DCD GL conversion to Vantage 4.0?

Yahoo Archive

I found that this is a good time to improve the chart of accounts. I
also recommed the Controllers workshop. An important key is knowing
where journal entries are coming from. You need to know the hierarchy
of Vantage.
To aid in this we used prefixes in the Account Description when
setting up the Module Configuration area and other default areas.
For example, all control accounts start with a prefix CTRL. so I know
that the entry came from the contol area or AR. for the Accounts
Receivable defaults. Product Group defaults start with PG.
Feel free to contact me offline to bounce around some ideas.

Hello all,

We are going to be converting our General Ledger over from DCD to
Vantage 4.0 and I was wondering if anyone had had any troubles or
thoughts about this process.

Also can anyone tell me if the report layout for the financial
statements has changed drastically.

Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

I think it helped us greatly to keep exactly the same chart of accounts
structure and numbers. Be sure to attend the Controllers Workshop. The
financial report writer was fairly easy to learn and use (if you can use
report tools like report builder) for creating the reports. The reports
included with Vantage are pretty minimal. I am not an accountant so I am
not sure how big the differences were to those who are but I have heard few
complaints from our people. Also, we did not convert actual data but rather
started fresh and made some initial journal entries so I am not sure how a
data conversion process would work for GL.

Hello all,

We are going to be converting our General Ledger over from DCD to
Vantage 4.0 and I was wondering if anyone had had any troubles or
thoughts about this process.

Also can anyone tell me if the report layout for the financial
statements has changed drastically.

Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
