Explanation

Duplicating a Company in Dynamics 365 Business Central

The Correct Sequence

1. Open the Companies page

This is the mandatory entry point. Company management in Business Central is handled through the Companies list page (accessible via Settings > Companies or by searching "Companies"). You cannot access copy functionality without first navigating here - it's the administrative hub for all company-level operations.

2. Select a company to copy

You must highlight the source company before any copy action becomes available. The Copy function is context-sensitive - it acts on whichever company row is currently selected. Skipping this or selecting the wrong company means you'll duplicate the wrong data set.

3. Select the Copy function

With the source company selected, you invoke the Copy action from the ribbon/action bar. This opens a dialog that scaffolds the duplication process - it does not immediately create anything. It is triggered after selection because the UI only enables this action when a valid company is highlighted.

4. Add the new company name

Inside the Copy dialog, you provide the name for the destination company. Business Central uses this name to create the new company record and copies the source data into it. This is last because you can't name something that hasn't been initiated yet.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Item	Why Excluded
Use the New function	Creates a blank company, not a copy - wrong tool for duplication
Open the assisted setup page	Used for guided onboarding/configuration, not company copying
Open the data migration task	For importing external data, not internal company duplication
Select tables to copy	This granular table selection is not part of the standard Company Copy wizard in Business Central

Common Misconceptions

"Use the New function" is the most common trap. Students confuse creating a company with duplicating one. New gives you a blank slate; Copy replicates master data, setup tables, and configuration.
Assisted Setup sounds relevant but it's a post-creation configuration wizard, not a duplication mechanism.
Some candidates expect a table-selection step - this exists in data migration tools, not the copy workflow. The Copy function transfers the full company configuration automatically.
