    Hi Michalis,

    Please see the attached file that illustrates one way how you can change your active company.

    Please follow the instructions that Andre provided regarding the setup of the new company and you should be fine.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Andre,

    could you provide me instructions of how to change the active legal entity? This will be helpful.

    Kind Regards,

    Michalis

    Hi Michalis,

    Probably the issue is that you first need to change the current company. If you have created a new legal entity and a chart of account, you first have to change the current active legal entity to the new entity to be able to setup the ledger values.

    Hi Michalis,

    If you are working in USMF contoso company, a CoA should be setup there and the CoA field should show the shared CoA.

    Do you want to change this CoA?

    Probably post some screenprints that illustrate the issue.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hello Ludwig,

    What I want to do is to create a new Ledger and link it to a CoA that I do have developed. For that reason I created a new legal Entity and a new CoA. However when I tried to create a new ledger (General ledger > Setup > Ledger) I am not able to choose my CoA (or any other).

    I am working on the standard demo USMF (Contoso).

    Hello Michalis,

    What do you mean by creating a new ledger?

    Do you want to change an existing chart of account?

    Is something already setup in the ledger form?

    What user rights do you have?
