Kickstart™
Implementation
Program

You can view an example Chart of Accounts here.

In order to get you up and running so quickly a “fixed” Chart of Accounts is required. You can add as many additional G/L account codes as you like once you’re live (you may have some extra Expense accounts you wish to add), but G/L accounts that are linked to other ledgers in the system are fixed.

If you need to maintain an existing account structure, no problem, just get in touch and we'll discuss a custom implementation with more features than are available with KickStart.

• General Ledger: Opening Balances for each G/L Account (you can post this by previous months if you wish to provide a little extra for reporting)
• Sales Ledger: Any open items for the Customer (including original dates/document #'s/due dates)
• Purchase Ledger: Same as above
• Bank Accounts: An opening balance plus any unreconciled entries

The idea of KickStart is to get you going as quickly as possible. Additional consulting packs can be purchased after go-live to setup/configure/train/support you in this new area

If you really need one of these areas on Day 1, that’s no worry – just get in touch and we can build a custom implementation for you.

The data and system is yours. Once Business Central has been setup/configured you can add extra data as necessary, whenever you like.

Data needs to be with us a week before your KickStart week.  Generally we’d say to give yourselves at least a week for data, so if you signed up on a Monday and data was done for that Friday, your KickStart week could be as soon as just 2 weeks away!

Ultimately though it’s flexible and the KickStart week should be booked at a time where you can give it your full attention. 

If you know you’re going to be busy, make sure you book your KickStart week to give you ample time to cleanse your data. We typically schedule our consulting team a couple of weeks in advance to make sure everything happens on time, so if the deadline is missed it’s likely your KickStart week will have to be moved.

Depending on availability this may be multiple weeks. Moral of the story – don’t miss the data deadline! 

After your KickStart week you can use Business Central immediately.

However, most people will wait and complete month-end on their old system – transfer the opening balances/items – and then start using Business Central in production at the beginning of a new month.

If there’s a gap between when your KickStart week ends and the beginning of the next month (your planned Go-Live), this just means you have more time for testing and playing with Business Central.

We'll not only ensure you have a "sandbox" company that you can train in prior to go-live, but we will ensure you will have that Sandbox for ongoing training and testing as well.
