APR Migration Tool - Functional Specifications

Overview

This module provides the possibility of migrating all the financial data from the old flow to the new flow implemented by the Advance Payables and Receivables Management module.


Purpose

With this module it is expected to provide an easy way to migrate old live environments to an updated instance using the Advance Payables and Receivables Management module (APR from now on). On the APR module financial entities like Bank, Cash, Settlements, etc. have been replaced by new entities like Financial Accounts, Payments, Payment Methods. The objective of the migration tool is to provide an automatic mechanism to migrate all the data defined on the old entities to the equivalent entities on the new flow. Once the migration is done the instance will be ready to use the new flow.


Scope

This module will deliver a process to migrate data from the old flow to the new flow. This process will be executed once and it won't be possible undo it. It will neither provide a process to migrate data from the new flow to the old flow.
