Prepare for the DacEasy Conversion
To ensure a successful conversion, we recommend that you follow a few guidelines to prepare for the DacEasy Conversion.
- Read the DacEasy Conversion Guide. You can view or print this guide by going to your Sage 50 directory on your hard drive, selecting your company folder and then the Doc folder. The conversion guide is named Dac2paw.pdf.
- Post to the General Ledger before conversion.
- Make sure that any Accounting, Point of Sale, or Order Entry company has a chart of accounts set up in DacEasy.
- In DacEasy, print the following reports:
- Income Statement
- Balance Sheet
- Trial Balance
- Chart of Accounts
- General Ledger
- Customer Directory
- Vendor Directory
- Employee Directory
- Payroll Journal
- Product Listing
- Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable reports
- Some of these reports will be used to verify records and enter information into Sage 50 after the conversion.
- Disable your virus protection software after you have verified that your hard drive and any backups are virus free.
- Turn off your screen saver.
- Don’t immediately delete DacEasy files! You may want to refer to a transaction or other detailed information over the course of the next few weeks as you begin using Sage 50.
- Back up all of your DacEasy files. In case you have any problems during the conversion, you will want a good backup.
- Register your Sage 50 product.
Tip: Posting prior to conversion is paramount to a more accurate conversion.
If you used Payroll in DacEasy, make sure that at least one department is set up.
