Best Practices

  • It is recommended that the Conversion Tool is used on Friday since the On-Floor Inventory will not update until the weekly correction process runs over the weekend.

  • Make sure Date Range used on the Conversion Tool spans from a time older than the first Purchase, and well beyond the furthest dated pre-sale. This will ensure that all Purchase/Invoice Transactions will be converted.

  • If the subject Product has extensive Purchase and Sales history, then consider creating a new Product rather than using the Conversion Tool.
