to add Items with Lot and Expired Data to 'Bins' (WHITE) location.
As first step I create new company with No Data.

Next point set Company Information \\ User Experience = Premium.
CP02.png
Default demo data in SaaS/Cloud version does not have WMS (‘Bins’) location [location WHITE].
We can use Predefined Configuration Package (GB.ENG.EXTENDED) for create necessary demo data.

===
Predefined Configuration Packages are good examples.
You could create master data with using GB.ENG.EXTENDED and GB.ENG.STANDARD packages.
And even more.. GB.ENG.EVALUATION use ‘Processing Rules’ option and as result produce some posted documents.

Well, start import GB.ENG.EXTENDED package. // Wait 10-15 mins
CP07.png
And next… Apply Package. // Wait 10-15 mins
CP08.png
CP09.png
CP10.png
Oki. Master data in our company. // we have Items with “Unit Cost” on ‘Item Card’ and etc.. [Item ‘80216-T’, Unit Cost = 0.50]
Set Company \ Display Name.
CP11.png
Setup yourself as ‘Warehouse Employee’.
CP12.png
Create new ‘Item Tracking Code’ (LOTALLWMS).
CP13.png
CP14.png
Set Item (‘80216-T’) \\ Item Tracking Code = LOTALLWMS.
CP15.png
CP16.png
Well, now find Whse. Phys. Invt. Journal and fill a dummy line (do not register this ‘Journal’).
// I think good idea do not produce posted data directly… better fill ‘Journal’ and Post/Register ‘Journal’ manually…
CP17.png
CP18.png
You see ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’ does not have “Lot No.” and “Expiration Date” columns.
We no need it for our example because we fill data via Excel. BUT you can add “Lot No.” via Personalise.
For “Expiration Date” you need create an extension. // for an extension remove dependencies
Let’s start play with Configuration Package.
CP19.png
CP20.png
CP21.png
CP22.png
// Clear Included for all lines (System save Primary Key fields in any case)
CP23.png
Set ‘Include Field’ for necessary fields.
CP24.png
// “Validate Field” = no for “From Bin Code”
CP25.png
As result:
 CP26.png
------------------
At this point not so bad idea use Validate Package action.
// Configuration Package is for admins. You should be carefully with this tool.
------------------
Export to Excel our Dummy line.
CP27.png
CP28.png
Modify Excel file. // add new lines and etc..
CP29.png
Delete our Dummy line. // ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’
CP30.png
Import from Excel and Apply Package.
CP31.png
------------------
At this point not so bad idea use Validate Package action.
// Configuration Package is for admins. You should be carefully with this tool.

Register ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’.
CP35.png
Go to ‘Item Journal’ and run ‘Calculate Warehouse Adjustment’.
CP36.png
CP37.png
Post ‘Item Journal’.
CP38.png
Check ‘Item Tracking Entries’.
CP39.png
CP40.png
Run ‘Post Inventory Cost to G/L’.
CP41.png
Check ‘Chart Accounts’.
CP42.png
Save our package.
