What is meant by copying control ? Why do we use it ?

HI,
When you create a new transaction that relates to an existing transaction, you can create the new transaction as a follow-up transaction. When you do this, data from the original transaction is copied to the new transaction and the transactions become linked. This linking provides you with information about the history of a particular business transaction. You can view this history in the Transaction History assignment block in each business transaction.
EXAMPLE
You receive information that a sales customer has accepted a quotation. You search for the original quotation and create a sales order as a follow-up transaction. From the sales order, you create an activity as a follow-up transaction, with a task to call the customer. In this example, the sales order is a preceding transaction of the activity, and the quotation is a preceding transaction of the sales order.

Copy Control

What kind of config is needed to make a free goods order type billable (zero dollar billing), Tried adding the billing type into the field Dlv-rel.billing type in VOV8. Doesn't allow to create the invoice.

Hi Arju,
In order to create an invoice for a free goods order, pl. maintain the following:
1) Make the item category relevant for billing
2) Maintain a default dlvy related billing type in customizing for sales document VOV8
3) Maintain copy control between dlvy and billing document.
Thanks

Copy controls from quotation to contract

Hi,
My client want to create contract w.r.t quatation.
I maintained the copy controls for the same but target quantity is not getting updated in contract w.r.t qutation
2)while creating contract without reference order quntity is not getting updated.
Pls suggest what i may missed
Thanks in advance

Hello Dear
This is NOT standard SAP process flow.
But make sure u have copy control at HEADER and ITEM CATEGORY level.
And as your qty is not getting copied that means some thing is wrong with Routines( copy control and data transfer).
Thanks,

COPY CONTROL: SALES ORDER WITH REFERENCE TO QUOTATION

Hi.
We are creating a sales orders with reference to a quotation. When copying, we'd like to be able to include another new position type in the sales orders.
For example:
QUOTATION:
POSITION 10: TYPE ZTAB
SALES ORDERS:
POSITION 10: TYPE ZTAB
POSITION 20: TYPE IRSS.
Where could we place this change?. We suppose when saving the sales orders. Does anybody know how could we make this change?.
Thank you very much!.
Raú

What do you mean by position type?
Please use the language used by SAP so that it could be easily understood.
What is ZTAB & IRSS. Are they materials?
Regarding copying, this is a brief theory
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.
In precise, you are telling the system what data to copy from QT to sales order. It copies data from Quotation order type to Standard order type basing on settings you indicated in copying control.
System won't do anything more than copying from preceding documents and it would transfer data based on copying rules in copy control.

Delivery copy control Issue

Dear All,
I created a new order type, Item category, Delivery type and delivery item category. Maintain copy controls too.
But system is not allowing to do delivery.Error Message '
Copying is not poss.because an entry is missing in Table TVCPL; ZTAN- LF.
I searched in forum too no solution in most of the cases. Entry is reflecting in Table TVCPL.
May you pls advise
Regards,
DP

Hello,
If you need your flow to be a Z*** order-> Z*** delivery, then it is correct not to maintain a copy control from Z*** order->LF delivery.
What I can suggest is to:
1. Remove your copy control from Z*** order->LF delivery.
2. Review your entry in transaction VTLA ans make sure that you have only now the copy control from Z*** order-> Z*** delivery.
2.1. Make sure you have the item category/(ies) from the order in the configuration of the item level in transaction VTLA
2.2. If you need a new item category in the delivery, you can make a new item category determination. But in most cases, this is just copied from the sales order (see documentation in SPRO path for copying control for deliveries).
Sample Entries in TVCPL
Delivery Type//Sales Doc Type//Item Category
ZEBB //ZBR2 <-this is my copy control header level
ZEBB //ZBR2 //ZB70 <-this is my copy control item level; ZB70 is the item category as determined in the preceding Sales Order ZBR2
3. Make sure you also have the proper copying requirements and data transfer routines depending on the business requirement.
Good luck,
Eva

How to make use of customer reserve pricing types in copying control

Hi All
Please inform how to make use of 'customer reserve' pricing types like 'X,Y,Z & 1-9' keys in copying control.
Right now I'm on maintenance & supporting project for european client. They used pricing type 'Z' for copying condition records from stadard sales order to returns(RE) order. I wanted to know that what is 'Z' and how it is functioning to resolve one urgent ticket assigned to me.
Could you please guide me where should I verify its logic.
Thanks & Regards
Seshu

Hi Seshu,
Pricing type changes will done at user exit level. You may want to look at the user exit USEREXIT_PRICING_RULE (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZA)
Also, OSS note 24832 will help you to get an understanding.

