Conversion process for client IDs

Client IDs and the conversion process

The UltraTax CS Conversion process retains the Client ID from the previous software. If multiple clients share the same Client ID, the process will renumber any duplicates. You will receive a conversion report detailing any renumbered clients.
Every Client ID in UltraTax CS must be unique. If a converted Client ID matches an existing one, UltraTax CS will overwrite the existing client tax data.

Restore clients

When using
File
, then
Restore
to restore converted client data into the application, ensure the client ID does not match any existing IDs in UltraTax CS or Fixed Assets CS. If there is a match, rename the existing client ID in UltraTax CS using
File
, then
Rename
or
File
, then
Save As
before restoring. If you do not rename, and the converted client ID matches an existing one, the following will occur:
  • In UltraTax CS:
    The application will prompt you to overwrite the data with the converted data or to bypass the restore.
  • In Fixed Assets CS:
    The UltraTax CS data will not overwrite existing client data. The application will not prompt you, and the depreciation data at C:\UTConvData will not be restored; the existing data will remain unchanged.
