Target Business Unit Group: Enter the business unit group of the target business unit.
Target Business Unit Code: Enter the code of the target business unit. Some business unit codes are restricted.

Target Business Unit Name: Enter the name of the target business unit.
Comment: Any notes or comments relating to the business unit can be entered here. These are recorded on the Business Unit Administration History records.
Suppress Transactions: By default, this check box is checked to prevent the business transaction tables from being copied, and allows you to duplicate the static data details of business units. If this check box is unchecked, all transaction details are also copied. If any transactions exist in the target business unit, they are removed, regardless of the setting of this option, as described in the subsection Suppressing Transactions.
Retain Audit Data: Select this option if you require the audit data to be retained.
