The Financial Data Manager (FDM) is a set of application tools that work together to automate data exchange between your enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution and whatever other applications you need to synch with on a day-to-day basis, during implementation, when new systems are added, or when existing systems are phased out.
DataConverter™
The DataConverter allows users to setup and execute high-level data conversion plans using a point-and-click, drill-down interface to navigate through multiple servers. Pre-established plans for McKesson’s family of Pathway products are available and can greatly simplify Chart of Account conversions and more.

Importer
The Importer simplifies importing large amounts of data from other systems into the McKesson Pathways Financial Management (PFM) application.
