We have been operating a single company with no branches since our go-live about 9 months ago. We are needing to create a new parent company in Acumatica which should not have any transactional data, vendor/customer profiles, etc. The company we have been operating should be a branch with all transactional data and profiles in the branch. Then we’ll add a new branch which also start “blank” with no transactions or profiles. 

 

When I set up a new company in our production tenant, it is automatically populating all the data into that new company. Then any branches under the company also have the same transactional and profile data. 

How do I create “clean” company and branches while keeping all our existing data in a single branch?

Hi ​@sarahbibelhausen 

Just to confirm - when you create a new Company in the same tenant, are you seeing that data such as:
+ Customers
+ Vendors
+ Inventory Items
+ Other master data or profiles

are automatically appearing in the new Company?

If so, this is usually caused by Shared Tables configuration, not because transactional data is being copied.

If your goal is to prevent certain users from seeing specific master data (such as Customers, Vendors, or Inventory Items), you may consider using Row Level Security.

You can go to Row Level Security and configure restrictions for the data that you do not want certain users to see, such as:

+ Customer Access
+ Vendor Access
+ Inventory Item Access
+ Warehouse Access
+ Other master data groups

This allows you to keep the data in the system while controlling which users can view or access it.

 

Best Regards,

NNT

@sarahbibelhausen In Acumatica ERP, a Company is a top-level tenant container. When you create a new company inside the same tenant, the system doesn’t create a “blank shell”—it clones configuration and often transactional context depending on setup, especially if you’re using snapshots or company templates. You cannot move existing transactional data from one company into a branch of another companyBranches are subdivisions within the same company, not containers for migrating existing company-level data.
