Does anyone have any experience of changing the a Company’s Name on a production system? One of our sites wants to become a new legal entity but keep all of it’s historical data, hence they want to simply change the Company name rather than create a new company.
The company name can be changed in organisation administration/setup/organisation/legal entities but you cannot change the company account name:
for example you can change “Contoso Entertainment Systems Europe” into “Jimmys New Company” but the account “CEE” is not changeable.
Thanks Manuel - I found the Company Details (I also figure we will probably need to change VAT Number and some Bank Details) - I wondered if there were any obscure settings which might trip us up? Thankfully - we will not have to change the account.
Hi Manuel ,
What is the meaning of CEE is not changeable ?
As you can see in my screenshot you can change the name of the company (Name ändern = change name) but you can not change the company code (CEE) as it is locked (not changeable/editable).
Hi Manuel,
Thanks for your assistance. We have now successfuly changed the Name of the Company - one thing for anyone else to watch out for is the standard text that may be set up for the SL & PL (Setup > Forms > Form setup). This text may contain references to ‘old’ company data such as Name.
Many Thanks - Jim
