Refer Original Doc to Duplicated Doc?

Practical guidance for getting the most out of your SAP Business One system.

Tip of the week7 October 2024

SAP Business One allows users to establish a reference linking duplicated documents back to their source materials. When invoking the duplicate function through context or data menus, users receive a prompt enabling them to decide whether creating this connection is necessary.

How It Works

A checkbox option permits users to suppress future prompts if their organization maintains consistent duplication policies. Upon confirmation, the system automatically populates the referenced source document within the Accounting Tab of the new document.

  • Duplicate via context or data menus to trigger the reference prompt
  • Choose whether to link the duplicate back to the original
  • Suppress future prompts with a checkbox for consistent policies
  • Referenced source appears automatically in the Accounting Tab

Supported Document Types

This feature is available across a wide range of document types including sales and purchasing documents, inventory documents (Goods Issue, Inventory Transfers, and Inventory Transfer Request), Production Orders, Inventory Counting, and Inventory Posting.

Availability: SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2011 and SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2011, version for SAP HANA.
