PJC Upgrade to 5.4

[TheSQL]

Has anyone done a PJC upgrade to 5.4 yet? We're working on one right now - the upgrade is mangling the data...messing around with project statuses, clearing out WIP...all sorts of nasties. Thinking it's <groan><rolleyes>data corruption</groan></rolleyes>, but it would be nice to know how others have fared. Our issues specifically seem to focus around WIP, so if the projects were all accrual method then obviously you won't have had the same problems.

Thanks much.

I have done one, there were not any issue. Your problems may relate to revenue recognition methods and when last it was run, i.e. the upgrade could be forcing revenue recognition.

Hi Ettienne,
Thanks for the quick response!

It's not normal for the upgrade to force revenue recognition, in my experience. Have you run into the forced recognition before? I could always have the revenue and billings processed prior to running the upgrade, if I was a little more confident that everything else was okay!
