Hi Olu,

Please refer to this topic, specially Bertrand's comment, where he wrote that there is no standard tool for converting data from NAV to AX - Data Import Export Framework can be used for this purpose.

Kind Regards,

István

Hi Olu,

There is no seamless migration. In AX, you can use Data Import Export Framework to import setup, master data and open balances. You have to map all tables and fields manually. It is not recommended to migrate full historical transactions.

As there are too many differences between NAV and AX it is not possible to just switch from one to the other.

Thanks Andre,

Is there any document that can explain or show the corresponding mapping available?

Hi Olu,

There is no document. It would be the experience from NAV or AX professionals to be able to know or find table/field names. The data model is quite different.
