Categories and Copy Methods
Use this table to understand which copy methods you can use with any particular category in the selection tree.

You can only select one copy method for the entire copying process.
The following list defines the individual copy methods:
· A – Replace all
· B – Update existing
· C – Leave existing and add new
· Add new with new code – this copy method is only used as alternative copy method. It cannot be selected manually but is automatically chosen by Copy Express.
If a chosen copy method cannot be used for a certain object, the system automatically switches to the alternative copy method.
