Copying a maintenance document is done when you want to create a new maintenance document that is similar to an existing one so that you can take advantage of reusing existing information and not have to re-enter it. After the copy is made, you can then make changes that make it unique from the one you copied. This is accomplished by first using a lookup screen for the maintenance document type to search for the one you want to copy, and then clicking a copy action link to create the new document with new identification number.
