Copy Control
For Conditions
In this step, you define rules for copying
condition records.
The copy function allows you to copy the data
in an existing condition record to a large number of new condition records to
reduce the time required for maintenance.
The existing condition record contains a
condition type and a condition table which are referred to as the source
condition type and source condition table in the copying rule. In the copying
rules, you make the possible assignments of source condition tables and source
condition types to target condition tables and target condition types.
Actions
1. You should
first check whether the copying rules in the standard SAP R/3 System suit your
requirements.
2. If you want
to define new rules, the following requirements apply:
- If the condition tables differ from the source
condition record and the target condition record then
- only one field may be different in the
condition tables,
- the condition tables must have the same number
of fields.
- For different condition types of the source
condition record and target condition record, the condition types must have
the same calculation type, scale basis, condition class and plus/minus
sign.
3. You define a
new copying rule by assigning the allowed source condition tables and target
condition tables to each other.
In this way, you can
assign several target condition tables to one source condition table. You
characterize one of them as an automatic default. You also decide whether the
validity date of the source record is defaulted in the target records.
Furthermore, you assign an appropriate selection report which allows you to
create a large number of condition records according to certain selection
criteria.
4. Define the
allowed source condition types and target condition types. The system uses
this allocation to check whether you are allowed to copy the selected
condition types.
Note
You can also define your own selection reports,
for example, to use your own selection parameters. In this case, you can use
the standard report RV15CC01 for copying. In this report, you also find notes
on creating a new report. The name of your report should start with the letter
"Z".
