Copy Item - Overview
The standard Business Central Copy Item function creates a new item based on an existing one, copying the fields and related data that you specify. Clever Landed Costs adds a Landed Costs option to the Extended section of the Copy Item dialog, which controls whether the Landed Cost rates assigned at the item level are copied across to the new item.
Using Copy Item with Landed Costs
To copy an item including its Landed Cost rates:
-
Open the Item Card for the item you wish to copy.
-
From the Actions menu, select Copy Item (or use the Tell Me search to find the Copy Item function).
-
On the Copy Item dialog, expand the Extended section.
-
Locate the Landed Costs option and enable it by toggling the switch to Yes.
-
Complete the remaining fields as required, including the Target Item No. for the new item.
-
Click OK to create the new item. The Landed Cost rates from the source item will be copied to the new item.
What is Copied
When the Landed Costs option is enabled, the item-level Landed Cost rate records (accessed from the Landed Costs menu on the Item Card) are copied to the new item. This includes all Assignment Type, Landed Cost Type Code, Calculation Type, Default Cost and related rate information that has been set up against the source item.
Note: Only item-level Landed Cost rates are copied. Rates set up at other assignment levels, such as Item Category Code, Tariff Number or All Items, are not specific to the item and do not need to be copied.
Note: If the Landed Costs option is left disabled, no Landed Cost data will be copied and the new item will have no Landed Cost rates assigned. You can set these up manually after the item has been created if required.