Copy Control of Payment Terms

Hi all,
We group multiple deliveries into one invoice for one customer. Am maintaining Payment terms in my sales orders but i cld not c the same in Invoice Header data. Its showing blank.
Doc flow: Sales order->Delivery->Invoice.
is that because of some copy controls? If yes, is tht should be from Sales doc to billing doc?
what should be the requirement? is that am supposed to do it or i need to take help of a abaper?
Please advice soon.
thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Anil

Dear Anil
Yes I too know that Payment Terms will come from sale order. If you do billing against sale order, then you have to make copy control accordingly.
You said that you have done "sale order - delivery - invoice", which means, you have to maintain copy controls VTLA (Sale order to Delivery) and VTFL (Delivery to Billing).
Having said that by default, Payment Term should flow to your billing. I dont know why you are not getting.
Since so far, I have never come across with similar issue, I have only suggested you. Testing it or not its upto you !!!!!!
Thanks

Problem with copy control from sales document to billing document

Hi,
I have a copy control from a sales document to a billing document,
which is copying everything from the sales document, except the
conditoin values. Any ideas on why will a copy routine won't copy the
condition values from a source document? I don't even have a document
pricing procedure assigned to my billing document. Any setting, that
we can do to for the conditions to get copied from the sales document
to the billing document...just as they are in the sales document?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Vijay

What setting do you have for your source sales document type to target billing document type? Select the row that shows the document type you are interested in and double click on item(on the left pane). Select the item category and do display. What value do you see under the 'Pricing Type' and 'Price Source'?
May be that is where some config setting is missing.

Copy controls & Pricing

Right now, in the copy control of delivery to invoice, at item level pricing type is G.
Now,
During SO, at item level , I manually "update" with C. After this, the same price should reflect in the invoice.At invoice, there should be no manual 'update'.
what is the pricing type to be set in SPRO ( so that, no manual update with C is needed at SO header) for this & at what level?
Request an expert to guide me soon, on this, as the actual pricing issue is a bit complicated to explain.

Dear Ram
FOB Price = 'Base Price' - (sum of ' frieght' & 'insurance')
The above logic is in Alt calc Type :12 & is assigned to 'FOB Price' in pric proc.
'Frieght' & 'insurance' are MANUAL HEADER conditions.
Now, with G,
at header level in invoice, when we enter 'frieght' & 'insurance' manually, the 'FOB Price' is NOT getting calculated. ( in 'condition value' column).
With B, the 'FOB Price' is getting calculated' ( as described above)
The problem, is the client does NOT want to use B ( for below mentioned reasons)
with B, only the current billing date is considered.**
The client wants SO PRICING DATE ( which G is fulfiling) ( but G hs limitation, as explained above)
Any other pricng types, which u suggest?
or shall I try to insert a condition category to 'FOB Price' (which is blank now)
The 2 c. types are :
'FOB Price' -
Cond. class B Prices
Calculat.type C Quantity
Cond.category (blank)
Rounding rule Commercial
StrucCond. (blank)
'Frieght' & 'Insurance' (manual hearder conditions) are then added together to a subtotal,& inturn made a single condition type as below.
'Frieght & insurance'
Cond. class A Discount or surcharge
Calculat.type B Fixed amount
Cond.category F Freight
Rounding rule Commercial
StrucCond. (Blank)
Request an expert to kindly guide me on this.
Immediate help would be appreciated.

Modification in copy control from Contract to Sales order

Hello Gurus...
We are using a standard copy control routine to copy header and item level data from Contract to Sales order.
Now what happening is the price for some items is changing after creation of contract. But when the sales order is created it is copying old value from contract.
I want to modify the routine in such a way that I can redetermine the price for the item.
I can not change configuration as the same is used by multiple company codes and the change is required only for some company code.
Any suggestions please?

