Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Logo Go to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a structural ERP modernization. Logo Go's limited documented API surface means we rely on direct database exports and CSV extraction rather than REST or Bulk API calls. We map the Chart of Accounts to G/L Accounts, Customer and Vendor masters to their respective ledger entries, Items to the inventory catalog, and open AP/AR records to outstanding transactions. Journal entries and fixed asset records migrate as-is but require manual reconciliation post-migration because Logo Go stores fiscal-period data differently than Business Central's posting-date model. Custom fields and localized tax configurations are the primary sources of mapping complexity; we document every deviation in the scope document before any data moves. Workflows, automations, and report definitions do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Business Central.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Logo Go

What's pushing teams away

  • Annual LEM (maintenance & update) fees are mandatory on top of licence cost — total cost of ownership creeps up year over year.
  • On-premise architecture (Windows desktop / web client) is increasingly out of step with cloud-first competitors; multi-site and remote-access deployments require extra infrastructure work.
  • Public API and developer documentation are sparse — App-in-App technology exists for Logo partners but is not openly published, limiting third-party integration vendors outside Turkey.
  • Heavy localisation to Turkish accounting and tax practice creates friction when companies expand internationally or run multi-country consolidations.
  • Modular pricing differences between 1-user and 10-user configurations are significant — growth above 10 users triggers package upgrades that surprise buyers at renewal.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

What's pulling them in

  • Deep integration with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Power Platform means organizations already on the Microsoft stack get identity, reporting, and workflow continuity out of the box.
  • Unified financials, sales, service, and operations replace multiple disconnected systems — users report that data entered once flows through purchase orders, invoicing, and approvals without manual re-entry.
  • Copilot AI features (predictive analytics, embedded business intelligence) are included in both Essentials and Premium tiers, addressing demand for AI without separate module purchases.
  • Named-user licensing with no concurrent model appeals to organizations that want predictable per-seat costs even if some users access the system infrequently.
  • Strong partner ecosystem with certified NAV-to-Business Central migration specialists gives mid-market companies confidence the cutover from legacy Navision can be executed reliably.

Object mapping

How Logo Go objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Each row shows how a Logo Go object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Logo Go

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

G/L Account

lossy
Fully supported

Logo Go's Chart of Accounts migrates to Business Central G/L Account table. Single-segment accounts map directly to G/L Account numbers. Multi-segment accounts (Department-Cost Center-Natural Account) require a dimension strategy: we either concatenate segments into the G/L Account number or map each segment to a Business Central Dimension (which requires Dimension value setup before account migration). Account type (heading, posting, total) maps to Business Central Account Type with Income/Balance account category mapping for financial reporting.

Logo Go

Customer Master

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go Customer records map to Business Central Customer. The Customer Posting Group maps from Logo Go's customer category code. We preserve Payment Terms and Invoice Disc. Group as Business Central Payment Terms Code and Customer Price Group. Address structure (bill-to, ship-to) migrates to Customer Address and Ship-to Address records. The customer balance (open AR) migrates as a Customer Ledger Entry with remaining amount and due date preserved.

Logo Go

Vendor Master

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Vendor

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go Vendor records map to Business Central Vendor. The Vendor Posting Group maps from Logo Go's vendor category code. Payment Terms and Vendor Invoice Disc. Group migrate to Business Central equivalents. Remit-to addresses and ship-to addresses migrate as separate address records. The vendor balance (open AP) migrates as a Vendor Ledger Entry with remaining amount and due date preserved.

Logo Go

Item Master

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go Items map to Business Central Item records. Item type (inventory vs service) maps from Logo Go's item type flag. Base Unit of Measure and any alternate UOMs migrate as Item Unit of Measure records. Unit Cost and Unit Price migrate as Last Direct Cost and Standard Cost respectively. For manufactured items, we flag the Bill of Materials for Business Central production BOM migration separately during scoping.

Logo Go

Open AR (Accounts Receivable)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Customer Ledger Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Open AR invoices and credit memos from Logo Go migrate as Business Central Customer Ledger Entries with Document Type (Invoice/Credit Memo), Document No., Posting Date, Due Date, Amount (including VAT), and Remaining Amount. Open entries are identified by Logo Go's unpaid invoice flag. We set the Open flag to true so that Business Central's payment application workflow can match payments post-migration.

Logo Go

Open AP (Accounts Payable)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Vendor Ledger Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Open AP invoices and credit memos from Logo Go migrate as Business Central Vendor Ledger Entries with Document Type, Document No., Posting Date, Due Date, Amount (including VAT), and Remaining Amount. Vendor Ledger Entries are created before any payment runs so that outstanding liabilities are visible in Business Central from day one.

Logo Go

General Journal Entries

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

General Journal Line

1:many
Fully supported

Logo Go journal entries migrate to Business Central General Journal Lines. We preserve G/L Account (debit/credit), amount, posting date, document date, and description. Journal batch name is set to a migration-specific batch for separation from live entries. Period integrity is checked against Business Central's fiscal year configuration; entries outside the open fiscal year require year-end close setup before import.

