My company has moved to Sage Intaact but there is still some data on an old and apparently dying Great Plains Terminal that I want to extract before it's too late. How can I do this?
How to extract data from an old Great Plains Terminal
You can use GP's Integration Manager tool to export data. You'll need to configure export jobs for the data you want. The other option is using SmartList and exporting directly to Excel.
How to extract data from an old Great Plains Terminal
SQL Queries (SSMS / Views)
Best for clean, structured extracts of master data + transactions.
You can build queries to exactly match what the target system requires.
Export as CSV/Excel.
SmartList / SmartList Builder
Good for quick exports of Vendors, Customers, Accounts, Open AR/AP.
Export directly to Excel.
Best for smaller datasets or non-technical teams.
Excel Refreshable Reports
Already built-in GP SQL views for data extraction.
Can refresh to pull latest data into Excel.
Management Reporter
Export financial trial balance to Excel (for opening balances).
Note:For a full migration, most teams combine SQL + SmartList exports
