  2. In the Create Financial Data dialog box, complete the fields as described in the following table:

Copy a request or a proposal with a financial data table

When you copy a request that has a financial data table, either by using the Make a Copy button on the request or by virtue of an administrator's incorporation of the ksc_copy_request special command in a workflow, the following are copied to the new request:

  • All of the request's financial data tables.

  • The access control list, that is, the data in the Configure Access for Financial Data page.

  • Forecast costs and benefits in the financial data tables.

Actual costs and benefits and notes in the financial data tables are not copied to the new request.

The original request and the copied request are independently editable.

The same results occur for financial data tables in a proposal when you copy the proposal using its Make a Copy button. You can modify the financial data tables in one or more proposals and evaluate the proposals as alternatives to each other.
