Copying a Discrepancy Report Type

Prerequisites

To copy a discrepancy report type, you should have:

  • C1-DiscrepancyReport Business object defined for discrepancy report.

Instead of creating a discrepancy report type from scratch, you can create a new discrepancy report type using an existing discrepancy report type.
