Symptom
You have migrated Accounts Payables and Accounts Receivable, however you noticed that it was posted to the wrong Master Data Record.
E.g.: You have a migration file for the following Customer Numbers and Customer Names:
10 Customer A
20 Customer B
30 Customer C
When you migrated it to the system, the system has renumbered to the following numbers:
10 Customer D (a customer that was manually added before the import)
20 Customer A
30 Customer B
40 Customer C
Then, when you imported AR/AP, you changed the file to reflect the Customer IDs that the system used:
10 Customer D open $100
20 Customer A open $105
30 Customer B open $110
40 Customer C open $115
The migration of Open AR/AP looked up the numbers on the original migration template and it got posted to the original customer from the file, and hence the following behavior occurs:
Customer D $100 posted to Customer Account A
Customer A $105 posted to Customer Account B
Customer B $110 posted to Customer Account C
Customer C $115 posted to Customer Account C, because there was no 40 in the original import file.
