It is suggested that customers changing to a different transaction processor at the time of conversion work with their Integration Analyst to determine how the information stored in their database corresponds to the information required below.

Prior to processing these conversion records, the software must be configured as if it were running front desk transactions in a production mode. When these transactions are processed, they are edited and validated as if they were regular transactions. However, the process stops short of actually sending the transaction to Fusebox and the processor. The conversion occurs by populating the fields in the database based on the information provided for those fields and on how the system is configured.

:::::notice{note}
If the user is changing to a different transaction processor, the conversion program should not try to carry over the CPS fields.
