Sage does the accounting job well until the business outgrows it — multiple warehouses, real manufacturing, tighter stock control, group consolidation, proper approval procedures. At that point the move to SAP Business One is a business decision, and the migration becomes the risk.
The risk is specific. Sage's nominal ledger is a flat numeric code list; SAP Business One expects a segmented chart of accounts organised into five drawers with active and title accounts. Sage 50 stores customers and suppliers with account references your team has used for years and knows by heart. Sage 200 adds analysis codes, nominal analysis on transaction lines, stock traceability and multi-company structures that have to land somewhere sensible. Aged debtors and aged creditors have to arrive as open items that produce the same ageing on day one, not just the same total.
Do this with spreadsheets and a generic import wizard and you get a system that balances in total but is wrong in detail — the aged debtors report disagrees with Sage by a few hundred pounds, three suppliers have the wrong control account, and stock value is right while quantity per warehouse is not.
This is a build-to-order toolkit. There is no download and no ready-made product. After a scoping call we build a migration engine against your Sage export shapes — Sage 50 or Sage 200 — and your target SAP Business One company database, then install it and run it with you.
We create User-Defined Tables (UDTs) inside the SAP B1 company database that hold the Sage export exactly as extracted, untransformed. Each created SAP Business One record carries its Sage account reference or transaction number in a User-Defined Field (UDF), so a Business Partner in SAP B1 can always be traced back to its Sage account. Mapping — nominal code to SAP B1 account, tax code to VAT group, stock category to item group, analysis code to dimension or UDF — is held in UDO-backed forms your accountant can review and edit directly in SAP Business One.
The Sage nominal ledger is restructured into SAP Business One's segmented ChartOfAccounts across the five drawers, preserving the reporting hierarchy your management accounts depend on. Where Sage cost centres and departments are in use, they map to profit centres and dimensions rather than being flattened into account codes. Opening balances are posted as balanced JournalEntries, with debtors and creditors posted via their control accounts so the subsidiary ledgers and the nominal agree from the first day.
Sage customers and suppliers become SAP Business One Business Partners through the Service Layer, with delivery and invoice addresses, contacts, credit limits, payment terms, settlement discount terms, default nominal/control accounts, and price list assignment. Sage stock records become Items with stock categories mapped to item groups, units of measure and UoM groups, barcodes, reorder levels, supplier part numbers, and per-warehouse rows. Sage price lists, customer-specific prices and discount structures are migrated to SAP B1 price lists and special prices.
Outstanding sales and purchase transactions are migrated as open A/R Invoices, A/R Credit Memos, A/P Invoices and A/P Credit Memos at their remaining balance, keeping the original Sage document number and document date in UDFs so ageing buckets reproduce exactly. Unallocated receipts and payments are brought across as unapplied incoming and outgoing payments so allocation can continue naturally in SAP Business One. Open sales orders and purchase orders are migrated with delivered and received quantities so only genuinely outstanding quantity remains open. Foreign-currency documents carry original currency, base amount and rate.
Stock is loaded per Warehouse using InventoryPostings (or opening goods receipts against a suspense account, depending on how you want the audit trail to read), honouring the valuation method configured in SAP Business One — moving average, standard cost or FIFO layers. Batch and serial numbers with their attributes and expiry dates are migrated where you track them, and bin locations where bin management is enabled.
Tax codes are mapped explicitly rather than assumed. Sage T-codes map to SAP Business One VAT groups with the correct rate, effective dates and reporting boxes, so the first VAT return produced from SAP B1 reconciles to what the business expects. Where you file digitally, we make sure the tax group configuration supports the return your accountant submits.
Every run produces a reconciliation pack, delivered as Crystal Reports inside SAP Business One: record counts and totals per object, aged debtors and aged creditors compared against the Sage ageing at cutover date, a trial-balance comparison, stock quantity and value per warehouse, and an exception list naming every record that did not convert and why.
Sage 50 and Sage 200 users moving to SAP Business One 10.0 — typically businesses with growing stock complexity, multiple locations, or a group structure that Sage handles awkwardly. It fits companies where the finance team will not accept re-keying the ledger and where the first VAT return and the first month-end close after cutover have to be defensible.
Delivered as a SAP Business One add-on using the Service Layer (REST/OData) for bulk object creation, the DI API where the Service Layer does not expose an object or field, and UDT/UDF/UDO extensibility for staging, mapping and traceability. Compatible with SAP Business One 10.0 on Microsoft SQL Server and SAP HANA, on-premise or cloud-hosted. Installed per tenant into your test company database first, and into production only once you have signed off reconciliation. Where approval procedures and Crystal Reports are part of your target configuration, the migration is built to respect them rather than bypass them.
1. Scoping call — we review your actual Sage exports, transaction volumes, nominal structure, VAT codes, stock model and multi-company setup. You receive a written mapping document. 2. Fixed quote — fixed price and delivery date against that agreed scope. 3. Build — typical lead time 2 to 4 weeks depending on object count, Sage version and whether analysis codes and multi-company are in scope. 4. Install in test — installed into your test company database, full trial migration run, reconciliation pack handed to your accountant. 5. Iterate — mapping corrections and re-runs are part of the engagement. Because raw data sits in staging tables, a re-run is a reload, not a rebuild. 6. Production cutover — final run at the agreed cutover date into the production company database, reconciliation signed off before users are let in. 7. Support window — an included post-go-live period so anything found during the first VAT return and first close is fixed by the team that built it.
A short call to confirm the workflow, your platform version and where the integration boundaries sit.
You receive a written scope and a fixed price. Nothing is built until you approve it.
We develop against a copy of your configuration and test it there. Typically two to four weeks.
We install on your instance, hand over the source, and support it for twelve months.
They have closed every month in Sage for years and know what the aged debtors report should say. This toolkit reproduces ageing from open items with original document dates, and hands them a Crystal report comparing SAP B1 against Sage before production cutover is approved.
Their reason for leaving Sage is usually stock — multiple warehouses, batches, bins, traceability. Stock is loaded per warehouse with the configured valuation method, batch and serial attributes and bin locations intact, so quantity and value are both correct on day one, not just the total.
They approved the SAP Business One investment and are exposed if the first close after go-live is a mess. A fixed quote after scoping, unlimited trial runs into a test company database and signed-off reconciliation before production means the cutover date is a decision, not a gamble.
