Viewing information about MYOB AE AMS migration

Once the migration process is complete, you can view the migration log at any time in the future from the View migration log option on the Tasks bar. As this option will always be enabled for asset registers that contain migrated data. The migration builds a migration log of messages.

The following situations cause the migration to fail and the Status to show a red X:

Migration has failed	Error written to the Migration log
Internet connection failure while doing migration	Unknown error occurred. In this case the migration may have completed.

These conditions do not stop the migration from completing:

Condition

Warning written to the Migration log

If a sub Asset is migrated then there will be a difference in tally resulting in the warning.

For example, if the ledger has the following:

Asset 1 - Normal Asset
Asset 2 - Control Asset
Asset 3 - Sub Asset
Asset 4 - Sub Asset

Asset 2 control asset will not be migrated. But all the related sub Assets will migrate as normal assets.

In this case the Status shows a Yellow !.

Warning message recorded reads

“Control asset has not been migrated but all its sub assets have been migrated.”

No action is required.

These situations do not stop the migration from completing and the Status shows a Green Tick:

Condition	Message written to the Migration log
Assets that have been sold in the prior year will cause a difference in the tally of the assets.	In this case the Status shows a green tick. No warning is recorded in the log. No action is required.
Ledger has Normal Asset	In this situation no message is written.
Ledger has Control Group with Replacement Value (Depreciation Method)	Control Group has been migrated as Straight Line with 0% rate since Assets does not support Replacement Value.

Errors/warnings in the migration log

Errors in the migration log indicate that the data was not migrated.

Warnings in the migration log indicate that some data was not migrated. This may be due to MYOB Assets Live not supporting migration for such features, for example:

Control asset has not been migrated but all the related sub assets inside it has been migrated.
Asset sold in prior year will not be migrated.
