Family First Payroll - Unable to upgrade at this time

SUGGESTED

We have several clients that their systems have modifications and will not be able to upgrade until the mods are written for the current version.  Our thoughts are to install the newer version of Sage so they can use it to process their payroll and journal the payroll entries into their live company.  Then once their mods are ready, reconvert so they are operating in one system.  Can we make a copy of their PRXXX folder in the new version, convert and then copy the PRXXX folder back in? 

I do realize that they will have to be very diligent with doing the journal entries so that the GL and Payroll match.

Thoughts...

    Sage 100 Payroll 2.18 and beyond can be upgraded independently of the rest of Sage 100, so if the mods are not in Payroll you should be able to upgrade your customers.

    Elliott,

    I am guessing Sue's customers are on a pre-PR 2.0 system. 

    (We have one customer still running 2013 because of a deeply customized CRM integration that is expensive to replace / upgrade... Canadian, so PR is not applicable, but is an example of how customized systems can delay upgrades for a long time).

    My thought (if you need to run split systems) is to use a separate company code on the new version, then when you eventually migrate, you don't need to fuss with merging the company data and the history has full (separate) integrity.  We had to run a split system for a customer once (who was sold Premium 2yrs prior to PR 2.0 being ready), and this is the approach we took.

    You are correct about the modifications.  They are in the queue but it's months away.  I thought about doing a different company code.  I'm not sure how the client will feel about that.

    Our thought when doing our split was to make things clear to any auditor looking at things later.  Paperless PDF's will be marked separately, to be clear how things were processed.
