Dynamics NAV to Xero

Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Xero Migration Specialists

Historical Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Navision migration into Xero with report-led extraction, mapping, reconciliation and support.

What we migrate

Keep the accounting history your finance team still needs.

Source-system expertise

A controlled extraction from NAV, followed by accounting-led mapping into Xero.

NAV data extraction is normally based on a set of agreed standard and additional reports or exports. We define what is required before the migration begins.

The accounting structure is then mapped into Xero, including the Chart of Accounts, contacts, transaction history and analysis fields that need to remain usable.

We validate the migrated position against the source and document exceptions rather than assuming every legacy treatment can be recreated identically.

What we deliberately check

  • Trial Balance and control accounts
  • Aged Receivables and Payables
  • VAT / tax position and mapping
  • Foreign currency where applicable
  • Analysis / tracking structure
  • Material source-data exceptions
Our process

From source system to reconciled Xero organisation.

The mechanics vary by source system, but the control points stay consistent.

01

Scope

History, entities, volumes, FX, tracking, attachments and timing.

02

Extract

Collect the source data using the appropriate reports or access route.

03

Map

Agree Chart of Accounts, contacts, tracking and restructuring.

04

Migrate

Load the agreed historical data into a controlled Xero organisation.

05

Reconcile

Compare the result to the source and document exceptions before handover.

Important differences

Not everything should be copied one-for-one.

  • NAV dimensions and analysis codes may need consolidation.
  • Operational modules and inventory detail need separate review.
  • Direct or unusual historical postings can require a different treatment in Xero.
Handover

Migration evidence, not just an import.

Depending on scope, the handover can include source-to-Xero Trial Balance comparison, aged-ledger checks, VAT review, migration workings, mapping schedules and documented exceptions.

Many projects also include training, first VAT return assistance and a period of post-go-live email support.

Data extraction

What we need from you to extract the data.

We use a preferred extraction route for each source system because it gives us the detail needed to rebuild and reconcile the history properly.

Preferred method
Jet Reports

We handle the technical extraction work wherever possible, so your finance team is not left building migration templates.

How it works

For Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Navision, our preferred extraction method uses Jet Reports. This gives us a controlled way to obtain the detailed accounting reports and historical transaction data needed for the migration.

Preferred, not mandatory. Jet Reports is our preferred route, but it is not the only possible route. If the licence or setup is not available, we can review other reporting and export options.
