Company clean up question

I'm working with a client to clean up chart of accounts, vendors, customers, and items.

We want to create a new company with no history.

The plan is to create the new company and activate/set up all modules.

Then, I'll copy the chart of accounts to the new company.  Additionally, I'll copy the Inventory, A/P, and A/R master files using SVTRNA.  I will not bring over IM_ItemWarehouse.  I'm going to import the beginning quantities when we go live with the new company.

Next phase is to delete any obsolete G/L numbers, vendors, customers, and items using the delete/change utilities.

Questions:

1. What's the best way to import qty on hand inventory data (physical count or I/M receipt transaction); we'll turn on the G/L integration - just want to update qty on hand data

2. Can I simply copy the bank rec data folder (i.e. BRABC) from the old company to the new company?

Any other suggestions/thoughts are appreciated.

    You probably want to import with receipt transactions because in a clean system the physical count may not have cost information (unless you have entered std cost when setting up the inventory master.

    I don't see why you couldn't copy the bank rec as long as you make sure you are synchronized with the general ledger balance.  Try it in a test company and see if there is anything unexpected.
