In SAP Business One you can duplicate documents and master data records. In the duplicate instance you can make the required changes, choose the "Add" button and… done! Of course, in each type of document or master data there might be specific use-cases or best practice. Take for example the Item Master Data. If you duplicate Item to which bar codes are assigned, these bar codes are duplicated as well and assigned to the duplicated item.
