Sage Line 500 to Sage 200
Moving from Sage Line 500 to Sage 200 means re-mapping a legacy data model onto a SQL-backed mid-market system. We extract from Line 500, map nominals, tax codes and stock structures, and reconcile the result against Line 500's own reports before anything goes live.

Extraction
Full Sage Line 500 extract, checked row by row.
Mapping
Every field mapping written down and signed off.
Reconciliation
Totals tied to Sage Line 500's own reports.
Parallel run
Both systems live until the numbers hold.
What We Map
Nominal and tax codes
Line 500 chart of accounts and tax codes are mapped to Sage 200 equivalents and signed off before the test run.
Stock and price lists
Stock items, bins and price lists are checked for duplicates and orphaned records, then moved with their costings.
Customer and supplier hierarchies
Account groups, credit limits and contact records are mapped explicitly rather than assumed.
Open items
Outstanding invoices, orders and purchase orders are migrated and reconciled to the ledger balance.
Questions
Can we keep our Line 500 history?+
Yes. Opening balances only, year-to-date, or full transaction history are each costed separately, so you choose what history is worth moving.
Do we have to switch on a weekend?+
Cutover is planned at a period boundary. Both systems can run in parallel until a clean reconciliation is confirmed.
