Hi

Transaction <b>OX02 </b>changes the name.

It is not easy to change your company code to a new one.

You would need to copy your existing company code to the new one and go through the IMG and verify all settings. Then reconfigure all the modules that are using the old company code like purchasing, sales, etc. to point to the new code. Finally, you would need to transfer all the legacy data. Therefore it is far easier to keep the existing company code but give it a new text name.

Copy all the customization in a new client, no transactions and no master data. So you’ll have the same settings with your live system.

Created a new company code with the new currency, and copy all the customization. This step was to minimize step in re-customization.

Uploaded all the master data...and do a new transaction

The suggestion is don't do that in a live system or else you’ll have a big problem then.
