Copying a Document 

Copying a document means that an identical document is created in the specified target folder. The document and the copy can be processed independently of one another. If you want to process the document further, and you want the changes to apply to the copies in other folders, it is recommended that you create links.

If you want to process a document that has already been sent, you can make a copy of the document and make the changes in the copy.

The document header and the contents are copied. Any existing transmission information for the document is not copied to the new document.

To copy a document, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the document.
  2. Select Document ® Move ® Copy
    In the subsequent dialog box, you see the name of the original and a proposal for the name of the copy. The Move to field displays the name of the folder in which the document is currently stored.

    3. If you...

    Then...

    want to rename the copy

    enter the new name in the copy line

    want to change the header of the document to be copied

    select General header and change the name and the title

    want to copy the document into a folder which is not specified as the target folder

    select Target folder and select the required folder

    You can also use Document selection to copy the document as an attachment to an existing SAPoffice document. See also: Creating an Attachment with Move, Copy or Create Link

  3. In the Move to field, the system displays the selected target folder.
    Select Copy.
    The copy procedure is confirmed via a message in the status bar.

Instead of selecting the target folder, you can start the copying procedure immediately. The selected document is then stored as a copy in the original folder.
