Hi,
Our company went live with ByDesign on October 1st, 2014. For one of our subsidiaries, we started doing order management in ByDesign, but kept all accounting in the existing system.
We run a single ByD tenant with 4 (soon 5) localizations, and an Org Structure that includes 10 legal entities, 9 of which are fully managed in ByD, and the one I am discussing here.
In ByDesign, we have the relevant localization enabled, there is an org structure for this subsidiary (in our main ByD tenant) - not linked to the rest of the Org Structure (so we essentially have 2 Org Structures in ByD) - there are sets of books and charts of accounts for this entity, etc.
Since going live, we have created Sales orders, purchase orders and customer invoices in this company, but the actual accounting and financial management is still being done in a legacy system. So customer invoices do not show as paid in ByD, no CoGS posting have been made, assets are not managed in ByD, etc...
It is our intent to migrate the financial and management accounting for this company to ByDesign in the coming weeks, with an expected "go live" date on 1-Apr-16.
The question for which we would like some advice is the following:
Should we create a new Org Structure for this Company, and migrate opening balances and open position from the existing system into the new structure, or is it worth exploring to somehow clean up the current structure an migrate balances and open positions into that?
Our own intuition is to start with a new structure.
Thanks & best regards,
Eelco
