opy control is a process by which important transaction parameters in sales do

cuments are copied during

the process from an originating document to a target document. This configurati
on set by the consultants
are useful for the end users who dont have to repeat these control parameters ag
ain and again for
example, from order to delivery and then billing. Once you have set transaction
controls in Order this will
be taken as a reference and automatically copied to the subsequently created doc
uments.
You can maintain copy control in following areas :
Sales documents/Deliveries/Billing documents
Further, the copy control transition can be done in following relatiionship :
Sales document by sales document
Billing document by sales document
Sales document by delivery
Sales document by billing document
Delivery by billing document

The T.Code for Copy Control between sales order and delivery is VTLA(Delivery wi
th reference to an order)
The T.Code for Control between sales order and billing document is VTFA(Order re
lated billing scenario)
The T.Code for Control between delivery and billing document is VTFL(Delivery re
lated billing scenario)
The T.Code for Copy Control between sales order and Sales order is VTAA.It is us
ed in the case of creating returns order/credit memo request/debit memo request.
The T.Code for Control between billing document and billing document is VTFF.It
is used in the case of cancelling an invoice.

Hi
Copying Control is one of the control parameter in SD, beacuse of which we are a
ble to create one document with reference to the another document.
For example, we can create a Sales order (OR) with reference to a Quotation(QT)
.
If we want to create a document with reference to another document then they mus
t be present as a pair in the Copy control table.

Copy control is available for each level of the document. For example, it is ava
ilable for Header level, Item level and Schedule line level of the Sales documen
t as it has three levels.
Copy control is made up of
- Data Transfer Routines
- Copying Requirement &
- few check boxes (switches) for specific control.
Data Transfer Routines copies the data from the Source document to the Target do
cument , but before copying, it checks whether the Copying requirements are met
or not. If the Copying requirement are not met then data will not be copied , ra
ther system may give you error, warning messages and sometime it may terminate t
he processing.
Few examples of copying requirements below.
Copying requirement "001" at Header level checks that Sold-to-party and Sales ar
ea must be same in both source and target document otherwise data will not be co
pied.
Copying requirement "301" at Item level, checks the completion and rejection sta
tus of the item. If the item has been rejected or completed status then system w
ill not copy the item to the target document.
Copying requirement "501" at Schedule line level checks that open quantity must
be greater than zero otherwise it will not copy.
