When you create a sales order with reference to a quotation, you want to ensure the entire quotation is always included in the order. Where do you make this setting?

Explanation

Copying control (configured via transaction VTAA in SAP SD) governs exactly how data flows from one sales document to another - including which items are transferred and whether a complete or partial reference is allowed. By setting the appropriate copying requirements and item selection rules in copying control, you can enforce that all quotation line items must be included when the sales order is created, preventing partial references.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Order type defines general sales order behavior (number ranges, document category, etc.) but has no settings governing completeness of a reference document.
• C. Quotation type controls the quotation's own behavior, not how downstream documents reference it.
• D. Order item category governs item-level processing rules (billing relevance, delivery, pricing) - not cross-document copying logic.

Memory tip: Whenever a question involves copying from one sales document to another (quotation → order, order → delivery, etc.), the answer almost always points to Copying Control - it's the central place SAP controls all document-to-document data transfer rules.
