    About this task

    When you clone a cost model, all data related to cleansing conditions, allocations, buckets, hierarchy of segments and rollups are copied over to the new cost model. Allocation lines are not cloned. You still need to perform allocations to generate allocation lines and run reports on the new allocation data.

    Procedure

    1. Open the Cost Models tab on the workbench.
    2. Click the clone icon for the cost model you want to clone.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
