• Key Concepts: 
  Clone is a feature in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) that allows users to create a copy of an existing master data record. This copy can then be modified and used as a template for creating new records. Cloning is useful for quickly creating multiple records with similar data, such as when creating customer accounts or product records.
  
  How to use it: 
  To clone a record in SAP NetWeaver MDM, open the record you wish to clone and select the “Clone” option from the menu. This will create a copy of the record with all of its data intact. You can then modify the cloned record as needed and save it as a new record.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When cloning a record, make sure to check all of the data fields to ensure that they are correct and up-to-date. Also, be sure to save the cloned record with a unique name so that it can be easily identified later on.
