Hi,

As you can see in copy control between sales order documents (VTAA) you have 3 levels of copying data:

1) Header level which copies information between document header, namely:

- General header data (fields like: order reason; collective number; delivery block; requested delivery date etc.) - mainly from VBAK table

- Header business data (eg. pricing date) - mainly from VBKD table

- Partner header (copying of parnters) - mainly from VBPA

2) Similarly at item level you control how data are copied for given item categories

- general data/business data/ partners/conditions

3) For sales orders you have also 3rd level - schedule lines which has only one copy routine

All the routines are provided by standard, but you can also modify them. Meaning you can copy routine into your custom code and assign it into given document type/item category or schedule line.

- General item data (eg. material entered, quantity, unit of measure etc.) - mainly from VBAP table

- item business data (eg. price group, billing date etc.) - mainly related to VBKD

- partner item (partner data related to VBPA)

- conditions. Here standard does not support the code in routine 251, but you can create your own abap

The best way to analyse what is inside the copy routine is to open the routines (F4 at the routine number field) then mark the routine number line and press 'F5'. This will display you the code with logic and fields that are being copied.
