Run Pre-conversion Utilities
Many changes to existing static data are required before conversion to QAD Enterprise Edition. Some of the utilities described in this section provide the means to perform mass updates, while other utilities are required to create the underlying data used in the conversion.
All of the utilities and reports listed in this section prompt you to specify a report output directory. Once supplied, this location is saved and used as the user default for each subsequent execution of a utility or report. You can change this value and the new value is saved as the new output directory for that user (for example, each user can have a separate output directory location).
Note: The Data Preparation Report is described in more detail in a later section and is the pre-conversion master report. It highlights all data errors and the recommended utilities to correct them. It also highlights which utilities you must run before beginning a conversion. The first time this report is executed, it can produce many errors. To minimize the number of errors in the Data Preparation Report, QAD recommends running the following utilities before the Data Preparation Report:
• Employee Entity (uxempent.p)
• End User Contact (uxendupd.p)
• Control Account Utility (uxctrl.p)
• GL Account/Project Range (uxglproj.p)
• Orphaned Address (uxaddrfix.p)
• Credit Terms (uxcrterms.p)
