Subject: Converting a Company to a branch and vise versa

We are in the process of acquiring a new company and will be putting that company into JDE. At this time, we are not sure if they will be a separate company or be a branch plant. We are leaning towards setting them up as a company because of their tax id. If we set them up as a company now, can they be changed to a branch plant at a later time? If so, how?

Also, if they are initially setup as a branch, can the branch be changed to a separate company? Which option is best?
 
Both options are feasible. Which modules are you using? For G/L there is a document 664718.1 which explains how to change the company for a business unit . On the distribution/mfg modules you would have to change the AAIs, sql any open orders with the new company etc.
Not sure which option is best other than to choose one option and stick with it rather than have to change it later though it is feasible to change.
There may be some useful info here.
