hi,

Copy control can be associated with the transfer of data between the various sales documents from a Quotation to Cash.

Thus, copy control forms part of the document flow process. Copy control uses data at the header and schedule line level.

Copy control determines which data is to be transfered, a copy control can be set to ensure copying of data at predefined time intervals.

Similarly, with copy control one can also specify when to stop the copying process. Copy control is important in another way since it helps in determing wether new prices are used or not.

Copy Control is basically meant so that Data is copied from preceding Document to subsequent one.

What subsequent Document is required is to some extent determined by Customer Requirements as well as Document Types. e.g. In general case of Standard Order, it will be Copy Control (Order to Delivery) from OR to LF .

You define the copying requirements in copying control. Controlling is carried out in SD Customizing via Billing >>>Billing documents >>> Maintain copying control for billing documents, Navigation Header and Item, field: Copying requirement.

If you want to define a copying requirement as a data transfer routine, enter this in field: VBRK/VBRP

You can determine copying requirements for:

1. header

2. item

You can, for instance, call sales document data on:

Billing status

Billing block

Pricing status

Completeness

With the requirements in copying control, you can call up data in master records, for example data on whether a billing block exists in a customer master record.

You can also specify your own requirements as data transport routines. In this way, you can determine whether terms of payment are to be copied from the customer master instead of the sales document.

Hi there,

Copy control routines are imp when you create the proceeding doc from the source doc.

This is necessary when you want to control the rpicing type for eg from order to billing.

When maintaining copy control from OR to F2 in VTFA, then at item level you will control if price has to be redetermined (setting B in pricing type) or just taxes shoul;d be redetermined (setting G).

You can also control under what conditions you want to control the invoice to generate after delivery.

Same is with copy control from OR to LF & between any doc type.

You will specify what details should be copied from source to target & what not.to copy.
