Migrate from Syscom ERP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Syscom ERP item records (SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, and pricing tiers) map to D365 Released Products with a Product Master dimension group controlling inventory, purchase, sales, and storage dimensions. We preserve the source cost as the Active standard cost on the Released Product and flag any pricing tier records for migration as Sales Price or Purchase Price lines linked to the Trade Agreement Journal in D365.

Syscom ERP BOMs with multi-level component hierarchies map to D365 BOM and Formula records with exploded BOM lines and version control. We extract the full BOM tree recursively, preserving parent-item references, quantity-per, operation-scrap percentages, and route links. Alternative BOMs map to D365 BOM versions with an active flag. BOM costing migrates to the Costing Version and Cost Group in D365 Finance.

Syscom ERP Work Orders map to D365 Production Orders. We extract production status (Scheduled, In Process, Completed), scheduled start and end dates, quantity, and the linked BOM and route references. Operation sequences from the source route map to D365 Job Card routes, and Work Order postings map to inventory posting profiles. Open Production Orders migrate with their current status preserved; closed orders migrate as production history.

Syscom ERP customer records (billing address, shipping address, contact details, credit limit, payment terms) map directly to D365 Customer with address roles, contact information, and a Customer Group assignment. We map the source credit limit to the Credit Limit field on the Customer and preserve any customer-specific pricing as a Trade Agreement record. Customer tax groups are assigned based on the shipping address jurisdiction.

Syscom ERP vendor records map to D365 Vendor with contact information, payment terms, bank details, and a Vendor Group assignment. We preserve vendor-specific notes as free-text fields on the Vendor record. Tax 1099 grouping and WITax code assignments are configured in D365 based on vendor country and type during the mapping phase.

Syscom ERP Sales Order headers and lines migrate to D365 Sales Order with order number, customer reference, header-level charges, and line items (item number, quantity, unit price, line discount). We preserve open order status so that D365 flags which orders remain to be fulfilled and which are historical. Header and line notes migrate as Sales Order header and line text fields. Tax codes map from the source jurisdiction configuration.

Syscom ERP Purchase Order headers and lines map to D365 Purchase Order with vendor reference, expected delivery date, line-item detail, and unit cost. PO status (Open, Received, Invoiced, Closed) is preserved in D365 so that partially received orders reflect their current fulfillment state. Line-item delivery schedules migrate to D365 Delivery Schedule lines if the customer uses multi-delivery date structures.

Current inventory balances migrate to D365 On-hand entries with Site, Warehouse, and Location inventory dimensions. We map Syscom ERP warehouse codes to D365 Warehouse and bin locations, preserving the physical location hierarchy. Inventory value migrates to the Stock Value report and is reconciled against the GL after migration. Historical inventory transactions (movement history) are not migrated by default; we scope this separately if the customer requires full transaction history in D365.

Syscom ERP chart of accounts (account codes, names, types, and parent hierarchy) maps to D365 Main Account with Financial Dimension structure. We preserve active versus inactive status and map the source account type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) to the D365 Main Account type. If the destination D365 entity uses a different financial dimension framework for cost center or department reporting, we flag this as a required mapping decision before the GL load phase.

Syscom ERP multi-currency setup (currency codes, exchange rate tables, and unrealized gain/loss accounts) maps to D365 Currency and Exchange Rate configuration. We map each source currency to its D365 ISO code equivalent, and the exchange rate table loads into the Exchange Rate Entity in D365. Unrealized currency gain and loss accounts from Syscom map to the Realized and Unrealized Exchange Gain/Loss accounts configured in D365 General Ledger.

Syscom ERP user accounts (login credentials, roles, and permissions) map to D365 User records linked to Workers in Human Resources (if the customer licenses HR) or to stand-alone D365 User accounts. We extract role assignments and map them to D365 Security Roles, noting any permission-level gaps where Syscom permissions do not map directly to D365 role-based access. The customer's admin provisions the destination users in Azure Active Directory before migration.

Syscom ERP custom objects and user-defined fields (identified during discovery across active modules) map to D365 custom fields (using the Field workspace for Finance and SCM) or extension objects for Business Central. We pre-create the destination custom field schema in a Sandbox environment, validate the data type mapping (text to text, numeric to decimal, date to date), and import the custom field data as a final object load phase after all standard objects are validated.
