With the complexity of product setup (categories, tax classes, fees, added charges, etc... It would be great to have a wizard that could copy the settings from one product to a new product. This would reduce user entry errors and improve the consistency of product master data entry.
Product copy wizard was added to Apex 6 and released in October 2016. In Apex 7 multiple Wizards were added.
Please see attached for Apex 6 information..
In Apex v7, we've designed (not implemented) this capability. The plan is to add a menu/toolbar item to all the 'syfmhdr' programs (internal classification of the program type). The menu/toolbar item would be call 'Duplication Record'.
Upon selecting a dialog would appear that would list the 'Old Key' and prompt for the 'New Key'. In your example, 'Old ProductID' and 'New ProductID'. The dialog would also have a check-box to allow/not allow the copying of 'Notes'.
This modification/enhancement would affect about 40+ programs. Examples are: Trailers, Carriers, Drivers, Products, Customers/Prospects/Bidders, Salepersons, etc. Basically most of the 'Master Data' programs that just have a single key.
Thoughts???
