Copying Objects

Procedure

Copy organizational units, jobs, positions, and work centers if you want to create new objects by duplicating objects that already exist. Creating objects by copying can save you data entry time. To copy tasks, see Copying Tasks.

When you copy objects, you can also copy all appended infotypes. This can be helpful if objects have the same attributes. The report RHCOPY10 (Copy Object Using Selection List) also allows you to copy objects.
