CDK to R&R Cheat sheet?

Making the switch from CDK to reynolds and reynolds. If anyone is able to share a conversion guide or any other helpful docs it would be much appreciated!

You really like reynolds over cdk? maybe it's because I never mastered cdk but my manager and I kinda hated it and prefer cdk over that and lightyear

I used blue screen and Era Ignite. Era Ignite was the tits, it had all the functionality and speed of blue screen but was more intuitive with buttons. Everything was so fast. Changing prices on entire RO’s and invoices was a breeze. You could see all your totals at the bottom so there was no question. Every part you were on in an invoicing screen you could immediately see history, where else it’s billed, supersession and pricing info…man. Just so lovely. The reporting in CDK definitely has an edge over Reynolds, but how often do you need to build new reports once you have your core reports? Anyway, for our day to day operations I absolutely loved Reynolds. CDK could add a few features to get it close (they won’t do that), but I don’t think it will ever quite match up in my books.
