Copy Publ Info

Use this option to save time when creating product records. This utility will copy the area, region, distribution zone, and district records from one publication to another. You will be prompted to enter the product to copy from (From Product) and the product to copy to (To Product), as well as start and end dates for the records that will be created.

Note:

If any of these records already exist for the To product, they will not be copied. For example, if product “DM” has Area records of “East” and “West”, and product “GZ” already has an Area record of “East”, copying product “DM” to “GZ” will result in only one Area record, “West”, being copied.

• Select Copy Publ Info from the Utilities | Setup menu to display the Copy Publication Information screen.

  Field	Type	What to enter

  TO PRODUCT	setup	Enter the product to which you want to copy the information.
