Copying Condition Records 

Using the Copy Function

In this example, you have an existing condition record that specifies a material discount for a particular customer. You want to offer the same discount to other customers by copying the data from the existing condition record into new records for each additional customer.

Steps:

To copy the existing condition record into the new records:

  1. Choose Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master data.
  2. Choose Conditions ® Selection using condition type ® Change.
  3. Enter the required condition type.

  4. Enter the selection data to select the existing condition record.
  5. The system displays the existing condition record(s) in the fast change screen.

  6. Select the condition record that you want to copy and choose Copy. If you want to select from alternative copying rules, see Selecting From Alternative Copying Rules.
  7. You reach the selection screen. In this example you choose from a list of customers, for whom you would like to copy reference condition record data.

  8. Enter your selection data and choose Execute.
  9. The system displays a list of the customers who meet your selection criteria.

  10. Mark the customers for whom you want to create copies of the reference condition record and choose Continue.
  11. The system displays the overview screen for condition records and lists the new condition records you have just created, as well as the existing condition record you used as a reference.

  12. In the overview screen, you can change the data for individual condition records by branching to the various views (Validity periods, Condition rate, Terms of payment, and so on).
  13. Save the condition records.

Displaying the Copy Log

After you have copied something, the system advises you if there are error messages in the copy log. You can see the log by going to Extras ® Copy log condition . The error messages in the copy log refer to the most recent copy transaction you carried out. With every new copy transaction, the log is automatically updated with only the current data.
