hi guys,
is it ok to make an upgrade by simply import the data from say 3.7 to 5.0.
example
we will use the version 5.0(setup,master data according to 3.7 version) on august, then we will just import the data of ledger entries from 3.7 and the customized object.
by doing this we don't have to make an object and data upgrade.
what should be the problem using this approach?

I think that approach is likely to cause problems. There are new fields, and some objects expect there to be values in the new fields.
I would follow the upgrade process that is included with the Developer's Toolkit, and use the data conversion tools provided.0 -

NOOOOO!!!!!!! :shock:
You will be in a world of hurt. You can probably write a book with the problems you'll encounter.
Don't make your own rules, follow the upgrade toolkit. It's created for a reason.Confessions of a Dynamics NAV Consultant = my blog
