# Clone Transfer Requirement

:lock: TransferRequirement.**Clone**

## Overview

This operation is used to clone an existing **Transfer Requirement** into a new **Transfer Requirement** with a different name and identical characteristics.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The Transfer Requirement exists in the system.

## Sequence of Steps

The Clone Transfer Requirement wizard can be called from the **Transfer Requirement** page within the Business Data Group. The default values will be taken from the current **Transfer Requirement** to be used as a base for the new object.

### Step 1: General Data

1. On the left side panel, add as many rows as desired (each row represents a new  **Transfer Requirement** to be created based on the currently selected **Transfer Requirement**) by selecting :material-plus: and specifying the property values for each new instance to be created. You can also provide a name for each of the new instances, however if a **Name Generator** is configured for the Entity Type, you can leave the field blank and a new name will be automatically generated.
2. Optionally, enter a comment for the operation.
3. Press **Clone** to complete the transaction and a new object will be created.
