How to copy all data for a module other than General Ledger or Common Information, from one company code into another company code
Description
Cause

The Copy function in Company Maintenance automatically selects the Common Information (C/I) and General Ledger (G/L) modules when any other module selected for copying. Therefore, it is not possible to copy only one module - such as Payroll (P/R) or Sales Order (S/O) - without also copying C/I and G/L.

Resolution
[BCB:1:Backup warning:ECB]

Use a third, temporary company code to hold C/I and G/L information from the destination company:

  1. Open Library Master, Main menu, Company Maintenance
  2. Create a new third, Temporary company code (other than the Source company code or the Destination company code).
  3. Copy data for only the Common Information and General Ledger modules from the Destination company code to the Temporary company code.
  4. Copy the data for desired module(s) along with Common Information and General Ledger (as they will automatically be selected), from the Source company code to the Destination company code
  5. Copy back the data for only the Common Information and General Ledger modules, from the Temporary company code to the Destination company code
  6. Delete the Temporary company code
