Moving a business unit

In Business Unit Administration (BUA) there is an option to move business units. This allows business units to be moved from one business unit group to another.

Note:  The business unit must be offline prior to moving to ensure operators are not logged in to any functions, or making any data changes. The business unit must also be synchronized.

To move a business unit:

  1. Select the business unit to be moved from the source business unit group.
  2. From the Action menu select Move.
  3. A list of available business unit groups is displayed. Select the target business unit group the business unit is to be moved to.
  4. Click OK to confirm. If the selected target business unit group is a live store, a message is displayed confirming the business unit is to be moved to the selected business unit group. If the target business unit group is a non-packed store, a message is displayed confirming the business unit group will be moved to the store business unit group and that it will be unavailable to users. If the business unit already exists in the target business unit group, an error message is displayed confirming a business unit with the same name already exists in the target business unit and cannot be moved. You will need to delete the business unit from the target business unit group if you want to continue.
  5. Select the Refresh button so that the business unit is visible in the new business unit group. Once the business unit has been successfully moved to the target business unit group, the status of the business unit is set to offline. If required, the status can be manually changed to online.
