Copying Planning 
Use
Transferring planning data from a source version (reference) to a target version.
Integration
If the target version is plan-integrated, no allocation data is copied. An exception to this is scheduled actual data on the internal order.
You can use a plan integrated internal order in a version as a copy reference. To do this, you need to set the Copy indicator in the version and integrated planning needs to be active for Cost Center Accounting.
Features
For internal orders you can copy from actual to plan as well as plan to plan. When you copy from actual data to planning data, the system assigns the actual business transactions to the corresponding business transactions that can be manually planned.
For projects , you can copy from actual data to planning data.
Activities
In the corresponding application menu, choose

Planning aids
Copy planning

.
Select the template (actual/plan) and the target (plan) for copying.
If you want to copy the planning data for primary costs, revenues, activity inputs, statistical key figures and fiscal-year-dependent overall planning, enter the corresponding fiscal year.
If you want to copy the overall values from overall planning, and you do not want to copy any fiscal-year dependent planning data, activate the Overall values indicator and do not enter a fiscal year in the input screen.
Note
You can copy individual WBS elements and subhierarchies in projects.
When you activate selection variants, you can create a variant. Choose the required selection criteria in the next screen and save the variant.
Note
The selection variants are determined according to the settings in the database profile (with hierarchies and so on) for projects .
In the Existing target data group, specify whether any data that already exists in the target version should be overwritten.
Do not change
The system checks whether there is already any planning data in the target version for the corresponding planning. This data is not overwritten.
Reset and overwrite
The system resets all the data in the target version for this planning transaction, and overwrites it with planning data from the template version.
( )
If you chose Total up planning values automatically in the planning profile, this setting is not taken into account. If you wish to use this function for your copied planning, you need to activate the function again in the copy.
