Dynamics GP Data Cleanup: 70,000 Accounts Reduced Before Business Central Migration

A manufacturing company preparing to move from Dynamics GP to Business Central hit a major roadblock—70,000 outdated accounts cluttering their General Ledger. Without cleanup, migration would be costly and inefficient.

Amber Bell from Training Dynamo explains how she helped clean up their General Ledger, reducing it to just 1,500 essential accounts and empowering the team to take control of their data. By cleaning up unnecessary accounts, vendors, and items ahead of time, the company set itself up for a successful (and more affordable) migration to Business Central.

The Fix:

  • Used custom SQL views to identify outdated accounts.
  • Automated cleanup of unused accounts, vendors, and items.
  • Trained the team to maintain clean data moving forward.
