Copying Sales Order Information

You can avoid repetitive data entry by copying an existing quote or sales order header, line, or schedule that is similar to the one that you want to create.

At the header level, use the Copy Sales Order/Quote link from the Header menu on the Order Entry Form page to select the order that you want to copy. You can also copy lines after selecting an order.

Note: Canceled orders, quotes, expired quotes, and quotes with active holds cannot be copied.

At the line level, you click the Copy Order Line button after selecting the number of lines to copy in the Order Lines region of the Order Entry Form page. This copies lines from within the existing order. You can also copy lines from purchase history by clicking the product ID in the Purchase History region of the Order Entry Form page.

At the schedule level, you can insert a row on the Shipment Schedule page to create a schedule identical to the current schedule, with the exception of the quantity. The system automatically calculates the difference between the line quantity and the total quantity of any existing schedules and populates the quantity field on the new schedule with an amount equal to that difference. Before you can use this copy function when you create additional schedules, change the value in this field to reflect the single schedule quantity.

You can also click the Copy Schedule link from the Schedule menu on the Shipment Schedules page to create recurring schedules on the Copy Schedule page. In one step, you can create hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly schedules. The value in the Quantity Scheduled field on the Shipment Schedules page is automatically populated using the line quantity. When you create additional schedules, before you can use the copy function, change the value in this field to reflect the single schedule quantity. For example, suppose you have an order quantity of 120 widgets on the line, and you want to schedule 10 widgets for delivery once a month for the next 12 months. The quantity scheduled appears by default as 120; change the value in this field to 10. Specify the shipment frequency on the Copy Schedule page. Indicate how many additional schedules to create. In the widget example, you would create 11, in addition to the one already automatically created for the order line. Click the Copy Schedule button to have the system create the designated number of schedules and return to the Shipment Schedules page.

For single ship sales orders, you will not be allowed to create interval shipping schedules. An error message will be displayed if you try to copy schedules for a single ship order. Only No Interval option will be available for a single ship order on the Copy Schedule page. If this option is used for a non-single ship order, it will create schedule copies with the same dates as the original schedule.

Note: If you are chunking large sales orders and you have exceeded the maximum defined at installation, you receive a message directing you to copy the order in the background using the Copy Sales Order/Quote process (OM_ORDCOPY).
