How to setup a Business Central instance in the Cloud?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi guys,

I plan to set up a Business Central instance so that a customer could work with it from now on.

I know that there is the "Assisted Setup", with which I can set up a lot.

But I would like to know from you, what I have to set up at least, so that it is possible to make the system work, so for example, it should be possible to do some postings.

How are you starting? Do you have kind of a plan? What do you think would be the individual steps that one would have to go?

So I guess the first step would be, after "installing" BC,  setting up a new company...

Thank you for help and your ideas ;)

    When you create new company, there is an option to create one with setup data only. You can use that.

    Ok, I did not know that.

    So after using that option, I will have a fully equipped system?

    More or less.

    If you want to play around with the system, just do the demo company. Or create company with sample data.