Logo Go

Fixed Asset Register

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Fixed Asset

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go Fixed Assets migrate to Business Central Fixed Asset records with acquisition date, acquisition cost, depreciation method, useful life, and accumulated depreciation. Depreciation books (one per depreciation convention) migrate as Fixed Asset Depreciation Book entries. We flag every asset for manual reconciliation against the Logo Go fixed asset sub-ledger because depreciation rounding differences between Logo Go and Business Central's depreciation engine are common.

Logo Go

Purchase Order

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open and released Logo Go Purchase Orders migrate to Business Central Purchase Orders with header (vendor, location, currency, payment terms) and line (item number, quantity, unit cost, line discount). Closed and invoiced purchase orders do not migrate as documents; only the AP liability appears in the Vendor Ledger Entry. We flag partially received purchase orders for manual receipt entry alignment in Business Central.

Logo Go

Sales Order

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open and released Logo Go Sales Orders migrate to Business Central Sales Orders with header (customer, ship-to address, currency, payment terms) and line (item number, quantity, unit price, line discount). Partially shipped orders are flagged for receipt alignment. Invoiced orders do not migrate as documents; the AR appears in the Customer Ledger Entry. Completed and cancelled orders do not migrate.

Logo Go

Custom Fields

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Custom Fields / Extension Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Logo Go custom fields are identified during scoping and recreated in Business Central as AL extension fields or as custom fields in the relevant table. Text custom fields map to Business Central Text[100] or BigText depending on length. Numeric custom fields map to Decimal or Integer. We document every custom field's table of origin, data type, and sample values in the mapping specification. Custom fields with picklist values require a separate Value Mapping document.

Logo Go

Tax Configuration

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Tax Setup / Tax Groups

lossy
Fully supported

Logo Go's localized tax codes (KDV, ÖTV, withholding taxes) map to Business Central Tax Groups and Tax Product Posting Groups. Turkish-specific tax codes require a VAT Posting Setup configuration for each Tax Group. Withholding tax codes migrate as separate Tax Type definitions. We document every Logo Go tax code's rate, type, and posting account in the tax mapping section of the scoping document for the customer's tax advisor to validate against Business Central's regional localization.

Logo Go

Dimension / Cost Center

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Dimension

lossy
Fully supported

Logo Go cost center codes and department segments migrate to Business Central Dimensions. Each Logo Go segment (e.g., Department, Project, Section) becomes a Dimension with its values as Dimension Values. Default Dimensions are set at the G/L Account, Customer, Vendor, and Item level per the customer's dimension strategy agreed during scoping.

Logo Go

Bank Account

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Bank Account

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go bank accounts migrate to Business Central Bank Account with bank account number, bank name, SWIFT/BIC, and IBAN. Bank Account Posting Group maps to the reconciliation account. Outstanding checks and deposit-in-transit from Logo Go appear as open Bank Account Ledger Entries in Business Central.

Logo Go

Inventory Transactions

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Item Ledger Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go inventory transactions (receipts, shipments, adjustments) migrate as Business Central Item Ledger Entries with Entry Type (Purchase, Sale, Adjustment, Transfer), Item No., Quantity, Unit Cost, Location Code, and Posting Date. Quantity and cost are preserved for valuation reporting. We do not migrate closed periods' detailed ledger entries; only open quantities and current average costs are carried forward.

Logo Go

User / Owner

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

User

1:1
Fully supported

Logo Go users referenced on transactions migrate as Business Central User records resolved by email match. We extract distinct user references from all transaction tables and match against the destination Business Central User list. Any Logo Go user without a matching Business Central User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before transaction migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Logo Go's limited API requires direct database extraction

    Logo Go's public API documentation is extremely limited, which means standard REST or Bulk API migration tools cannot reliably extract data. We rely on direct database exports (SQL Server or the underlying database Logo Go uses) and CSV extraction where the database is not directly accessible. This requires coordination with the customer's IT team to provide read-only database access or exported CSV files. If Logo Go runs as a hosted or managed instance without direct database access, extraction timelines extend by one to two weeks.

  • Journal entries require manual post-migration reconciliation

    Logo Go stores journal entries with fiscal period references that may not align with Business Central's posting-date and fiscal year model. Entries may have effective dates in closed periods or may use a different fiscal calendar. We migrate journal entry lines with the original posting date and flag any entry that falls outside Business Central's open fiscal year for the customer's finance team to validate. A reconciliation report comparing Logo Go trial balance to Business Central trial balance by account and period is required before go-live.

  • Fixed asset depreciation rounding differences

    Logo Go's depreciation calculation engine may produce slightly different accumulated depreciation amounts than Business Central's depreciation book due to rounding, averaging conventions, and leap-year handling. We migrate fixed assets with their current net book value and accumulated depreciation as of the migration date, but we do not recalculate depreciation history. The customer's finance team reconciles the fixed asset sub-ledger against the G/L Fixed Asset account after migration. Any residual difference is posted as a manual adjustment in Business Central.

