    Best is to use standard tool which is in NAV. And may be first search through the forum (e.g. by google if the native search is not enough for you).

    Administration - IT Administration - General Setup - Setup Checklist - Functions - Implementation - Data cleaning

    (Form 8600 last tab).

    These objects are part of the RIM package.

    You could use the tool "Data Deletion Tool" that can be found on http://dynamicsuser.net/files/folders/n ... fault.aspx

    What will happen to the financial history of the company? I can understand it if you'd want to have a clean empty test database, but for a production database that doesn't make any sense to me. What happens when you remove all the transactions on January 1st, and a customer calls to ask about an invoice you sent to them on December 28?

    Hi

    Have a look at this post
    http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=119880

    I normally use the data cleaning in the RIM tool - but the test database is essential :wink:

    This is not included in 5.0 NL. Is there a download available or is it included in the 5.1 US?

    Rim V1 was part of 4.0 it's no longer part of 5.0
    So take a look at a 4.0 version.

    Ok, I assume most of the tables are the same.

    With the exception of Daniel, did anyone read this post before replying to it?

    This is not a request to create a new database, this is a request to start a new financial year.

    navuser1, do not delete current transactions, that is not how NAV works. You need to close out the current financial year.

    as far as i understand, you want to create a new company for financial year.

    1. create a new copany
    2. file->database->Informaton. on this form, click "tables" button.
    3. filter your current company name.
    4. filter "No. of Records" fields so that it shows tables which has equal to or more than 1 record.
    5. Copy list of those tables to excel sheet.
    6. delete transaction tables on excel sheet. you will have about 100 master tables.
    7. open 2 nav clients. one for current company, one for new company.
    8. just copy master tables in excel sheet from current company to new company.

    note that in "Analysis View" and "Item Analysis View" tables, you need to zero some fields.

    hope this helps.

    Very interesting indeed.
    I think the thread starter has other objectives that were not mentioned but just requested for assistance on deleting data to create an empty db.
    Why are we assuming & worrying so much?

    1) close previous financial year.
    2) make a copy of the database
    3) consolidate data leaving as little information in the ledgers as you think is ok (you can go as far as consolidate leaving one record per year for each item/account etc) which will shrink the database alot
    4) use this new database for your new financial year
    5) for previous years detailed data retrieval use the copy of old database
