Posted on by Faqruddin 1,883
 Hello,
 
I've successfully implemented a new legal entity in D365 development on my local VM. Now, I'm looking to export or copy the specific setup, configuration, and master data of this legal entity to the D365 STANDARD ACCEPTANCE TEST environment in the cloud. Could you please advise on any tools or approaches that could facilitate this process?
 
Regards
Faqruddin

    Hi Faqruddin,

    You can use DMF to export the data in excel from your devBox, then download the file and import it again using DMF in UAT.

    However, it's not a best practice to copy data from dev to UAT. Is this legal entity going to be live? there is usually an environment called golden config where it's filled with all the basic setup needed for live. It would have been better if you did the setup there at first.
