Copying Control 

Use

For actions that copy versions, principally all header, version and item data is copied from the source version to the target version. Exception: technical fields such as, for example, the globally unique identifier (GUID). You can use the copy procedure to exclude individual fields from the copying process.

You define copy procedures in Customizing for Warranty Claim Processing under Copying Control ® Define Copy Procedures. Under Copying Control ® Assign Copy Procedurse to Claim Types you can assign a copy procedure to each copying direction within a claim type.

Features

·        You can exclude the long texts and all the fields of tables PNWTYH (header data), PNWTYV (version data) und PVWTY (item data) from the coping process.

·        The copy procedure is not specifically for an action but specifically for a type of copying direction within a claim type. For example, if you want to copy the version from the claimant (source version) to the version to the reimburser (target version) within a warranty claim type, you can enter a different copy procedure than the one you use for copying the version from the reimburser to the version to the claimant.

·        You can define per copying direction within a warranty claim type whether the prices should also be copied when you copy items or whether new pricing should take place. You can control the copying of prices for the item types MAT, FR and SUBL separately.

·        Furthermore you can define (per copying direction within a warranty claim type) that items, for which a specific field is filled, are not copied. In this way you can, for example, control that an item that has received the decision code rejected in the version form the claimant is not copied to the version to the reimburser during postcrediting.
