Migrate from Bizowie ERP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Bizowie Customer records map directly to Business Central Customer or F&O CustTable. We extract billing address, shipping address, payment terms, and credit limits from saved report CSV exports. Bizowie flags duplicate Customers using fuzzy matching on name, address, and email — present in 78% of migrations — and we surface these for business-user resolution before final import. Customer number sequence and number series must be configured in Dynamics 365 before import.

Bizowie Vendor master records map to Business Central Vendor or F&O VendTable with contact info, payment terms, and PO defaults preserved. Duplicate Vendors appear in 78% of Bizowie implementations alongside Customer duplicates; we apply the same fuzzy-matching dedupe workflow for Vendors and hold pairs for business-user merge decisions. Pay-to address and primary contact map from Bizowie's vendor contact records.

Bizowie Items map to Business Central Item or F&O EcoResProduct with full support for Bizowie's complex unit-of-measure logic — selling by case, buying by pallet, tracking by each. Multi-location lot and serial number tracking transfers as inventory tracking dimensions. Catch weight support requires configuration in Business Central inventory setup. Product type (inventory item, service item, non-stock item) maps from Bizowie item type flags.

Bizowie Chart of Accounts with GAAP-compliant hierarchy and parent-child relationships maps to Business Central G/L Account or F&O MainAccount. Account type (postable vs. heading, balance vs. income statement vs. total) and posting definitions transfer directly. Financial dimension structure in F&O requires mapping Bizowie cost center and department segments to Dynamics 365 financial dimension sets.

Bizowie Open Sales Orders map to Business Central Sales Header and Sales Line or F&O SalesTable and SalesLine. We preserve order header fields (customer reference, internal notes, shipping address override) and line-level fields (item number, quantity, unit price, line discount, warehouse location assignment). Order status and fulfillment progress transfer for partial-ship tracking. Completed orders remain in historical reporting and do not migrate as open records.

Bizowie Open Purchase Orders map to Business Central Purchase Header and Purchase Line or F&O PurchTable and PurchLine. Line-level pricing, expected receipt dates, and warehouse receiving assignments transfer. Partial receipt tracking against PO lines requires Bizowie receiving data mapped to posting journals in Dynamics 365. Vendor references and internal PO numbers preserve for cross-system reconciliation.

Bizowie current on-hand quantities by location and lot/serial map to Business Central Item Ledger Entry and Warehouse Entry or F&O InventSum and WMSLocation. We snapshot balances at migration cutover date and preserve lot and serial traceability records linked to source transactions. Multi-location inventory requires zone and aisle hierarchy mapping from Bizowie warehouse locations to Dynamics 365 location structure. Negative inventory checks require Dynamics 365 inventory posting setup before import.

Bizowie bin-level warehouse locations with zone and aisle hierarchy map to Business Central Location or F&O WMSLocation. We preserve location assignments and any custom location fields used for pick-pack-ship workflows. Location-specific inventory posting groups and warehouse class assignments transfer from Bizowie warehouse configuration. WMS-enabled locations in F&O require warehouse management parameters configuration before location data loads.

Bizowie outstanding receivables extract from saved report CSV exports with original invoice dates, amounts, and aging buckets preserved. We create open Customer Ledger Entries in Business Central or open CustTrans records in F&O with the correct document type (Invoice, Payment, Credit Memo). Reminder level and credit limit transfers from Bizowie Customer. Closed AR archives rather than migrates.

Bizowie outstanding payables map to Business Central Vendor Ledger Entry or F&O VendTrans with original invoice dates, amounts, and due dates. Payment terms from Bizowie Vendor master generate due date calculations in Dynamics 365. GST/HST or sales tax groups require mapping from Bizowie tax configuration to Dynamics 365 tax setup. Closed AP archives rather than migrates.

Bizowie Knowledge Base articles and custom wiki databases contain organization-specific process documentation. We do not migrate Knowledge Bases as records into Dynamics 365 because there is no equivalent native object with the same schema. We deliver a written inventory of every Knowledge Base with article titles, content summaries, and custom database field structures, which the customer's admin uses to recreate relevant content in Microsoft SharePoint, Dynamics 365 knowledge management, or a connected wiki.

Bizowie user accounts and role assignments extract from the system. Role-to-permission mapping is platform-specific and requires manual review to equivalent Dynamics 365 role definitions. Business Central uses Permission Sets and User Groups; F&O uses Security Roles and Duty/Privilege hierarchies. Owner assignments on records also require mapping to Dynamics 365 Owner or Responsible Worker fields. We flag any Bizowie user without a matching Dynamics 365 user for admin provisioning before record migration.

Bizowie eCommerce sync data from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, or 3DCart flows into Bizowie as orders and product updates. When migrating to Dynamics 365, we map historical eCommerce orders to Sales Header/Lines. Ongoing eCommerce integration requires rebuilding the connector in Dynamics 365 using Microsoft's Shopify connector, Magento adapter, or custom API integration with the customer's chosen eCommerce platform.
