Hi:

I know how to use Configuration Packages, Edit in Excel, and copying from Excel into journal entry lines.

But, I'm fuzzy on such data migration terms as "import the net change for comparative financials" and "detail transaction history".

For importing into G/L journal entries during data migration from a previously used ERP application, what columns or whatever are used for importing "net change" and "detail transaction history"?

And, are these terms the same thing? I would really like to know what is meant by them and how to configure data migration.

For that matter, is there a "guide" of some sort on G/L data migration?

Thanks!

John
