making a copy of existing Accpac company

[jeon]

hello

Happy New Year!

We're using Sage 300 ERP (formerly Sage ERP Accpac 500).
How can we copy the Accpac setup from an existing company to a new company (assuming the SQL database as well as entry in Database Setup has been created)?
Database Copy/Dump will copy everything from the existing company (including data such as check history etc.), but we only need the setup (e.g. Payroll Setup for US Payroll, G/L Accounts etc.).

It will take some time to comb through each subcategory under every module in the new company, if we were to check and enter what we need individually.
Though there is an Import/Export option on File menu for some of the forms, not all.

Would you be able to advise?

Thank you for your time and help.

It is a manual process of export/import the relevant master file data, or write your own copy company routines if you have really good VBA skills.
