Is there a way by which a Current Business Chart of Accounts, can be Copied or Imported into a New Similar Business, without the need to start from scratch, in setting up a completely new Chart of Accounts ---

> [@Nasho23](#): > > Is there a way by which a Current Business Chart of Accounts, can be Copied or Imported into a New Similar Business, Its probably simpler to create/set up a completely new chart of accounts. The alternative is to backup the current business then create the new one by Add Business - Import Backup but then you have to delete all the current business transactions from the new business to achieve a bare chart of accounts. ---

How does one clear/delete all transactions in a single operation? I notice such an important functionality was requested more than 2 years ago, and there seem to be no progress programming-wise. ---

You cannot do this in a single operation. You need to do it one tab at a time. See [Use the Batch Delete function | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/16464), ---

The “delete batch” function is not available in transaction document tabs like invoices, credit notes etc, thus has limitation in achieving a bare chart of accounts. Pastel Accounting has an option to “clear all transactions” after importing an existing company. I have not lost hope on this functionality!! ---
