	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>You can copy old sales contracts to new sales contracts in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls3801m000" role="session">Copy Sales Contracts (tdsls3801m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>You can always copy a normal contract to a normal contract or a special contract to a special contract. Whether or not you can copy a normal contract to a special contract, and vice versa, depends on the settings of the following check boxes in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0100s300" role="session">Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300)</GUIRef> session:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0100s300#tdsls000.cppy.3" role="formfield">Copy Special Contract to Normal Contract</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls0100s300#tdsls000.cpyp.3" role="formfield">Copy Normal Contract to Special Contract</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<List><ListIntro>If you copy to a new normal contract, to determine the default value of the contract period, SSA ERP:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Assigns an effective date directly following the expiry date of the old contract.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Sets up a contract period of one year.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<List><ListIntro>If you copy to a new normal contract, SSA ERP checks if a normal contract already exists:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>In the same period.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>With the same price group or item.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>For the same sold-to business partner.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>If such a contract already exists and the contract status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="enum">Active</GUIRef>, SSA ERP displays a message that copying is not allowed.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Contracts are copied with a new contract number, which is determined in the same way as when you enter a new contract in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls3100s000" role="session">Sales Contracts (tdsls3100s000)</GUIRef> session, but with different effective and expiry dates. If <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#PriceBook.td" role="glossary">price books</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000363" role="glossary">discount schedules</Link> are not valid within the run time of the contract, they can be copied to new ones. You can also add new price/discount lines to existing price books/discount schedules.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The currency of the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#InvoicetoBus.tc" role="glossary">invoice-to business partner</Link> must be the same as the contract currency; otherwise, SSA ERP displays an error message. Business partners must have the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="enum">Active</GUIRef> when a contract is agreed upon. A parent relation must exist between a sold-to business partner and the other business partner roles, which are given by default if the sold-to business partner is entered.</Paragraph>
