Question
You are implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central Online for a company. The company is migrating from a previous version of Business Central.
The company wants to migrate historical financial information from the previous fiscal year into the new database, including all analytical information.
You need to migrate data, including analytical information, by using a configuration package.
Which three steps should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
- A. Create a configuration package. Then select the appropriate table. Correct
- B. Export the table from the configuration package to Microsoft Excel. Adjust the file to include dimension information. Import the updated Excel table. Correct
- C. Select the Dimensions as Columns field. Include all the dimension fields in the configuration package. Correct
- D. Export the configuration package.
- E. Assign a data template to the configuration package.
Explanation
You create a configuration package and add the table that holds the financial data, then turn on Dimensions as Columns for that table so the dimension (analytical) values become columns in the package. You then export the table to Excel, fill in the dimension values alongside the data, and import the updated workbook back into the package before applying it. Exporting the whole package as a file only moves the package definition, and a data template supplies default field values for master records, not historical dimension data.
