    Recommended method is to use Data Management Framework (DMF) projects to import legacy history.  Export the General Journal template from DMF and populate legacy data into the template, then import.

    Hi Billur/Frank,

    Thank you. One additional question please.

    We are merging our one subsidiary company (Currently not using D365)  into D365 and acquisition is from 1st of October. Do I need to migrate trial balance with date of 30th of September as closing balance or 1st of October as opening balance?

    If opening period is 1 st of October,  then it is better to upload in 30 th of September and run closing and opening process. If else still I would upload as the month end.

    Hi Billur,

    Thanks for your response.

    Importing data as closing balance will show data in financial report in month September. Will it be a problem If acquisition is from 1st of October and Financial report show data in month of September?
