Copy from archive document in BC

Posted on by October Sky 202
Hello
Has anyone found a solution to how to copy an archived document for use in BC? For example, say I have an archived sales order and I want to copy it (not restore it) to create a new sales order. Ditto with service orders, quotes, etc.

    Thanks all for the input. My main issue now is around Service orders and service quotes. There does not seem to be a copy document button available on any of the menus listed.

    One thing to note is that it is not possible to copy a sales archive document to create service orders.
    Sales Order and Sales Quote are OK.
     
    Thanks.

    Hello,
     
    I think you might have misunderstood the flow, you don't copy from the archived document.
     
    You create a new sales order, run the "Copy Document" function and choose the archived document instead.
