Paste (SAP Library - Budget Control System (BCS))

Paste

Prerequisites

You can only use this function if you have already cut or copied data to the clipboard. For details, see Cut and Copy.

Use

The function Paste lets you insert the values from the clipboard to the selected area on the entry screen.

Where the data is inserted depends on what is in the clipboard and what you have selected (either explicitly or by positioning the cursor) on the entry screen.

What is in the clipboard?	What is selected?
an entire column	You can select either the entire target column or the first cell in that column.
an entire row	You can either select the entire target row (blank row) or position the cursor on the target row in the lead column.
a block within a column	Select the first cell (on the left) of the area where you want to insert the data from the clipboard. The data is inserted there and in the cells to the right.
a block within a row	Select the first cell (on the left) of the area where you want to insert the data from the clipboard. The data is inserted there and in the cells to the right.

Note

If you have explicitly selected a block or entire column, the system ignores the cursor position.

Tips

When using the Paste function, note the following:

You can copy entire rows to the clipboard. If you do, you can only insert the row in a blank row that allows data entry.
The system inserts the characteristic values in the lead columns along with the values in the value columns. However, if you only copied the row, note that the combination of characteristics already exists. You therefore need to change the new row.

If some cells in the target range are in display mode, the values in those cells are not overwritten. However, if you change values that are used to calculate other values, this could also change those calculated values, even if they are in cells that are not ready for input.

The Paste function does not change or delete the content of the clipboard.

Note

If you want to reverse the Cut function, choose Undo entries or the corresponding icon.
