, you typically copy a dataset to create a new instance of existing budget lines in the dataset for an the accounting year with which you are working. You can copy one full dataset (from periods 1 to 12) or you can add multiple datasets and specify the financial accounting periods from each dataset. For example, in your first datasetif you are creating a budget for next year, you might only use periods 1 through 3. You might want to add a second dataset that contains periods 4 through 7 and a third dataset that contains periods 8 through want to use this year's Budget from periods 1 to 4, last year's 30/60/90 from periods 5 to 7, and this year's End of Year Forecast from periods 8 to 12. In this example, you are building your new dataset from periods of multiple datasets.

Copying a dataset creates an exact copy of the dataset (or the selected periods in a copied dataset) so that  you you do not have to manually reconfigure all budget line items.

Notes: If there is mismatched data, an error message appears. You must correct the data and resubmit. You cannot copy into a Dataset that is locked dataset. You cannot copy from the same dataset you are copying into. You cannot overlap ranges. You must copy all periods 1 through 12/13 depending on the Financial Year type of accounting year. 30/60/90 will only show in the selection list when a single period is being copied. EPEP Current (Profit) will only show if a single period is selected and it matches the period of the Current Profit.
