PM Migrate Data Form

Use this form to migrate legacy RFQs into the new PM Request For Quote form.

Consider the following when migrating RFQs:

  • You can run this process multiple times on a single project, or a company.

  • Any RFQs that have already been migrated to the new form will be ignored by this process.

  • You can run this process at any time - Because RFQs that have already been migrated are ignored and you can run this process multiple times, you can run this process at any time. For example if you migrate all of the RFQs for a specific project but then accidentally enter a new RFQ using the legacy form, you can run the migrate process again to migrate over the new RFQ.

  • Custom fields will be created and the data will be copied - When you run the migration, any custom fields on the PM Request For Quote - 6.6 form will automatically be created on the new PM Request For Quote form, and the data will be copied to the new RFQs.

Follow the steps below to migrate legacy RFQs into the new PM Request For Quote form.

  1. Open the PM Request For Quote form.
  2. Select Tools > Migrate RFQ Data. This will open the PM Migrate Data form.
  3. By default the PM Company and Project field will populate with the current company and project. You can change this information if it does not apply. For example you can remove the value in the Project field if you want to migrate all of the RFQs for a specific company.
  4. Click Validate.
  5. The total number of RFQs that will be migrated displays.
  6. The duplicate RFQs will display in the lower portion of the form. These are RFQs that were created using the legacy PM Request For Quote form that have an RFQ number that has already been assigned to a new RFQ using the PM Request For Quote form.
  7. Assign the duplicate RFQs a new number.

Manually

Use the RFQ column to manually assign a new RFQ number to each duplicate RFQ. For example assign a duplicate RFQ a new RFQ number and then press TAB. The duplicate RFQ will be removed from the list in the lower portion of the form.

Automatically

Check the Generate next available record # for all duplicates box if you would like the system to automatically assign the duplicate RFQs the next available number when they are migrated to the new form.

  1. Click Migrate.
  2. Click Yes on the message that displays.
  3. A message will display the total number of RFQs that have been migrated to the new form.
  4. Open the PM Request For Quote form and verify that the RFQs have migrated correctly. If the system added a new custom field to the PM Request For Quote form, you should move it to the correct location.
