Migration issues

rosine

Hi guys!

I need your ideas here.

I have a customer who want to go phase by phase on their ERP implementation.

Phase 1: Migrate all purchasing that is not related to inventory means:
- Gl transactions will be done for every thing not keep in inventory.

Phase2: Integrating Inventory in ERP which will affect

· Planning (Inventory requisitions)
· Purchasing
· Inventory management
· Receiving (Inventory & Customer parts)

So my concers are:

- Actually " Average cost " is used in their system and they will want to use "FIFO" once in Navision. What is the impact on migration? All items set at same price on day#1 of phase 2? What about the uncosted items on day#1 on phase 2 where all inventory items will be in Navision.

Thanks for your ideas.

Hi Rosine,

Here is as I understand the situation based on your message and my experience.

I assume that you have total inventory value and physical inventory count (as minimum) from your previous system.

To go for phase 2 you need: item #, average cost (last direct cost) and quantity.

If you haven’t average cost by item you won’t get accurate item cost.
Try to get accurate average cost by item as possible based on item groups or something else. You should reconcile inventory value with G/L.

The same price for all items is the last solution.

Your question is more financial than technical.
