  Check Copy Control Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction for maintaining copy control settings (e.g., VTAA for sales documents).
  Verify that the copy control settings for the source and target document types are correctly defined.
  Ensure that the copy rules exist for the specific document types you are working with.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Copy Rules:

  Ensure that the necessary fields and data are mapped correctly in the copy rule.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements:
  
  If there are custom enhancements or modifications in your SAP system, review them to ensure they are not interfering with the standard copy control process.
  Consult with your ABAP developers if necessary to identify any issues in the custom code.

  Review SAP documentation or notes related to copy control and matrix configurations for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
