Copying a Mass Pricing Update Request Type

Instead of creating a mass pricing update request type from scratch, you can create a new mass pricing update request type using an existing mass pricing update request type. This is possible through copying a mass pricing update request type. On copying a mass pricing update request type, the details including the characteristics are copied to the new mass pricing update request type. You can then edit the details, if required.

Prerequisites

To copy a mass pricing update request type, you should have:

  • Mass pricing update request type (whose copy you want to create) defined in the application.

  • Mass pricing update request business objects defined in the application.
