Transformation Tool MenuSuite

When importing Transformation tool it creates seperate MenuSuite "TIFPM Transformation" with ID 52 and updates Company menusuite with new menu item "Transformation".

Problem with this menusuite is that users cann't see it in their normal view because menusuite created in Company menusuite has no itmes, just tree structure.

Sollution to this problem is to open two clients and copy/paste Transformation menuitems from "TIFPM Transformation" menusuite from one client to Company menusuite in other client. This copy/paste operation is done in design function of menusuite.

After copy / paste is completed you can simply delete TIFPM Transformation menusuite because all items are in Company menusuite.

Be advised to close and compile LAST one menusuite that you did paste operation.
