Copy Master data
Use this dialog to select the source supplier (copy from) and the target suppliers (paste to) and to specify the type of data you want to copy. For laboratory data, use the + symbol to copy extra criteria that are available in the source but are missing in the target. When + is selected you can also use the - sign to delete all empty criteria. Click OK to perform the action. The specified target supplier's data will be overwritten with the source supplier's data.
You can also use this dialog to overwrite the zero partner's data with average values from the other suppliers. To do so, select the Average calculation checkbox. Your zero partner will be automatically selected as the target. Select the source suppliers and specify the applicable areas. Click OK and the zero partner's data will be overwritten with average values from the selected suppliers. This option is available only for Minerals, Nutr. values, Vitamins and Rec. param..
Note: Make sure you have the appropriate access permission to use this checkbox: Administration → Access level → Operating elements → Master data → Checkboxes → Copy average supplier data. |