Hi there,
You have do some customizing in the pricing type at the copy controls in item level.
Define a copy control routine at the item level in VOFM. In the routine put a condition that the system should read the value in the pricing type. As per your requirement if the company code / sales org is 1000 / XXXX for eg, then the system should apply the pricing type that will carry out the new pricing at the order (I am not connected to SAP right now so not sure what that pricing type is). If the company code / sales org is apart from 1000 / XXXX, it should default the pricing type that is there in standard copy control VTAA.
Check if that is possible with your ABAPer. What I feel is that you have to hard code the pricing type value (that will carry new pricing) in the new copy control routine.

Sivanand

Copy Control for splitting items

Here is my situation... a single delivery will contain multiple truckloads. The business process cannot avoid that, and transaction VLSP (subsequent delivery split) is not an option to avoid that. However, we must split the Pro Forma invoices out by truckload. At first glance, this doesn't seem difficult. Simply use a Data Transfer Copy Control routine to put the truck's trailer number into VBRK. That way, each item will align to the right truck, and the Pro Forma creation process will automatically split into multiple resulting billing documents.
But what about the scenario where a single item on the delivery is shipped on multiple trucks? Item 000010 has 25 units of Material A. 19 go on Truck 1 and 6 go on Truck 2. How do I get Item 000010 to go onto two different Pro Formas, with 19 units on one and 6 on the other?
My best options so far are to process VF01 multiple times, once per truck, and reduce the quantity via the data transfer routine appropriately each time (with something included to figure out which truck is being processed each time), or to do a core code modification to split the delivery item into two items in the ALIPS structure before the data transfer routine is called.
Am I missing a cleaner wat to solve this?
Thanks,
Chris

hi,
surely new coding is required for item level Billing plan copying from order to order,
you can copy the 402 requirement do the changes according to your requirement by the help of ABAPERS.

Copy Control for Opportunity

Folks,
I have set up Copy Control for the 10 different Opportunity Types that I have, and have ensured that each oppty type is listed in as the Source and Target. When I click on the 'Copy' icon for an existing opportunity, I am not prompted to select the opportunity type. The new opportunity that is being created defaults to the same opportunity type as the opportunity being copied. I would like the users to be prompted to select the opportunity type. This should work the way that it's configured, but it's not. Any ideas as to what I should check?
Thanks!

Hi,
Copy Control for Transaction copies transaction data from source to target transation to use this you will have to use option Button Create Follow-Up NOT Button Copy.
Copy Button create only copy of same transaction with using same transation type which has no reference to source transaction but if u r creating follow-up from one transaction to another u will get option to select Transaction types which u have maintained in Copy control.

PO to delivery copy control

Dear All,
I have this situation where I create a delivery for a Purchase order STO process.
Now my requirement is that I want the exact value of Item number in Purchase order to also be in the Delivery.
Example
in PO i have item
Item Number      Item
010                    ABC
020                    XYZ
030                    MNO
So now when i create a delivery without item number 020 because of E.g Differnt delivery date.Then i want the new delivery to have the following
Item Number      Item
010                      ABC
030                     MNO
Maybe copy control might help,But can anyone help me to actually make the code changes ,or is there any other way.
thanks

Alice,
I cannot think of the right solution but I wanted to say that this can be a little tricky. I remember working on something similar. If you are thinking of VOFM - > DATA TRANSFER -> DELIVERIES, then you need to consider this.
Even though you have CVBAK and LIPS structure, CVBAK will have all the line items from the order irrespective of what will be going into the delivery. So if there is a split due to delivery date, the second time the order is referenced to create the 2nd delivery, even then CVBAK will have all the line items.
I would ask you to consider about thinking of other user exits in MV50* as well before making your mind on routines.
Also, check if this can be controlled using SPRO.
Thanks,
Vikram.M

Hi DD,
Thanks for your reply,
I already tried the way you have suggested but here is a problem that few of the "text type" get copied from the preceding document and few are not.
Actually there are 7 text type and out of two text type in the preceding document and succeding documents are made obligatory mandatory and i need to copy the preceding document text into the succeeding document to avoid the re-entry of the text and i am able to copy one text type but another is not getting copied.
i expect your guidance.
