Copying goals/objectives from appraisal documnt : FM not working...

Question

I have a requirement in which all the "Goals/Objectives" from the previous years appraisal documents are to be copied to the newly created appraisal documents for the current year.
I take the details of the previous years appraisal document using "HRHAP_DOCUMENT_GET_DETAIL" .
I use the exact data of the previous years document making only minor changes (document header dates) and then create a new appraisal document using FM "HRHAP_DOCUMENT_SAVE".
The error is that the Goals/Objectives do not get copied completely....
eg. The previous years document has 3 goals
     "xxx
      yyy
      zzz"
The newly created will have 3 goals but the texts of the goals will not get copied and will display the default text. eg:
     "New Goal
      New Goal
      New Goal"
Using Other FM's like HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CREATE or HRHAP_DOC_UPDATE_BODY_AND_SAVE also give the same results.
The problem might be because I am directly using "body_elements" from the previous document in the new document w/o any edits.
Any n all suggestions highly welcome....
p.s. kindly notify me if this query should be posted in another forum other than ABAP Development.

Hi,
Try like this ...
To get all the templates use this FM
CALL FUNCTION 'HRHAP_TEMPLATE_GET_LIST'
    EXPORTING
      add_on_application = 'PA'
      plan_version       = '01'
    IMPORTING
      t_templates        = tb_templates.
Data :  tb_s_with_or_without    TYPE hap_s_sel_with_or_without.
tb_s_with_or_without-sel_display_existing = 'X'.
*--To get the list the documents
  CALL FUNCTION 'HRHAP_DOCUMENT_GET_LIST_XXL'
    EXPORTING
      add_on_application    = ' '
      plan_version          = '01'
      t_templates           = tb_templates
      s_sel_status          = tb_hap_status-----> mandatory table to pass --just pass it
      t_sel_status_sub      = gt_1000_status_sub---->pass this if u r considering the Sub statuses also
      s_sel_with_or_without = tb_s_with_or_without---->check above
      t_appraisees          = tb_appraisees---> get all appraisal Ids into this table form HRHAP table
    IMPORTING
      t_documents           = tb1_docs.---> will get all the documents
