Hi there,

So we are using the online version of Business Central, we have several companies setup, these are showing as version NAV18.3.
We are now trying to create a new company, using the "Production - Setup Data Only" but it's showing errors on all lines.
So instead I used the "Create New - No Data" and try to import and apply the config package from another company (NAV18.3), but this also has errors, albeit a lot less than before, so, I used this method again and used the import a predefined package, this is showing version NAV20.0.

My question is is there a reason why this is failing now creating a new company and does anyone else have the same issue ?

These aren't config packages we have created, so I'm assuming Microsoft have as our partner knows nothing about them.

Or is I just use the 20.0 method will this be different from what I'm using now, or should the others be updated, or will this be done automatically ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gareth

Emmm, I tried it in the BC20.1 SaaS W1 version and it does have a problem. This looks like a data problem.

Detials:

When I create a new environment, I always import test data from the Configuration Package, so I didn't notice this problem.

In the Configuration Package, you can find detailed error reasons, then you can try again after updating the data.

Hope this helps.

Thank.

I would recommend that you contact your partner and have them raise a support ticket with Microsoft for this case as long as you are using the online version.

I appreciate the replies, however I, nor anyone employed by us, is going to sit and go through the entire config package in order to correct all the errors.

Also - as I said our partner offers zero support to us, and apparently the rest of their customers - so this would be a dead end, this is why I post in the forum to begin with.

I'm assuming I can create a company with zero data and just import and apply the 20.0 package and this would be the same as creating a company with the data ?

Also what would be the outcome if we applied this 20.0 package to the other companies running 18.3 ? Is this just an update or will this modify data ?

This is just so all companies are using the same version.

Thanks,

Gareth

I am sorry to hear that the partner you are working with is not giving you the support you need. If that is the case you should consider doing a partner change. The way Microsoft is selling Business Central is depending on partners providing good support and service for their customers.
