The extension of views creates the defined views in the selected material master records in the structure, if they are not yet existing in the destination view. BOM which do not exist will be copied in the plant view.
If not all existing views of the reference will be transferred, the maintenance status on the plant will be reduced.
Example:
A reference plant has views "Quality control" and "Distribution" with data in the plant and distribution record (MARC / MVKE). Therefore the initial plant has those two views in the maintenance status (Q and D), because a distribution view always has data in a plant view. If a new plant is cloned, but without the distribution view, the maintenance status of the target plant is reduced and will have only view "Quality control".
If another extension is made later for the existing plant structure and new views are created, the missing views, but also the maintenance status and eventually the relevant fields of the plant will be adjusted.

a Sales view is also cloned

sales data of the plant view are also maintained. For this purpose, ProMassOperations compares the sales relevant data of the reference plant with the existing

target plant.

This synchronizing will be performed plant but not in the target plant, the value is applied to the target plant.
This comparison takes place, where necessary, for all views.
