Is it possible to copy G/L and posting groups to another company?

Posted on by JR61 138
Hi,
I want to create a new company in Business Central that should have the exact same G/L records, posting groups, vat settings etc. as an existing company (in the same environment). How can I do this?
 
I know there is an option to copy an existing company, but this also copies all of the data in the existing company (posted invoices etc.) and I do not want this.
 
Any help would be much appreciated.

    Configuration packages are the obvuous answer here.
     
    I am a little bit surprised though that nobody refers to the Configuration Worksheet.
    This will allow for the Copy Data from Company function: which is so much more performant than the tedious shifts with Excel-files.

    Thank you so much for your help. I wasn't aware of the configuration packages feature, but now I am :)

    Configuration packages gets my vote also. We have multiple companies and this is what we use to add records across all companies.

    Personally, I also recommend using Configuration Packages, but if you need to challenge other functions, you can try Master data management.
    More details: Business Central 2023 wave 1 (BC22) new features: Set up and sync master data across companies (Master data management)
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
