Moving from BaccS to Business Lite or to BM Online : how to choose and how to transfer data

Manuella Lange

Hello Eugène,

I am a BaccS user via ProZ. As there will be no updates in the future I am considering switching to BMLite. But I have an history in BaccS, + templates + Customer lists + expenses etc...

Is there a way to "migrate" the data from one version to another ?

Or should I consider to buy BM Online ? so to have access to all the features of BaccS ?

Business Manager Lite seems to be a good tool for quotes or invoices but I miss the possibility to add expenses. Even a freelance has expenses, isn'it?

With kind regards, Manuella

    Hello, Manuella,

    Definitely, this feature will be added soon, but today it's not there. Import from BM Lite to full BM is already implemented, but not vice versa. This is due to fact that full version has more data, and something must be lost during data transfer. However, data transfer from Lite to full version seemed possible, so it was implemented.

    We're now planning how to implement it, so in nearest tine I think this feature will be added. But with some limitations.

    As for expenses, yes, maybe it's worth to add them. For now, you're right, Lite version does not allow to add them.

    Underlining, automatic move in today's circumstances seems to be impossible. Can't promise, but maybe it will change in about month. Or two, depending on priorities.

    Not very helpful, I know, but that's the current state.
