Copying an Order to Create a New Order
Aside from Clone Order via Back End Order Entry (which is the recommended method in most cases), there are two options for creating a copy of an order, in the “Tools” section of possible actions, from the review order page:
Copy Order
Copy Order to Clipboard
The Copy Order tool copies the order “as is” including any populated custom fields, shipping method selections, etc.
