Hi all,

Has anyone used Contoco Demo Tools to generate demo data in a company?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/dynamics365/business-central/contoso-coffee/contoso-coffee-intro

I'm trying to generate Warehouse data into a company only.

When I clicked 'Generate Setup Data', it shows 'Data Level' as Setup Data for all.

When I clicked 'Generate', it shows error message and nothing is done.

How do I just import demo data for warehouse?

I usually just create a new company from scratch because sometimes you get errors like that. It's quite frustrating when preparing some demo data and samples for testing.

You can create a new company from the Companies page:

Select Contoso Sample Data:

Select the relevant modules (if you get errors doing this just select all to start):

If that doesn't work you may need to manually go through the errors such as creating an Item Journal batch with that name. I find sometimes I need a completely new fresh environment with nothing in it in order to get that Contoso data loaded.

And if all else fails I sometimes just make a copy of the standard CRONUS demo company that comes in most environments. It has mostly all the functionality from the Contoso data set.

Best,
