Hi Ravi,

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.

We can set copy controls from:

sales doc to sales docs

sales doc to delivery

delivery to billing

billing - sales

sales - billing

Billing - Billing

hI,

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 .

We maintain copy controls in Sales Document types and Delivery Document Types.

Will send you the details via mail..

Hi,

while practicing in IDES, u must have created Sales order with ref to a Quotation.

if u have observed, the materials, quantities, and values will be automatically copied from a Quotation to a sales order. this is because of the copy control maintained from qut to sales order( this copy control is Sales doc to Sales doc.) and when creating delivery all the items, quantities and values will be copied from sales order to delivery( this is a copy control from sales doc to a del doc) and lly in billing case( copy control from del doc to billing doc).

anyways this is a simple scenario u have copy controls at various places like returns, credit memos and debit memos etc.

to know more abt all fields of the copy control, plz go through willims.

cheers,

anil.

In copy control,you define control data for the document flow of sales documents.

You can specify for a particular sales document type, which document type is to be assigned to copied reference documents, and which item categories or schedule line categories are to be copied.

You must also make specifications for copying requirements and data transfer, as well as quantity and value updates in document flow. This must be done for each copying procedure at header, item and, if necessary, schedule line level on a detail screen.

Complete overview of copy control:

In sales, you can find copy controls for:

Sales document by sales document

Billing document by sales document

In deliveries, you can find copy controls for:

Sales document by delivery

In billing, you can find copy controls for:

Sales document by billing document

Delivery by billing document

Billing document by billing document

The requirements you can set under these are

1. Check the document flow defined in the standard SAP R/3 System.

2. Define to what extent you have to modify its specifications to meet your requirements.

3. Define the document flow for sales documents with reference to sales document types.

4. Define the document flow for sales documents with reference to billing types.

5. Define the document flow for delivery document with reference to sales and billing

3. Define the document flow for billing documents with reference to billing document types.

hi,

copy controll in sap SD is the most critical concept ,one has to undestand .

it controlls various main aspects like data transfer, cumulating data,documents merging ,pricing controll,reference document number range,special validation between documents ,etc at both header level and item level .

there are diff types of controll parameters between types of sd docs like

1)copy controll from order to order used for CMR/returns.

2) copy controll from billing to order used for returns/corrections.

3)from order to delivery used for physical shipping activities

4)order to billing used for service industry without delivery.

5)billing to billing used for cancellations/corrections/credit/debit memos/

without knowing this concept ,one cannot claim to be an SD CONSULTANT.
