Create project, Subproject, Object (freely definable, for the purpose of
identification) – Use create icon in the menu. For example

2. Continue F8, Now you will see series of steps. Select the step and execute
it (Ctrl-F8). In each steps, we will do some activity and save it. Then
system prompts for the next activity.

field and click on source field, now you can see the list of field available,
from which select one which is equal to the field on which you out the

9. Specify files. In this screen, place the cursor on Legacy data, then click
on create button. The system asks for the file name, (the text file, in which
the legacy data is there), enter the file name, description and select Data

as “Field names at the beginning of the file”.

data.
13. Convert data. Here specify the ‘transaction number’ (the number not less
