Sage 200 migration - Professional to Standard Online

Summary

This article lists features and settings in Sage 200 Professional compared to the Standard Online variant and which can be migrated.

Process

The tables below outline features in Sage 200 Professional and the comparison to Sage 200 Standard Online. It is very important a user understands which features are available in the Standard Online variant and the differences, as certain features would mean a direct migration would not be possible.

If a user is using features which can't be migrated, we would suggest exporting data and importing manually into a blank Standard Online database. It's important to take these carefully into consideration as some aspects can be migrated, but in a more limited version.

CAUTION: The features and settings below are not exhaustive, there may be settings which are not listed below which a customer is making use of, it is a partners responsibility to check which features and settings that are currently being used and if migration is possible directly or with workarounds.

NOTE: Some settings in Professional are hidden in the Standard variant. It is important that that these settings are matched to Standard prior to Migrating, otherwise there could be issues down the line with processing or updates to the software.

TIP: If you are unsure of what some of these settings mean or their affects, please see the Sage 200 Professional help files for more info.
