How do we merge multiple companies into a single company in Navision?
What would be the benefits in doing it?Do we need any additional licenses in doing the same?

Hello,
I am afraid there is no standard Function doing a merge like this. Usually you have one company per legal entity. If you merge two companies and now only need one company you need to do a data migration and you will face the same problems as with any other data migration including some extra problems like.
The same master data keys in both companies. The same document numbers being already used in both companies etc.
Saying all that a simple merge is not possible. You should thing of exporting / importing master data (using the RIM Toolkit) Maybe you need to rename some records in one company to avoid conflicts. And then only migrate an opening balance and open entries and save the old company for access to legacy data.
So asking what the benefit is I would say, that there is no benefit and I would only do this, if I would be forced because I do not have a specific legal entitiy anymore.
Best regards
Andreas
It offcourse depends of the current setup and data you have in those diffrent companies but I belive you will have to start with opening ballances in one new Company combineing all diffrent companies. You need to use the Responsibility Center to differ each company.
... This is proberly the only suitable way.
You could try to import transaction from the other companies into the one (by some sneaky ways) but you are on very ricky ground here and as basic never touch the posted transaction we are talking audit trails - GL transactions and potential high risk of jusify the reason!
But before you do the decision to merge you should really consider the legal and control aspect of mergeing everything to one company. I personally would never recomend to have more than one legal company in one NAV company.
From a license point... If you own more than 51% of these companies you should be able to use one license with multiple companies. But to be sure read your License document.
