Copying a pay code rule lets you reuse an existing rule as the basis for a new one. When you copy a rule, the new rule inherits all attributes from the original (validity dates, conditions, actions, and action limits), except for the rule name. You can then update any of these attributes to meet the requirements for the new rule.

In the Secondary Interpretation section, click the open arrow to the right of Secondary Interpretation - Pay Code Rules.
Click the required pay code rule type for which one or more pay code rules have been defined.
The number of existing rules is shown in brackets next to the rule type name.
For example, Manual (3) indicates that three manual rules exist within the agreement.
The section for the selected pay code type expands and displays any existing rules.
