Use

This procedure describes how you copy the data of a source specification to one or more target specifications. You have the following options:

In a similar manner to inheritance you use an inheritance template to specify which data (identifiers and value assignments) are to be copied. In contrast to inheritance, there is no further connection between the source and target specifications after copying. This means the copied data is not changed in the target specification if the corresponding data is changed in the source specification.

When copying you can also specify whether the assignments of materials and reference specifications to the source specification are also copied to the target specification. You can only make this setting if the specification type of the target specification allows the material assignment or referencing. This means, if in Customizing for Product Safety a setting has been made for the specification type that material assignment is not permitted, the Materials field is then inactive.

Prerequisites

You have created the required inheritance template.
