Orders 

• Order copy requirements are used to define when copying from an order to a subsequent document is permitted. 
• This is done via detailed copy routines that verify that the characteristics of the reference and target sales documents are consistent with the definitions of the preconditions that must be present prior to allowing copying.
• When creating an order with reference to another document, the system reads the assigned copy requirement and verifies that all of the specified conditions are met prior to permitting the order from being created.
• If the requirement is not met, the user will be issued a message indicating the reason that the order could not be created.
• When looking at the code for the standard delivered order copy requirements, or when writing your own, some standard work areas are used.

Requirement :-

• ORDERS COPYING REQUIREMENT 1: HEADER-SAME CUSTOMER

1. In this requirement, the sold-to must be the same in the reference and the target documents, in order for copying to be permitted.
2. In addition, the sales area must be identical. Additional checks are also performed and the user is issued messages based on the following attributes of the reference document in comparison to the target: completeness, reference percentage, currency, validity dates, and the payment plan. 

Ex :-

• If in your company, there are special products that can only be sold to special customers (I.e. Government), then it makes sense to forbid the copying of sales documents from one customer to another. 
• If this is the case in your company, the accidental copying of documents from different customers can be prevented by implementing this copying requirement. 

Requirement :-

• ORDERS COPYING REQUIREMENT 2: HEADER-DIFFERENT CUSTOMER

1. In this requirement, if the sold-to is different in the reference and the target documents, the user receives a warning message, but copying is still permitted.
2. The sales area must be identical,however, in both documents in order for the requirement to be met.
3. Additional checks are also performed and the user is issued messages based on the following attributes of the reference document in comparison to the target: completeness, reference percentage, currency, validity dates, and the payment plan.

Ex :-

• In many companies, copying of documents is permitted from one customer's document to a document for a different customer.
• However, if there are special customer material numbers used by the reference document customer, it is advisable to issue a message to the user indicating that the  customers in the documents are different so that the user can make the decision to abort the copy, or to manually make the adjustments to the document to reflect the differences. 
• If this routine is assigned to the document type, these warning messages will be issued automatically when the customers are different.
