Sage MAS 90 4.0 Tech Tips from DSD

DSD Sage MAS 90 Tech Tip 43 - How to Copy a Company in Sage MAS 90 4.0

by Jennifer Phillips

The way to copy a company has changed in version 4.0. In prior versions, companies could be copied using the SVDATA utility. This was accessed from the File menu. Now companies are copied with the copy feature in Library Master/Company Maintenance. This simplifies the process, because the “Copy...” button is right on the Company Maintenance window.

To use the Copy function, go to Library Master/Company Maintenance. Enter the Company Code for the destination company and click the “Copy...” button.

If you are trying to copy an existing company to a new company, you will need to create the Company Code for the new company prior to copying. Remember that the company that is displayed on the Company Maintenance window is the destination company. This is different than the old SVDATA program.

On the next window (Copy Data window) select the company, modules and forms that are to be copied. The Data check box for General Ledger will be checked and cannot be cleared. General Ledger is required for any company created.

Click the “Proceed” button and the company will be copied.

This feature is often used to create a test company, to make a copy for Payroll at year-end or to make a quick back up of a company.
