ERP migration & parallel run Parallel runs reconciled, differences explained

Old and new ERP compared each period, with every difference explained and tracked to sign-off.

How Spaces helps

ERP migrations usually include a parallel run. Agents reconcile the old ERP against the new one, explain each difference and keep decisions documented through cutover.

Still manual today Parallel-run reconciliation between the legacy and new ERP is manual and ties up scarce people.

Example MarketCo MY intercompany payable differs by 117,680: the old ERP uses a consolidated average rate, the new one the policy month-end rate. Explained and mapped to the rate policy.

Decisions documented through cutover

What the agent does

  • Compares old and new ERP balances by entity, account and period
  • Explains each difference: mapping, timing, configuration or data
  • Tracks differences to resolution, with owners and decisions logged
  • Carries policies and judgment calls into the new ERP with sources attached

How it runs

  1. 01 Connect both Reads trial balances from both ERPs for each parallel period.
  2. 02 Compare Matches accounts through the agreed mapping and lists differences.
  3. 03 Explain Drafts a cause for each difference with cited mapping or configuration evidence.
  4. 04 Sign off Project and finance leads approve resolutions before cutover decisions.
Lighter parallel runs

Reconciliation work is prepared, not hand-built each cycle.

Context carried across

Policies and judgments move to the new ERP with sources.

One close through cutover

Same agents and approvals before and after go-live.
