Creating a New VOFM Copying Requirement

• To create a new routine, follow these steps: 

1. First check to see whether you can use one of the copy requirements delivered in the standard system. 
2. Either overwrite an existing requirement or enter a new number on a new line from the customer name space 600 to 999. Also enter a short description of your copy requirement. 
3. Program your copy requirement in the ABAP editor. 
4. Activate the program. 
5.  Enter the application if you want to use the copy requirement in one particular application area. For example, you have defined a new copy requirement that is only relevant for deliveries. 
6.  Enter your new copy requirement in the appropriate area in customising. For example, a new order copy requirement would be assigned to the copy rules for sales documents. As another example, a text copy requirement would be assigned to the access sequence for the text type. 

• New VOFM routines created at a customer site are not overwritten by a software upgrade.
