Copy Transactions
To save time when creating a new transaction, you can copy an existing transaction which contains data relevant to the new transaction.
Note
You can also copy templates.
Integration
When you create follow-up transactions, the existing and the new business transaction are linked, copies are not linked.

Note
The category is always copied from the source to the target transaction. If the source and target transaction type categorization schema do not match, the system issues a warning.
