Copy Legal Entity
When you need to get a new company ready at short notice, instead of creating and configuring it manually within Dynamics 365, you can utilise the feature Copy Legal Entity feature to complete this task.
Let us jump straight into the steps to do this:
> Data Management > Import/Export > Copy into legal entity tile.

In the entities section, select “Add template” to select templates one by one based on the data that you need. Adding each template will in turn add all the data entities from within the template. The templates selected in this instance are: GL, Bank, AP, Tax, AR, FA, and Projects. Once the scheduled job is run, the data will have been imported into our new legal entity.
