      <Paragraph>You can copy old purchase
		contracts to new purchase contracts in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</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/pur/tdpur0100m300" role="session">Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300)</GUIRef> session:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>
            <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur0100m300#tdpur000.cppy.3" role="field">Copy Special Contract to Normal Contract</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

            <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur0100m300#tdpur000.cpyp.3" role="field">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, ERP Enterprise:</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, ERP Enterprise checks whether 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 buy-from
		  business partner.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>If such a contract
		already exists and the contract status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="option">Active</GUIRef>, ERP Enterprise 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/pur/tdpur3100m000" role="session">Purchase Contracts (tdpur3100m000)</GUIRef> session, but with different effective and expiry
		dates. The <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000332" role="glossary">purchase contract price revisions</Link> that are linked to the old contract with effective dates that
		fall within the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#EffectPeriod_td" role="glossary">effectivity period</Link> of the
		new contract, are copied to the new contract. If no valid price revision
		exists, and you have selected the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#copy.pric.book" role="field">Copy Prices</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</GUIRef> session, the last price revision of the old
		contract is copied to the new contract's price revision with an effective date
		equal to the contract line's effective date.</Paragraph>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>Discounts and discount schedules from the old price revision
		  are not automatically included if you copy prices to the new contract's price
		  revision. To copy discounts to the new contract's price revision as well,
		  select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#copy.disc.sch" role="field">Copy Discounts</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      </Note>
      <Paragraph>If price books or
		discount schedules of the old contract's price revision are not valid in the
		run time of the new contract, you can create new price books and/or new
		discount schedules for the new contract by selecting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#make.new.prbk" role="field">Create New Price Book</GUIRef> check box and/or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#make.new.dssc" role="field">Create New Discount Schedule</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can copy the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000333" role="glossary">delivery contract(s)</Link> that are linked to the old contract
		to the new contract. To copy the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000333" role="glossary">delivery contract(s)</Link>, select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#copy.del.sched" role="field">Copy Delivery Contract</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you copy contracts, the copied contract header and the item
		lines are logged in the contract history files. If you selected the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000#copy.trm.cnt.line" role="field">Copy Terminated Contract Lines</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur3801m000" role="session">Copy Purchase Contracts (tdpur3801m000)</GUIRef> session, the terminated contract lines are
		also copied to the new contract.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The currency of the
		buy-from business partner must be the same as the contract currency. If not, ERP Enterprise displays an error
		message. Buy-from business partners must have the status <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="option">Active</GUIRef> when
		a contract is agreed upon. A parent relation must exist between a buy-from
		business partner and the other business partner roles, which are given by
		default if the buy-from business partner is entered.</Paragraph>
