Copying a Function

The user can copy a function from the Quote Functions and the Functions More Info view. When a function is copied, the user can specify the function details to copy, such as number of days, number of copies per day, and whether to copy subfunctions.

Users can also copy a function to quotes with the same property and quotes with a different property. If a user copies a function to a quote with a different property, the best fit process is started to find a function space.

When a user copies a function to a quote with a different property, the function line items are initially mapped to the generic product. A property-specific product is then selected from the new property. If there is no such product, the generic line item is copied. If no mapping between the original line item and the generic line item can be performed, the line item is not copied.

Also, when users copy a function with line items and change the date, Siebel Hospitality verifies whether the item is still available by checking catalog visibility. If the item is not available, it is not copied.
