Data migration from MS Navision to MS Business Central

(1) ShareShare

Please advise on the following matter.

The client has been using MS Navision and then decided to upgrade and switch to MS Business Central. Accordingly, the client is transferring their accounts receivable documents from MS Navision to MS Business Central. After such migration, will the internal IDs of the documents change, or in MS Business Central, will the documents retain the same internal identifiers they had in MS Navision?

    Hi
    What do you mean by internal IDs of the documents changes? If you talk about document numbers, entries numbers or transaction numbers, everything is maintained in a data migration, from a nav version to a business central one.
    Here is information that may interest you.
    Best Regards

    Data will retain as same as it is there in Navision.

    Hi,
     
    During the upgrade process the data is brought as-is to latest version of business central on-prem or BC SaaS.
