      3. Receipts

      4. Purchase Orders

      5. Purchase Invoices

      6. Payments

      7. Related Older Records: Any associated older records linked to the exported data will also be included. For instance, if the specified period encompasses the use of a prepayment from a prior period, the payment corresponding to that older prepayment will be imported, along with any other records that the payment may be connected to. Additionally, if the invoice references an earlier purchase order, it will be included here as well.

3. Data Import into New Database:

   1. All base registers are imported into the new database

4. Stock Balance

   1. Stocktaking records are generated in the existing database

   2. These records are imported into the new database, ensuring the "InStock" column is emptied

   3. Stocktaking Comparison Maintenance:

      1. Maintenance is run in the new database to generate Goods Receipts to establish stock balance

      2. In standard processes, Cost Price is taken from the Item record; however, here it is adjusted to derive from the Weighted Average setting. This setting is imported from the existing database prior to this maintenance run. It can also be modified to another option if required.

5. Additional Register Exports:

   1. Other registers may be added to the export (point 2.d) as needed (e.g., Quotations). Feedback is required on which additional registers might be beneficial for the purge.
