Multi-Company - Can "Master Company" be changed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have created a new app database.  Company 001 and 002.  Company 002 has been set as the Master Company for 001.  Can that be changed?  I need the reverse 001 to be master of 002.  The app database isn't running production data yet, so my guess is we could delete the database as a whole and start over.  As always I appreciate any help.

Thanks!

    I ended up trashing the database and removing the companies from the system database.  Recreated in the proper order and everything appears to be working as expected.  Thanks.

    I changed it once as there iwas NO data in the app database by just swapping them in the company table in the system database.  Can anyone let me know if there any gotchas doing this.

    I'm pretty sure you're going to need to start over. The Master company is the first created and everything remains greyed out in fields related to that.
