Change company code, AX 2012

Posted on by 2,432

Hi All, 

I need to change the company code from ABCD to ABC.  I want to keep it as 3 digits.  When I right-clicked on the Company field->Record info.  At the RecordID field, I keyed in ABC.  Then clicked on Rename button (2nd screenshot). It didn't work.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can change the company code from 4 to 3 digits or from ABCD to ABC?  Thanks so much!

    Hi Kim,

    Changing the company code is not supported. When you try to do so, it might cause many data issues.

    Hi Kim,

    Is this a newly setup company or one that has already transactions recorded?

    Wouldn't it be easier to simply create a new company ABC and delete the ABCD one (provided that no transactions have been posted and the legal entity has just been created).

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
