It is possible to copy details of _accounts_ from one period to another.  
The same can be done for a _reconciliation_.  
However, since a reconciliation does not have a _details_ drop, I was wondering what information is actually being copied here?  
I tried to copy ‘details’ from a custom reconciliation template of one period to another, but no data seems to be actually copied.  
Is it possible to explain where information can be stored on a reconciliation in order to be able to copy it to another period please?

Thanks in advance.  
BR,  
Robin

Hi Robin

You can do this by working with a result tag.

For example, in the template Belastingberekening you can see the tag

> {% result “bel\_liq\_res” 0.10\*custom.belastbaar.liquidatie\_reserve %}

You can refer to this tag somewhere else by using

> {{ period.reconciliations.belastingberekening.results.bel\_liq\_res }}

With “belastingberekening” being the handle of the reconciliation template.

In general you can use the following tag to refer to any result in a reconciliation with a handle.

> {{ period.reconciliations.handle\_reconciliation.results.name\_result }}

You can add as many results in a custom template as you like. If you want to use a result in one of the templates of the template collection of silver and it doesn’t exist yet, you can always ask.

Hopefully this answers your question

Kind regards  
Sam

Hi @SamVanEenoo,

Actually I am talking about something completely different than what can be accomplished with the _result_ tag…

I want to be able to _copy details_ (input provided by the user) from _one period to another_.  
[Some other topic on this forum](https://community.silverfin.com/t/copy-data-from-one-period-to-another-for-the-same-template-account/297) mentions how this works for the details on a _account_:

> Every variable which has as name like: detail.custom.naam\_variabele as a name will be copied from one period to another.

I was asking how this works for _reconciliations_, since they do not have a _details_ drop.

In the meantime, I found out that it seems like the complete _custom_ drop from the reconciliation is duplicated when copying the reconciliation details from one period to another, which is exactly how I hoped it would work 🙂

My question can therefore be considered as resolved. 🙂

Hi @robin.bailleul

Sorry for misunderstanding. Glad you found the solution yourself.  
As you mentioned. All custom drops are indeed copied to the next period in reconciliations.  
Keep up the good work!

Kind regards  
Sam
