Data migration is a key element for any company moving to a new ERP system.
Ensuring a smooth, and accurate, transition of the required legacy data onto your new platform is crucial in the success of your move to Cloud.
We recently published the Oracle Cloud ERP Data Migration Recommendations and Best Practices White Paper on My Oracle Support (MOS) and on Customer Connect. It offers guidelines and best practices designed to assist customers migrating data from their current legacy systems onto our Cloud ERP platform.
The white paper covers the following subjects:
- Guidance on the approach to convert master and transactional data for business objects in Oracle Cloud Applications, across business functions in Financials, Procurement, Project Portfolio Management, and related HCM business objects (Employees, Locations).
- Details of the Oracle conversion tools available to help accomplish a successful data migration.
- Hints and tips on common data conversion strategies.
- Some data migration best practices based on real life user experiences on Cloud.
- A suggested standard loading sequence when migrating open items across multiple Products.
- Links to additional information to help you migrate your legacy data successfully.
This paper is intended to assist all customers undertaking a migration to Cloud ERP. It covers many Products so not all areas will be relevant to all customers but wherever possible it is written to allow readers to use only the items specific to their requirements.
It is available via MOS note KB44475 or alternatively download the white paper from Customer Connect’s ‘Financials – General’ forum here.
