Example: Copying Including Subordinate Objects
You want to make a multi-level copy of an operation. To do this you must first delete all object types from the
copy range and then include the operation object type in the copy range. The system automatically adds the superior object types routing header and sequence to the copy range.You want the copy to include the production resources and tools (PRTs) assigned to the operation. You therefore also need to include the PRTs object type in the copy range (see graphic 1).
Graphic 1: Copy Range
You now multi-level copy operation B0-10 from sequence B0 of routing B to sequence A0 of routing A. To do this select operation B0-10 in the EWB: Operations overview screen, enter header A and sequence A0 in the context of the EWB Copy – Target data dialog box and A0-15 as the operation ID for the new operation. In the EWB: Assign New Operation Number dialog box, you confirm the proposed operation numbers or change them as required. You then set the Multi-level copy indicator and choose Copy. The system then copies operation B0-10 together with PRT F to routing A (see graphic 2).

Instead of operation B0-10 you could also make a multi-level copy of header B with the copy range shown in graphic 1. To do so, you select header B on the EWB: Header Overview and enter in the context of the EWB: Copy – Target data dialog box the data for the new routing B’, set the Multi-level copy indicator and choose Copy. The system then copies header B together with all of its subordinate objects (see graphic 3).
