When you copy lines from another document with the Copy Document function, then you must decide whether you want the copied lines to be recalculated according to any values on the header of the new document.

If you select to recalculate lines, then item numbers and quantities are retained, but the amounts on the lines are recalculated based on, for example, the vendor information on the new document header. In this way, the Copy Document function accounts for item prices and discounts that are set up for the vendor or customer on the new document.
