The partner copy function enables you to copy partner information so you do not 
have to type in similar partner profiles from scratch. Instead, you can copy from 
an existing profile and enter unique partner definition and key enveloping 
information for the copied partner. 

The partner copy function provides a quick method for establishing partners that 
have similar or identical trading relationships.

Note
You must export the partner profile before you copy it. If you do not know which 
EDI standard that partner profile uses, check the profile to obtain that information 
before you export and copy it.

Reference
See Exporting Partner Profiles on page 3 - 87 for more information.
