Setup Parties

Learn how to setup a Party, a company in Business Central sharing data with other companies.

A Party is a company in Business Central sharing data with other companies. Each party can send and receive data. All companies involved in data sharing must be set up as a party. Make sure to first setup your own Party code in Pryme Intercompany Setup.

Watch our video how to setup a Party.

Before setting up the parties, ensure a consistent format for Party Codes is chosen. It is recommended to combine a land code with a number for uniqueness and clarity (e.g., UK10, UK11).
