Copy Free Fields (BTB)

The options in this category allow you to define which custom fields are copied when the Copy to Order (from an offer) or Copy to Installed Base (from an order) options are selected.

You need to specify the field numbers in the source info area that should be transferred. Separate field numbers using a semicolon.

Example: 59;62;...

The free fields with numbers 59, 62 etc. are transferred in this case. Field numbers can be viewed either in the mm_dbstr.txt file or by double-clicking with the right mouse button on the header when viewing all fields in the mask (View > All Mask Fields), see mmba.exe Parameters and Displaying all Fields in a Mask.

Transferring Catalog Fields

Free catalog fields can be copied by entering the catalogs field numbers under the corresponding option:

The FreeC( Head)1, FreeC(Head)2 and FreeC(Head)3 catalog fields are copied from offers to orders and from orders to installed bases.

The FreeC( Pos.)1, FreeC(Pos.)2 and FreeC(Pos.)3 catalog fields are copied from offer lines to order items and from order items to components.

Special fields when copying

As there are large number of free fields per info area, it sometimes makes sense to exclude those fields that should not be copied. If Copy Defined is enabled, those fields that are listed are transferred. If Copy Defined is disabled, those fields that are listed are excluded from the transfer, and all other fields are transferred.
