Migration

Migration to another Mac

The macOS Migration Assistant in Applications/Utilities will transfer all your data to another machine. Migration Assistant Manual

If you want to migrate the data manually, find the correct folder below and copy it to the same place on the new mac.

How to locate the data

Starting with GrandTotal 6 the .grandtotal files are saved in user selected location. If you click on the window title while holding down the ⌘ key, you can display the location in the Finder.

For other applications and older versions of GrandTotal, either download and launch this Application or look for it manually.

App	Data
GrandTotal 6 & newer	Location selected by the user
Discontinued
GrandTotal 3, 4 & 5	~/Library/Application Support/com.mediaatelier.GrandTotal3
GrandTotal 1 & 2	~/Library/Application Support/GrandTotal
Usage	~/Library/Application Support/com.mediaatelier.Usage
Timings	~/Library/Application Support/Timings

Restore from Time Machine or another backup

In case your hard disk or SSD should have a failure, you can restore the data folder using Time Machine or your backup tool. The application (GrandTotal, Timings etc.) needs to be closed first. Time Machine Manual

Import data from SevDesk and LexOffice

GrandTotal can import customers and catalog items directly from SevDesk and LexOffice. Start the import via GrandTotal > Migrate data from.

How it works

Open GrandTotal.
In the GrandTotal menu, choose Migrate data from.
Select SevDesk or LexOffice as the source.
Follow the assistant and provide the service’s API key when prompted.
Start the import.

What is imported

Customers: Master data such as name, address and contact details.
Catalog items: Name, item number, price and EAN (if available).

After completion, the data appears in GrandTotal under Customers and Catalog. Review the imported records and adjust them if needed.
