Order Duplication
To avoid entering the same information for multiple orders, you can duplicate an order. You can also duplicate an order to create a new type of order from an existing order, for example, to create an order from a requisition. You cannot duplicate orders that are on hold.
You can also duplicate an order to create a certain type of order from the original order. You set the processing options for Order Entry to specify the order type code for the duplicate orders. For example, you enter the order type code for purchase orders (usually OP) if you want the system to create a purchase order every time you duplicate a requisition. You must also specify the status codes for detail lines on the duplicate order, and you must indicate whether the system duplicates notes that are attached to the original order.
