Copying and Pasting the Reference to a Business Rule Formula or Script Component
When you copy and paste a reference to a business rule shared script or shared formula component, you copy and paste a shortcut to the component; the component itself is not copied. Only one copy of the component exists in the original business rule from which you copied the reference. The reference functions as a pointer to the application and plan type that contains the shared component. If you select copy reference on a component that is not shared, the pasted component is a copy of the component, and has no shortcut to the original component. In this instance, copy reference behaves the same as copy.
You can copy and paste a reference to a shared formula or shared script component within the same business rule or within a different business rule.
Note:
For Oracle Hyperion Financial Management business rules and components, when you copy the reference to a component, you must paste it into business rules of the same calculation type or of the Generic calculation type.
