Q What steps need to be taken prior to converting my data files  for the Reporting to the MAX?

A The conversion utility only works with the latest versions of ACTPlus, StoreWare, and FUND Accounting for DOS. Therefore, if you are currently using an older version of the DOS product, you must upgrade to the latest version prior to conversion.

You must also post or clear all transaction batches, pack your DOS data files, and back them up before you convert. If any errors or problems occur while packing your files, you need to address them before proceeding with the conversion.

Finally, the conversion utility places large amounts of data in memory while converting. Make sure you have available at least twice the disk space your current CMS directory uses (or the directory where you store your data files) before starting the conversion.

Note

If you are currently using Multi-Location Inventory with ACTPlus Accounting or StoreWare, and wish to convert to Point of Sale or Accounting for Windows, you must perform a few additional steps prior to conversion. First, transfer all of your Inventory stock items to one location. After transferring the quantities, delete the extra stock item locations. Finally, reindex and pack your data files. You are then ready to start the conversion.
