Hello, I'm currently testing the FA module in our test environment with testing to be completed soon. I have a few questions/concerns particularly about migrating the FA data to the live environment. 1) How do I actually transfer the data from test to live? Is it as simple as running the asset import/export function under utilities? Or do I manually enter the assets in the live environment via Cards? 2) How will importing fixed asset data from the test environment impact my live general ledger? 2) If I export the fixed assets, do I depreciate them first and then migrate to live? Or do I depreciate them after they're imported? Thank you so much in advance!

There is an automated solution available on PartnerSource that allows you to copy setup data for individual modules from one company to another. It is called "CopyCompanySetup" and you or your MS Dynamics Partner can download it from https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/support/selfsupport/automatedsolutions/automatedsolutionsR10.htm

It brings over everything except transactions and is a great utility.
