Existing Data

If you select a quotation rule in an existing CPE term in Customizing, the system deletes the value of each term field for which a field exists with the same name in the data part of the quotation rule.

If you select a quotation rule in an existing CPE term in a business document, the system overwrites the value of each term field with the value of a corresponding field in the quotation rule. A field corresponds to a term field if it has the same name and is in the data part of the quotation rule.
