Hello John,

Directly copying a company from one sandbox to another is not possible.

You have some options to do it:

- Option 1: Export and Import via Configuration Package (RapidStart Services)

- Option 2: Use the “Copy Environment” Feature

I hope I can help.

Regards,

Andres

Hello,

You cannot directly transfer a single company from one sandbox to another, but you can copy an entire sandbox environment—including all companies—using the Admin Center. If you only want to move one company, you’ll need to export its data using a RapidStart or configuration package from the source sandbox and then import it into the target sandbox. Alternatively, you can copy a company within the same environment using the "Copy" function in the Companies page.

May this can help: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/tenant-admin-center-environments-copy

You can only completely copy the environment and then delete the unnecessary companies. . . .

Thanks.

You can't directly transfer a single company between sandboxes, but you can copy the entire sandbox from one environment to another one.

To move just one company, use a configuration package to export and import data manually.
