Archive/Delete Transaction Data (optional)
You can reduce the time required to complete the conversion process by archiving and deleting as many records as possible before conversion. This action is optional, but recommended.
You can use the following functions to archive and delete data:
GL Transaction Consolidation (25.13.11, glcons.p)
Transaction consolidation should include all accounts and be done for single accounting periods per consolidation.
Warning Do the consolidation by period, not account, and preferably by month as opposed to by year. For consolidation by year, any given account has an opening balance but zero period amount for any period other than the period for the consolidation effective date.
