Setting up customers and vendors on a new company in Macola progression 7.8.200

[sans2174]

Hi There,
We currently use macola progression 7.8.200. We have 1 main company on our macola and multiple copy of the main company as monthly historical company.
We wanted another new company(different from Main company) which will have it's own customers, vendors. So I created a new company, just empty new company.The CFO created the GL codes, but when we try to create customers under AR customer maintain or Vendors under AP,we get a message
"You need to run setup program for this package before running any application"
Not sure what setup needs to be run.Will appreciate any help.
Thanks

I would suggest that you need your Macola consultants help. Having said that, you would first want to open the Maintain menu in each package (You mention AR) and start from the bottom menu option and fill in all of the data and save the settings, then work your way up the menu. These are your control files. On nice feature of progression was these were in a hierarchical order (bottom up). Once these have been entered, you can then enter customers, or if you were in AP Vendors. You could open the screens in your running company, then re-enter in the new. It is always a good idea to read them and get a good understanding what each field means and what they do. Even for companies that have been up a running, it is not a bad idea to revisit them every so often and get an understanding of the choices that have been made, and perhaps making a few adjustments.
Hope this helps.

It means AP and AR setup should be performed before you can add vendors and customers, respectively.

Similarly, you'll need to perform IM setup before you can create items.

As you set these up you'll run into lots of roadblocks. You must set up terms codes, vendor types, ship via codes, etc., etc. before you can finish the module setups. A call to your reseller is a pretty good idea to be honest.
