 Overview

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Sage 100, after migrating your data files, you must convert the data to the current level.

 

To convert data files to the current level

1. Use one of the following methods to open the Company Maintenance  window:

   • Log on to the software as the Administrator. On the Administrative Tools screen, click Company Maintenance.

   • Select Library Master Main menu > Company Maintenance.

2. In the Company Code field, enter a company code, or click the Lookup button to select a company. Only companies with data that has been migrated appear in the Company List window. For more information, see Company Maintenance - Fields.

3. Click Convert. The Convert Module Data Files window opens.

4. If you want to convert data for all of your companies, select the Convert Data for All Companies check box. For more information, see Convert Module Data Files - Fields.

   Note If you migrated data for the Payroll module, depending on which version you're upgrading from, you may not have the option to convert data for all companies.

5. Click Proceed.

   If you are migrating data for the Payroll module, depending on which version you're upgrading from, the Payroll Data Conversion Wizard may open. If it does, proceed through the wizard to convert your Payroll data. For more information, see Converting Payroll Data.

6. When the data conversion complete message appears, click OK.

7. Repeat this procedure to convert data for other companies as needed.

You data is converted. For a list of tasks to complete next, see the upgrade checklists in the Sage 100 Customer Upgrade Guide. You can access the upgrade guide from the Resources page or the Sage 100 documents page.
