Key Conversions

Use Key Conversions to change certain numbers or codes in your database to new numbers or codes. The changes that you make with the Key Conversion utility apply to all of the data in your database.

When you run a key conversion, whether by selecting Run or by scheduling the conversion to run on the process server, Vantagepoint creates an entry for the conversion on the Posting Log Review report:

  • Key conversions display with a transaction type of KC.
  • The Comment field displays the type of conversion performed.
Warning: If your company uses an on-premises deployment of Vantagepoint, Deltek strongly recommends that you create a backup copy of your database before running the utility. There is no way to undo this process without a backup database.

If your company has an on-premises deployment of Vantagepoint, your company manages your database backup. If your company has a cloud-based deployment of Vantagepoint, coordinate with Deltek about your database backup.
