Using the copy function is an easy way to reduce data input and create new Movements that have the same or similar information to an existing movement.
1 - In the Movement Grid, select the Movement that you wish to copy.
2 - Now select the 'Copy' button.
3 - A new copy Movement screen will appear where you can change:
Pick Up State and Drop Off State
Pick Up Location and Drop Off Location
Material Type
(If Applicable) Movement Authorisation ID
If the Movement is commercially confidential
Number of Copies (20 copies maximum in one instance)
Tick the check box "Select to automatically submit the information entered before the movement is picked up ('In Transit' status" if you want to create multiple movements with the same status.
Leave the check box unticked if you want movements to be in created status
For example, if you have a movement in "Ready To Move" and want multiple movements to be in that status, proceed to tick the check box.
Fill out these new details as needed and select COPY.
If your pick up and drop off locations are in different States then a second Material ID option will appear where a destination state Material ID should be selected from the options available (click search box to see options).
4 - You will then be brought to the Movement summary page of the new copied Movement. This copied movement will have a 'Created' Status and much of the information entered in the previous Movement will have been copied across and prefilled into the steps of this Movement. All you have to do now is go into the steps and make any necessary changes before submitting them.

The button to copy will be disabled if you do not have permission or the ability to copy.
The copy button may be disabled for the below reasons:
Only the organisation that created the Movement can copy the Movement.
You cannot copy a Movement if the material or location has been archived
