Partner Copy Dialog Box

The partner copy feature allows you to copy partner information. Once you copy the partner, this dialog enables you to change the partner definition and other identifying boxes for the copied partner.

Note: You must export the partner profile before you copy it. See Exporting Partner Profiles for more information. If you do not know which EDI standard that partner profile uses, check the profile to obtain that information before you export and copy it.
