FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 25, 2009 --

If your organization has Microsoft Small Business Financials 7.5, 8.0 or 9.0, you should think about the future of your Corporate ERP application. Small Business Financials is finalized on version 9.0 and recommended migration path is to Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Business Ready with Business Essentials license model. If you are current in Microsoft Business Solutions annual enhancement program you should expect refund for the price of your current Small Business Financials, when you purchase Dynamics GP licenses. In this small publication we will give you technical highlights on migration, and what to expect:

1. Upgrade Path. You should first upgrade Small Business Financials to version 9.0. Second Step is Migration Tool: SBF->GP 9.0. Next step is preparation of Dynamics GP 9.0 for upgrade (SQL Scripts). Next step is applying Service Pack 3 or 4 for Dynamics GP 9.0. And then final migration to Dynamics GP 10.0 SP3 or 4

2. Additional steps in Dynamics GP 10.0. As Business Ready comes with multicurrency, you may decide to disable it or enable (it is enabled by default to give you the option to deploy multicurrency). If you would like to setup Multicurrency, you should follow enabling technical paper, or simply set it in Tools->Setup->System->Currency (add at least one currency, such as Z-US$ and make if functional and reporting). Grant access to the currency for your company in Multicurrency Access Setup, Pick Currency for your Check Books (may need to do it in SQL Scripts)run Check Links for your Financial Series
