Hi Smehra33,

You can migrate GP 2015 and later versions to Business Central. There is not a specific version of GP 2018 I'd recommend you upgrade to prior to migrating (if you upgrade it really doesn't matter which version of 2018 you upgrade to - you can migrate from any of them).

**Very important: You must be using SQL Server 2016 or above to migrate.

Here’s a link to our documentation that talks about which products and versions are supported:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/faq-migrate-data#which-products-and-versions-are-supported

Here’s a link to a blog that talks about the SQL requirements and when those changed:

SQL compatibility changes when migrating to Business Central - Dynamics 365 Business Central Community

Also, here’s a link to a great GP to BC Migration blog series that contains a plethora of helpful information (I suggest you read through this information prior to migrating):

Landing Page for GP to BC Migration Information - Dynamics 365 Business Central Community

I hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing all the resources with me. Yes, I have read that we can migrate from 2015 or later. My only concern is that I read somewhere Migration tool can only be used with GP2018 or later and SQL2016. Thank you again. I appreciate your guidance.
