Feature details

We add support for customers who are running Business Central on-premises versions 14, 15, 16, or 17 to migrate their data to version 18 of Business Central online. We will implement the necessary data upgrade logic in the cloud migration tool, so customers don't have to upgrade their older version themselves in order to migrate their data to the latest online release.
