FAQs:
1. Will all the expenses created prior to the migration still remain after?
Yes, none of the expenses created prior to the migration will be deleted.
2. Is it crucial to have all Expenses Reported?
Yes, for expenses to be successfully exported to Netsuite, the source of all inbound (to Rydoo) masterdata should be synced from Netsuite. Consequently, all expenses created prior to the migration should be set as reported.
3. Should all the masterdata prior to the migration be set as inactive?
Yes, all masterdata including users should be set as inactive. Users should not be able to create new expenses during the migration process. All other masterdata (groups, projects, tax etc) would no longer be relevant as the source of the data would not be from Netsuite prior to the migration.
NOTE: New data will be created in Rydoo from Netsuite for Projects, Groups, Tax rates, Expense Categories. However, the user data will be automatically linked to Netsuite employees after syncing from Netsuite. There will be no duplicate users created.