  • Custom fields and localized tax configurations are migration-blocking

    Logo Go instances in Turkey and MENA regions typically include heavy custom field usage and localized tax codes (KDV, ÖTV, withholding) that are per-company configuration. These require a manual mapping document before any data extraction begins. If Logo Go uses third-party localization add-ons for tax compliance, those configurations do not have a direct Business Central equivalent and must be recreated in Business Central's regional localization or through a partner-developed extension.

  • Workflows, automations, and report definitions do not migrate

    Logo Go workflows (approval chains, posting routines) and report definitions (custom reports built in Logo Go's report writer) do not have a direct Business Central equivalent. We deliver a written inventory of every active workflow, approval routine, and custom report with its trigger, conditions, and output so that the customer's Business Central partner or admin can rebuild them. Business Central's approval workflow engine and RDLC/Word report layouts are the replacement targets.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Logo Go to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central data migration

  1. Discovery and extraction method assessment

    We audit the Logo Go instance for extraction method viability: direct SQL read access, CSV export capability, or managed-hosting restrictions. We catalog the Chart of Accounts structure (segment count), Customer and Vendor master field count, open AP/AR row count, fixed asset register size, and any active custom fields or third-party add-ons. We also identify the Logo Go version and database platform (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or proprietary). The discovery output is a written extraction method recommendation and a preliminary scope document.

  2. Source data extraction and profiling

    We execute database exports or CSV extraction in coordination with the customer's IT team. Extracted data is profiled for quality: duplicate customer and vendor records, missing required fields, inconsistent date formats, and orphaned transactions. We produce a data quality report identifying duplicates, gaps, and format issues before mapping begins. Data cleansing tasks are assigned to the customer with a due date before the mapping phase.

  3. Schema design and tax configuration mapping

    We design the Business Central destination schema: G/L Account structure with dimension strategy, Customer and Vendor posting groups, Item categories and units of measure, Tax Group and VAT Posting Setup, Fixed Asset depreciation books, and any AL extension fields for Logo Go custom fields. The tax mapping document is shared with the customer's tax advisor for validation. Schema is deployed into a Business Central Sandbox (or the customer's existing Business Central environment) for the customer to review before production migration.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Business Central Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's finance team reconciles trial balance by account and period against the Logo Go trial balance. Fixed assets are reconciled at the net book value level. AP and AR aging reports are compared between Logo Go and Business Central. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or dimension gaps are documented and resolved before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: G/L Account setup (chart of accounts and dimensions), Tax Setup (VAT Posting Groups), Customer and Vendor masters, Item catalog, Fixed Assets, open AP and AR ledger entries, General Journal Lines, Purchase and Sales Orders, and Inventory Ledger Entries. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Closed periods are left as-is; only open and outstanding balances are migrated.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze Logo Go writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Business Central as the system of record. We deliver the workflow and report inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's finance team. We do not rebuild Logo Go workflows as Business Central approval workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.

Strengths

  • Native Turkish e-Document compliance (e-Fatura, e-Defter, e-Arsiv, e-Irsaliye) and GIB integration out of the box
  • Single-platform coverage of finance, accounting, sales, purchasing, inventory and reporting for SMEs
  • Modular 'pay for what you use' licensing keeps entry cost low compared to SAP Business One
  • Integrates with the Logo ecosystem (CRM, Payroll Plus, Mind Insight, Flow) for downstream growth
  • Industry-independent design serves distribution, construction, education, textiles, media and healthcare

Weaknesses

  • Annual LEM maintenance fee is mandatory on top of licence cost; lapsing it breaks compliance updates
  • On-premise Windows architecture lags cloud-first competitors for remote-work and multi-site deployments
  • Public API documentation is sparse; partner integrations rely on App-in-App customisation rather than open REST
  • Heavy Turkish localisation creates friction for multi-country or international expansion
  • Pricing escalates significantly between 1-user and 10-user package tiers, surprising growing customers at renewal

Strengths

  • Tight integration with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint) for users already in the Microsoft ecosystem.
  • Includes Copilot AI, predictive analytics, and embedded Power BI dashboards at no additional cost in both license tiers.
  • Supports multiple companies within a single tenant for holding-company or multi-entity organizational structures.
  • Open REST API v2.0 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and data entity abstraction layer for developer-friendly integrations.
  • Strong partner ecosystem specializing in NAV-to-Business Central migrations provides implementation confidence for legacy upgrades.

Weaknesses

  • Named-user licensing model means every active user account requires a paid license — no concurrent access model to reduce costs for occasional users.
  • SaaS-only deployment means no on-premises option; organizations requiring full data residency control may not have viable alternatives within Microsoft's stack.
  • Manufacturing module (Production Orders, routing, work centers) is only available on Premium tier, pushing cost-sensitive manufacturers to higher-priced plans.
  • Customization and extension development requires AL language knowledge and developer licenses, limiting what power users can do without a partner engagement.
  • Global pricing increases effective October 2024 and again October 2025 after five years of stable pricing, creating budget uncertainty for existing customers.
