Move from Sage 200 to Sage 50

SOLVED

Hi there

Our company has been using Sage 200 Extra 2015 & are considering moving to Sage 50 to fall in line with the software that our sister company is using and (hopefully) to save a substantial amount of money over the year!

Our Sage 200 needs replaced imminently as it will no longer be supported. I don't think we use a lot of the features of Sage 200 but we do use it for stock control and have 3 stock locations. I understand that Sage 50 is unable to cope with multiple stock locations, but has anyone found a work around for this - perhaps using the cost centres as locations? 

And our current business partner for Sage 200 says that moving from 200 to 50 is quite complicated (I believe the 2 use different platforms for the data) - has anyone got some experience of doing this & how did it work out? (I'm not doubting it is complicated, I just want to be aware of the pitfalls)

Thanks

Audrey
