The main overview page walks through the phases: assessment, preparation, cloud migration setup, data replication, upgrade, validation, and completion. The other pages cover specific needs. One lists what data is migrated and how it maps, such as fiscal periods, chart of accounts, dimensions, customers, vendors, inventory, and checkbooks. Another explains how to run and track the migration from the Cloud Migration Management page or the cloud migration API. A video page compares daily GP work with Business Central for users making the switch. Start with the end-to-end overview to understand the sequence. Then read the data migration page to check what will move, and use the management page while running the migration. ## Key points - The overview covers the phases: assessment, preparation, cloud migration setup, data replication, data upgrade, validation, and completion. - A migration assessment tool and an Intelligent Cloud permission set are part of the process. - Migrated data includes fiscal periods (to accounting periods), chart of accounts, dimensions mapping, customer and vendor records, inventory, and checkbook transactions. - The Cloud Migration Management page, or the cloud migration API, is used to set up, run, track, and manage migration. - Management actions include Run Migration Now, Run Data Upgrade Now, Reset Cloud Data, and Disable Cloud Migration. - The Migration Log and Migration Information tiles show migration status. - Videos compare GP and Business Central work for receivables, payables, vendor payments, customer cash receipts, dimensions, journal entries, and reports. ## Learn pages - [Compare Work in Dynamics GP to Business Central](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/migrate-dynamics-gp-videos): Get some tips and tricks for how to do things in Business Central online that you currently do in Dynamics GP. - [Managing Dynamics GP cloud migration](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/migration-manage-gp): Describes the Cloud Migration Management page in Business Central for migrating from Dynamics GP. - [Migrate Dynamics GP data to the cloud](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/migrate-dynamics-gp): Learn how to migrate to the cloud from Dynamics GP using an assisted setup guide in Business Central online.
