You can copy information from an existing contract into a new contract, an existing contract, or to a new modifier of the existing contract. For existing contracts, you cannot copy the components of a contract across categories. For example, you cannot copy the components from a Warranty into a Service Agreement.

You can copy from Contract Navigator as well as the results table in the Search Templates and Contracts window. In this case, you select the Source Contract and then search for a target contract to which you can copy the information.

You can also initiate copy from within the contract itself. In this case, the selected contract is the target contract and you search for a source contract from which you intend to copy components. You will typically use this method to copy service lines and covered level into the contract you have open.

To search for a contract or template:
1. From the Navigator, navigate to Contract Administration, and then select Launchpad. The Oracle Contracts window appears.
2. From the View menu, select Find.
The Search Templates and Contracts window appears.
3. Enter your search criteria.
Narrow your search by:
• Searching for contracts within a particular operating unit by choosing a value from the LOV.
• Selecting either a contract number or template name from the Contract Number LOV

Creating a Template from a Contract
A template makes it possible for you to speed up the contract creation process by filling
in frequently used values.

1. From the Actions menu, select Save as Template. The Save As Template window appears.
2. Enter a template name.
3. Click OK.

The application responds with a note informing you that the template has been created.
Note: You can save any contract as a template. When you create a new contract from a template, the application creates a new contract in the Entered status. The header, lines, and sublines from the template are copied into the new contract.
