Have you ever wanted to create a new company in Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 and copy the customers, vendors and items from one of your existing companies without the transactions attached to them? This is great for starting a new company in MAS, or even creating a test company with no existing transactions to train with.

For as far back as I can remember of MAS90/200, there has been a hidden utility in Sage ERP MAS 90/200 to accomplish just that.

• First off, make sure that you have your new company setup already with desired modules activated. You then need to make sure that the modules options are already set up as well. Just make sure that your setup options are setup similar to your company you are copying from.
• From within MAS 90/200's File Menu option, select RUN and type in SVTRNA. From here you can select the company you are copying data from and which module you want to copy.

For more instructions on using the utility, use the help button in the lower right hand of the screen when you are in the Copy Masterfile Utility.
