When you are working with a business rule that has components, you may want to copy a component's children (that is, the components that are grouped underneath a component in a flow chart).
You can copy the children of components and paste them into the same business rule or into a different business rule in a different application as long as it belongs to the same application type (Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase). For Financial Management business rules and components, when you copy children of components, you must paste them into only business rules of the same calculation type or of the Generic calculation type.
To copy and paste the children of a business rule component:
In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type, plan type, or database, and Rules. Do one of these tasks:
Right–click the rule that contains the component whose children you want to copy and paste, and select Open.
Select the rule that contains the component whose children you want to copy and paste, and select File, Open.
In the Rule Designer flow chart, select the member range, data range (Financial Management users only) fixed loop, or condition component whose children you want to copy and paste.
If you want to paste the component's children into the same business rule, select the component to the left of the location you want the component's children to display in the flow chart. (The component's children display to the right of the component you select.)
If you want to paste the component's children into a different business rule, open the business rule into which you want to paste the component's children, and select the component to the left of the location you want the component's children to display in the flow chart.
Note:
When you copy and paste the children of a component, any shared components are also copied.
