so let me know will prefer THE ABOVE METHOD ?

what is your method when the client as k to enter the previous data inNavision.

Why doesn't the client just enter the past data (July thru the end of October) themselves and then keep double books thru November. It seems very expensive to have you do this data entry. Also by doing this themselves they will get familiar/comfortable with how the data ends up in NAV. Changes can be made during the month to fine tune things and they will have less surprizes on the week of Dec. 15th.
You'll have to ask them what level of detail they want for their history. Item level detail could take a lot of work. Invoice level detail could be imported into the sales journal if they wanted.

Namaste!

Normally in the event where go live date is after 1st Aprl, we take the opening balances
as on go live date.

e.g

NAV goes live as on 12th June'08.

if we diceded that System will Start from 1st June'08, then client has to give the opening
balances as on 1st June'08 and they have to do the backlog entries from 1st June to as on date.

Thanks,

The main problems with productions and consumptions , transfers .
It is chemical company . they are maintaing the Lot number for rawmaterial .
So it will take lot of time to do transactions by choosing the lot number for each item against transfers , receipts, Purchase re eipts, ..


The main problem with Inventory tracking. .



So what is your valuable advice.

Namaste!

in such a scenario upload all the opening inventory with single Lot No.
e.g OPENING LOT.

Till the time opening inventory finishes, let user track the Lot control out of NAV.
After go live any new purchase will be start tracking with actual lot no.

I hope that you can understand my problem.
As senior implementer could u support to enter the backlog data
For 3 months, or 6 months, or 1 year ?


Or just take the opening entries start the transactions from that day for live ?

Please throw your valuable information .

At least for next project we will take care about Back log.

Thanks and regards

If the old system is still there and available there is no "real" need for the data to be in NAV - it will be horrendously expensive to get it in, and no value if you can prove traceablity elsewhere. If you have to do it there is actually little difference between 3, 6 or 12 months, once you start to get the format and process correct the data volume is then teh factor, and this should not be a great issue.

My advice is simple, if you can avoid it do so, it is expensive, troublesome and barely used once live.

Normally we start with opening balance entries instead of entering backlog entries of
past 3- 6 months. because in such a scenario end users looses their enterest in new system
and it will not be online anytime, also there are chanses of lot of wrong entries.
