Copying a Rate Option

Instead of creating a rate option from scratch, you can create a new rate option using an existing rate option. This is possible through copying a rate option. On copying a rate option, the pricing and transaction aggregation details are copied to the new rate option. You can then edit the details, if required.

Prerequisites

To copy a rate option, you should have:

  • Rate option (whose copy you want to create) defined in the application

  • Rate schedules, currencies, and aggregation schedules defined in the application

Procedure

To copy a rate option:

  1. Search for the Rate Option extendable lookup in the Extendable Lookup Query screen.
  2. In the Search Results section, click the link in the Description column corresponding to the extendable lookup business object whose details you want to view.
    The Extendable Lookup screen appears.
  3. In the Extendable Lookup Value List zone, click the Duplicate (The Duplicate Icon) icon in the Duplicate column corresponding to the rate option whose copy you want to create.
