Posted on by FJR

We are currently setting up Business Central in a production environment. We have been testing profusely the functionality of the software, but we have realized we have too many transactions (Sales orders, sales invoices, purchase orders/invoices, G/L entries etc...) and we want to delete it all and start from scratch. Is there a way to do this without coding? We have been using to mainly learn the software and we are to the point where we will soon start testing with actual customers, but would like to have fresh environment to start from.

I see, ok thank you for your help, actually tried that and it didn't move over transactions, which is good enough.

Hi,

Adding more information

You can use the Retention Policy but it will help you delete all your logs.

You can choose below objects to be removed or schedule them.

Hi, I recommend re-creating the environment directly to be more thorough.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

As Kim mentioned its not possible out of the box, but you can try using the following extension which will allow you to delete data from all tables including transactional ones

You can setup a new company and import your master data and associated data. But no way to remove transactions.
