New company setup

We currently use Sage Mas500 for three companies. We would like to create a new company and use one of the existing entities as a template so as to avoid manually configuring the various modules. I've read that this may be possible in other versions of Sage but don't know about Sage Mas500.  Would be very interested in hearing if anyone has found a way to accomplish this.

    You can create a new company and use the Assisted Company Setup task.  This has a Copy feature that can be used to copy some of the setups like Payment Terms and Customers from an existing companies to a new one.  It won't do a full company copy but might save you some time if there are similarities between the source and target company.

    Thanks - that probably sounds like the way to go. My IT manager is saying that it could take 50 hours of setup time to create a new company which seems crazy especially since the new company is a duplicate of an existing company. I've worked with other systems that have very close to copy-and-paste functionality to create new companies. Very surprised Sage Mas500 wouldn't have something similar.
