From e-conomic to Business Central: when and how
Companies move from e-conomic to Business Central when accounting is no longer the only thing the system has to do: inventory and item movements, several companies trading with each other, purchase approvals, projects, and integrations to a webshop and 3PL, all in one system.
The move itself is manageable, which is why we made it cheap. We fetch the chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, products, open entries and the entries for the current and two previous financial years through the e-conomic API, map them to Business Central's setup and run a trial conversion you can reconcile before go-live. Fixed price: DKK 10,000 per e-conomic company.
What needs rethinking along the way
Accounts and VAT in a new structure
Business Central links customers, vendors and items to accounts through posting groups. It is not a 1:1 copy of e-conomic, and it is where the VAT return turns out right or wrong.
Dimensions from day one
Departments, projects and cost centres must be on from the first posting, or the reports will never be comparable.
Vouchers and history
Three years of entries are included in the price. The vouchers are not, unless you add them. Danish bookkeeping law requires accounting records to be retrievable for five years, so plan how you keep the rest.
Apps and integrations need replacing
Whatever is connected to e-conomic today, such as a webshop, bank or expenses, has to be connected to Business Central instead. Make the list early.
Several companies
Intercompany trading and group reconciliation need a setup designed from the start, not added afterwards.
Nine signs you've outgrown e-conomic
Growth rarely shows up as a wish for more features. It shows up as spreadsheets beside the system, approvals by email and a month-end close that takes longer and longer.
Several companies, no combined figure
You have several CVR numbers, and the group figure is built in Excel every month instead of coming out of the system.
Intercompany posted twice by hand
When one company sells to another, it is posted manually in both, and the balances are reconciled afterwards.
One dimension isn't enough
You want to see the same entry by department, project, salesperson and customer group at once, not pick one.
Approvals by email and Teams
Invoices and credit notes are approved in an email thread or in the corridor. Nobody can see afterwards who said yes.
Management reporting is an Excel exercise
Every month there is exporting, looking up and copying before management can see the figures.
Public customers require e-invoices
Invoices to the public sector must go through Nemhandel in OIOUBL or Peppol BIS, and it has to be routine, not a special case.
Bank, currency and vouchers take too long
Bank reconciliation, exchange rates and vouchers matched by hand eat the bookkeeper's week.
You want control over who can do what
Role-based permissions, a trail of who changed what, and fewer local workarounds on the side.
Growth, acquisitions or new business lines
Inventory, production, projects or a new company. The simple system becomes a constraint instead of a help.
If you recognise three or four of them, it is time to work out the numbers on a switch. If you recognise six or more, the question is no longer whether but when, and every month of spreadsheets on the side costs more than the switch.
From e-conomic to Business Central
The narrow switch: data fetched via the API, a trial conversion to reconcile, and go-live over a weekend.
- Scoping
Number of companies, financial years and entries, and whether you want add-ons. Then you know the price.
- Trial conversion
Master data, open entries and entries are fetched via the API into a sandbox with a Danish standard setup.
- Reconciliation
You check balances and open entries against e-conomic. We fix things until the figures match.
- Go-live over a weekend
Final conversion, so you close e-conomic on Friday and post in Business Central on Monday.
Good to know
- If all you need is accounting, e-conomic may be enough. Business Central makes sense when inventory, several companies, approvals or integrations need to come together.
- The DKK 10,000 switch is deliberately narrow: data and a Danish standard setup. Training, project management and new functionality are billed by time, or come as part of the starter package.
- Business Central licences are paid per user per month. The licence prices are published on our pricing page, so you can do the sums.

What people often ask us
What do we get for DKK 10,000?
Chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, products, open entries, balances and entries for the current and two previous financial years, up to 200,000 entries, moved to Business Central with a Danish standard setup. First a trial conversion you reconcile, then the final conversion over a weekend. The price is per e-conomic company and excl. VAT.
Why is it so cheap?
Because the switch is narrow and runs on our own conversion tools via the e-conomic API. We earn our money on what you build on top afterwards, such as Continia, not on the move itself.
How does the data get from e-conomic?
We fetch the data directly through the e-conomic API and map it to Business Central's setup. You don't have to export any files yourselves.
Can we switch in the middle of a financial year?
Yes, with an opening balance at the cut-off date. But a year-end or the start of a period makes reconciliation easier, so choose the date carefully.
What happens to our vouchers in e-conomic?
Scanned purchase documents and sales invoices with lines can be added, so they follow the entries. Otherwise they stay in e-conomic. Accounting records must be retrievable for five years, so plan how you keep them before you end the subscription.
Is Business Central too big for us?
Perhaps. If you only need accounting, e-conomic is a good choice. When inventory, several companies, approvals or integrations need to fit together, Business Central is built for it.
What does it cost?
The switch itself costs DKK 10,000 per company, plus any add-ons you choose. If Business Central also needs setting up with training and hypercare, that's the starter package. Business Central and Microsoft 365 licences come on top.
