Re: JBA ML - new g/l company? -- SYSTEM21

Thanks to all for the input.

We will opt for copying their current G/L to a different environment.  Geac
tells us 2/GLU (Save G/L) can be used for exactly that purpose.  They
tested this utility for us on their box yesterday and they're satisfied
that it is working properly.

Let me see if I have this right.
2 environments (say EN1 and EN2) with one company in each (say C1 and
C2 respectively), with EN1 being the current company and C2 being the
sold one.

There are some options.
1) Copy the EN2 environment to create a new (3rd) environment at the
logical point in time.  The New Environment (EN3) could be used as the
static sold one. EN2 could continue as is.
This means you have 2 seperate operations.

2) In the EN1 environment create a new (GL) company, and copy the
chart of accounts.  Use journals to load the opening balances
(PCUPLIFT would be great and it is a freebee from GEAC here).
Loading of Cash Manager, AR and AP would be a pain the the @#$%^, but
it can be done with loads of keying.

3) Absorb the sold company into your current company.  Again there is
keying and journals and takeon of AR and AP and .... and ...

I am doing the same thing and going to the new evironment option (5 of
them!!!)

There may be more options, but without fully understanding how you
want the end result it is difficult.

Regards & best wishes for the festive season.

Michael
