Posted on by Rohini Badwe

Hello,

I am working on AX 2012 R3 - CU8.

I don't see an option for "Copy entity data between Companies" in the DIXF module.
Does anybody know where can I find hotfix available for this functionality?

Regards,
Rohini

Hi Rohini,

If you are on AX 2012 R3, you can use DIXF to copy data between companies. Please check here for steps to how this can be done.

Hi Rohini,

As far as I can remember the feature should be present. Can you check if the menu got customized or if you are missing some permissions?

Hi Gunjan, Thanks for your reply

I tried this already to copy the customers from one company to another, However, the copied customer is showing in CustTable, not in the "All Customers" form.

Hi Rohini,

Is there any customization to the form? Please check if any additional data source or filters have been added that is restricting the customers from showing up on the All customers form.

Hi Rohini Badwe,

Just wondering why are you unable to see "Copy entity data between companies" in Data import export framework. Did you check with Admin rights?

Hi Rohini,

Please check the Menu Item > Display > DMFDefinationGroupCompare and DMFDefinationGroupCopy. This is the form name for Copy entity data between the company. You can open it from AOT.
