To create a new group profile that uses the same transaction sets, mappers, and additional document information already defined for another group profile, you can copy the information from that profile.
You can copy a group profile from the same or another trading partner profile.
To copy a group profile:
Display a trading partner profile on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Trading Partner ID field, enter the trading partner to whose record to copy the group profile.
Select a Group ID and use the Group Profile Maintenance hot key to display the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.
Use the Copy Profile hot key and press Enter to display the copy prompts.
In the Copy From Trading Partner ID field, verify that the trading partner ID is the ID that contains the group you want to copy. If it is not, delete the entry in this field, press F10, and select the correct trading partner ID.
In the Copy From Group ID field, press F10, select the group profile to copy, and press Enter.
Note: The copied profile overwrites any group profile information in the new record, except for the account numbers or alternate IDs.
The system returns to the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.
Enter the customer or vendor associated with this new profile in the Customer Name or Vendor Name field on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen. This setting links the account to the profile.
Note: The account number cannot be assigned to any other EDI trading partner profile.
