You can create a new trading contract with reference to an existing trading contract. The copy function enables you to create a trading contract more quickly. It helps you control the process of sales and purchasing activity when you use the trading contract as a pre-contract or a long-term contract.

Trading contract types for copy can be restricted by the following:

• Whether only released contracts can be copied

• Whether schedule line data for delivery is copied
• Whether the referenced document should be updated in the document flow
• Whether batch data is also copied
• How the quantity is copied from the referenced trading contract
• Calculation method of copied quantity (in the original document)
