Re: New company in BPCS

[Bill Brosch <bbrosch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

You're 3 for 3 with me.  Everytime I ask a question, you tell me RTFM (as is
appropriate).

Found the doc, and it covers pretty much everything that I need.

The only thing that they seem to want combined (in the end) is the
financials.  As for the Chart of Accounts, that is one of the very few
things that will be copied over.

Thank you!

Bill
