Renaming a Company

(0) ShareShare

Hi:

What is the safest means of renaming a company, within Business Central?

I have a test company containing master data.

I would prefer that users access other test companies for testing transactions, rather than doing so within this "master" test company. 

So, I want to place the phrase "DO NOT ENTER" as a part of its name.

Thanks!

John

    Hi, first you cannot rename the company in BC.

    "You cannot rename this company due to the impact on performance. Instead, change the Display Name."

    As the error message says, you can modify the Display Name, which is actually what the user sees.

    More details:

    In addition, although the length is limited, you can also use the Company Badge to remind users.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
