Hello! This is my first post on this forum so go easy on me! :) We are on v9.0.1 and I need to create a new company (which I might be able to copy from another). I first have to check to see if the same AUs are going to be used. I'd rather not copy them over with the company copy and then inactivate them in the new company. This new company will use system codes: GL, AP, CB and RJ. If the company is designated as Test status, is there anyway to truly test the subsystems posting to the GL? I'm guessing no and that that may be the disadvantage. And yes, we do have a test environment, however, we have no way to copy the new company from that environment to our production environment.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

You can restrict the subsystems allowed to post to an account at either the Summary Account, Account, or at the company/accounting unit/account level. Is that what you're looking for?

I realize that, thanks Deron. I guess I'm trying to better understand what the Company status of 'Test' provides. The GL manual states that "you can clear balances and transactions for a company with test status." I'm wondering how you do this and if it's even recommended to use the 'Test' status in the Production environment.

Your lawson admin/dba needs to give you a test prodline for you to play in, just my 2 cents. Production environment is really not fun to test around with. It will only take a few hours to give you a test prodline with mirror production data.

Oh, now I get what you're saying. Posting AP transactions into a "TEST" company in the production environment seems like an invitation to a beating. If you're going to persist with a TEST status company, I strongly recommend you don't send it anything from a subsystem...mock up some journals and load them with system code GL.
