To create a new block order by copying an existing one do as follows:

1. Select the Work with manufacturing block orders menu item.
2. You access Work with block order. Select the order you want to copy and click Copy.
3. You access Block order maintenance. The values for the fields are retrieved from the order you are copying, except for the block order number, which is automatically set by the system from the number series for block orders.

Refer to step 3 in Create a block order for information about the fields that can be changed. Click OK when you have completed the changes.

Copy check
The system runs a copy control check during the actual copying. If any information is incorrect or missing, the system prompts the panels with the incorrect information. The erroneous fields are highlighted and a message is displayed describing the error. Correct the error and click OK. Note: If the error message is only a warning, click OK to accept the copy.

4. You return to Work with block order displaying the new block order from the copied order. Exit the routine.
