Finance Conversion Essentials
Explains what happens to finance data in a system conversion: the move to the universal journal (with a worked Contoso sale), the preparation finance and inventory must finish in ECC, the phases of the finance data migration and how to read its monitor, the reconciliations before and after with a timed go-live Sunday plan, and the criteria finance uses to sign off and check the first real close. Built for data migration specialists, test leads and solution architects at Practitioner level, it closes with a 12-question quiz.
