Creating a Vendor Master Record Using a Reference 

You can create a master record by referencing an existing one, in which case the system copies certain data from the reference master record. However, the system does not transfer all data; which data is transferred depends on several factors:

When you create a new vendor master record in this way, you can choose whether you want to use the account group of the reference master record. In this case, do not enter an account group for the master record to be created. The system automatically transfers the account group from the reference master record.

You can use a vendor master record from any company code as a reference. The data from the reference is used merely for default values. You should check each screen before saving and, if necessary, add data or change the default data.
