Moving a per diem to another company

When you have multiple companies set up in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you sometimes need to transfer a per diem in Continia Expense Management from one company to another. This occurs when Expense Management is configured to import all per diems to a specific company, or if someone mistakenly sends a per diem to the wrong company.

Important

You must have more than one company set up and activated in Business Central – otherwise, the Move to Company field is not visible. Moreover, Expense Management must be installed, activated, and properly set up in all the relevant companies that you want to move per diems between.

To manually move a per diem from one company to another:

  1. In Business Central, search () for and select Expenses.
  2. In the document list, select the document that you want to move.
  3. On the action bar, click Actions > Functions > Move to Company.
  4. On the Move to Company page, in the Name column, select the name of the company that you want to move the selected document to.
  5. If the document transfer was successful, a dialog box confirms that the selected document was moved to the selected company. Click OK to close the dialog and return to the document page.

Note

If the document transfer encounters an error in step 5, a dialog box with an error message appears. This is likely due to Expense Management not being activated or correctly set up in the destination company.

To resolve this issue, click OK to close the dialog, then ensure that Expense Management is activated and fully functional in all relevant companies.
