You can create a new company and then use configuration packages to copy master data between the old and new companies.

Hi, can you try Additional Reporting Currency feature first?

If this doesn't meet your needs, you'll have to create a new company and re-import the data you need.

This can be done with the Configuration Package,

or a recent new feature, Master data management.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

Only tool that allows to do this is the "Euro Conversion tool" - used for companies in Europe when the local currency changed to Euro. I assume this can be done to change to other currency.

But other option is as suggested previously , start a new company, migrate master data and opening balances and start from a fresh page.

Hello,

The Easiest way to do this is to create a new company within the same environment and use Configuration worksheet.

This toll will only copy the masters (No Data will be copied over in case Config Worksheet tools). This will also give you an option to ensure that you have a list of table at your hand where you can select and choose which master data you want to carry forward into new company.

Hope this helps.

Regards
