You can copy a formula component from a rule or template and paste it into the same, or a different, rule or template. You can also copy the contents of the grid within a formula component and paste it into the same, or a different, formula component. You cannot copy a formula component and paste it into another formula component or another component type.
To copy and paste a formula component:
In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type (for Financial Management), the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase), and Rules or Templates.
Right-click the rule or template that contains the formula component you want to copy, and select Open.
In the Rule Designer or Template Designer flow chart, right-click the formula component you want to copy, and select Copy.
Note:
If the component you want to copy is shared, you can use Edit, Copy Reference to copy the reference to the shared component instead of copying the component itself. (See Copying and Pasting the Reference to a Business Rule Formula or Script Component.)
If you want to paste the formula component into the same business rule or template flow chart, right-click in the location of the flow chart into which you want to paste the formula component, and select Paste.)
If you want to paste the formula component into a different business rule or template flow chart, open the business rule or template into which you want to paste the component, right-click in the location of the flow chart into which you want to paste the formula component, and select Paste.
