1. The pre-delivered copying control settings are set according to SAP Best Practices. Therefore, it's not possible for customers to add new copying controls in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition systems to avoid inconsistencies. If a certain copying control setting is missing and the process is not available in SAP Best Practices, it means the process is not supported.

2. The scope item containing a pre-delivered copying control setting is not yet activated in your SAP S/4HANA System.

1. If the process is not available in best practices, but it is something necessary for your business, please contact your CSM or PE to raise a feature request if needed. See the detailed process in KBA 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Product.

2. Activate the relevant scope item to make the pre-delivered copy control entry according to SAP Best Practices available.

For example, item category TAX is available in the copying control to create the intercompany invoice (IV) for a delivery with delivery type LF with activation of scope item 1WO.

For new scope item activation refer to the following process documentation:

• 2-system landscape: Review and Request New Scope Activation for Manage Your Solution and New Scope Activation via SAP Central Business Configuration
• 3-system landscape: Activate New Scope or Country/Region
