I believe you will need to enter the marital status info, then proceed with the conversion and then copy those files into the MAS_XXX directory. That is how I have done it in the past.

I just completed my first Go Live on new PR (v2019.1 w/ PR 2.19.3. Prior to re-migration, I had backed up PR_EarningsCode, PR_DeductionCode, PR_Department, PR_CompanyTaxGroup & PR_CompanyTaxGroupRates. After migration, I replaced these files, but when I converted the data, I still needed to key in some marital status configuration and re-key the tax rules in Earnings & Deduction Code Maintenance. Did I not get the procedure right? I was expecting not to have to re-key any of the configuration options again.
Also, I had made some notes from a Sage roundtable that during conversion,there are some mapping .txt files that get written to ..\Home\textout, but I couldn't find any.
