ERP Data Migration & Reconciliation

Move ERP data with reconciliation built into the migration.

Control ERP data transition through explicit scope, mapping, cleansing, trial loads, validation and financial reconciliation—not record counts alone.

Controlled ERP data migration and reconciliation flowA baselined source moves through controlled mapping and trial loads to the target ERP. A reconciliation loop compares the target with the accepted source baseline before sign-off.Source baselineProfile + scopeMap + cleanseTrial + validateOwn exceptionsTarget ERPAccepted stateReconcile · investigate · sign off

When loading records is not enough

Start with business meaning, acceptance and the source baseline.

A controlled migration makes every scope, mapping and exception decision visible before finance or operations is asked to trust the target system.

  • Source master data, open transactions and history contain inconsistencies that cannot be carried forward blindly.
  • Source and target structures represent accounts, dimensions, customers, items or transaction state differently.
  • Finance needs evidence that balances and operational meaning remain correct after transformation.
  • Trial loads are finding exceptions, but ownership, disposition and acceptance criteria are unclear.

Migration scope

Define the data decision and its acceptance evidence.

Data decision

Define what migrates, what remains accessible, what is archived and what is retired for each company, domain and historical period.

Mapping and cleansing

Make source-to-target meaning, transformation rules, defaults, enrichment and exception treatment explicit and reviewable.

Reconciliation and acceptance

Agree control totals, representative records, financial tie-outs, exception thresholds and accountable sign-off before cutover.

Migration controls

Make transformation, exception handling and sign-off reproducible.

Baseline the source

Profile completeness, duplicates, invalid values, balances and extract timing so the migration starts from a known state.

Transform deterministically

Version mappings and transformation rules so each target value can be traced to its source and approved decision.

Learn through trial loads

Repeat representative loads, retain rejected records and assign every material exception a disposition and owner.

Reconcile business state

Compare balances, control totals, relationships and representative transactions instead of treating matching record counts as acceptance.

Data migration method

Move from a known source to a reconciled target.

  1. Profile

    Inspect source data, constraints, quality patterns and extraction boundaries.

  2. Scope

    Approve migration, retention, archive and retirement decisions by data domain.

  3. Map

    Define target meaning, transformation, cleansing and exception rules.

  4. Trial

    Run repeatable loads and investigate rejected, missing, duplicated or changed records.

  5. Reconcile

    Tie control totals and representative business state back to the accepted baseline.

  6. Cut over

    Execute the final load with entry criteria, checkpoints, sign-off and a documented recovery decision.

Migration outputs

Leave a traceable path from source scope to cutover sign-off.

  • Source inventory, profile and approved migration scope
  • Source-to-target mapping and transformation specification
  • Cleansing rules and owned exception backlog
  • Trial-load results with repeatable validation evidence
  • Financial and operational reconciliation workbook
  • Cutover, sign-off and recovery runbook
