Converting data

The final step in setup is to convert your existing (non-Lawson) data in the Accounts Receivable application. This is a one-time process, which must be performed after you have defined your customer group, company, customer description, and customers.

Use the downloaded files as a guide. It is recommended that you map your data to the actual file layout from your system in the event of documentation errors or database modifications your company might have made. Your IS staff will know how to obtain these layouts using one of several utilities (i.e., dbdef, bldexpfd).
