Hi ,

I have prepare a test company with all data: Tems; Vendors; Customers; GL accounts . Now I need to copy the same data to several other companies ( at least 15) , what is the best way to copy all those information in those companies without forgetting something???

All setup should be the same ( Sales setup ; Inventory setup ; Purchase setup ; finance; etc…) . I need a way to startup a company easily and rapidly.

Thanks

Use Data Migration tool of Navision.

Hi,

You can use Setup Checklist for copying setup files from one company to another:

Administration >>Application Setup >> General >>Setup Checklist

And then in Functions>> Copy Data.

Hi In fact what happen is : When I create a company I have to select the company type . Why? I do not want to use RIM at this stage because the company type does not exist in the list.

So I select one type : Wholesale and finally I can see all tables .

However when I copy Item table, I noticed that “Item Unit of measure” does not get populated so how can i solve that?

Thanks

Hi

Use propertie in the table - DATAPERCOMPANY (if it is possible in NAV2009)

Or write this
x.CHANGECOMPANY(‘New Company’);
y.RESET;
IF y.FIND(’-’) THEN
REPEAT
x.TRANSFERFIELDS(y);
x.INSERT;
UNTIL y.NEXT=0
