I’ve been spending a lot of time lately doing VC related stuff, which I’m sure you’ve guessed by my posts =) My latest discovery has been the save temporary when you are inside of CU50 or a sales document. This functionality allows you take a configuration you’ve entered, and copy the whole thing into another order, or another CU50 screen. Rather handy, especially if you’re dealing with large models like I have been lately.
Now, the functionality is a bit temperamental, at least on the system that I’ve been working on, so if you haven’t used it before, here are something to keep in mind.
1. When you save the configuration, I recommend going right back to display it. Just to make sure it really saved a copy (I use the save as variation, so I can tell what I’m copying).
2. After you create your saved configuration, save your quote or sales order. It doesn’t seem to keep your saved copy, unless you save the document you were working in.
3. Be sure the KMAT’s match, or you won’t see your saved configuration.
4. I can’t really tell how long the saved configurations will last. It seems to only stick around long enough to add it to a single document (now if you have multiple lines on a quote for example, you’ll be able to add it to all those lines). But it seems that upon saving whatever you copied it to, the saved configuration is gone. I guess that’s why it’s temporary 🙂
In any event, don’t be surprised if you need to go back to the original document you want to copy from multiple times before you get it “just right”. And as always, if anyone can give me some better ideas of how to use this, please comment. I love to learn new tricks 🙂
