Copying a record and all it's related records?

Does Filemaker have an easy way to copy a record and it's related records without having to do it all manually? I have a program that's used to enter quotes, the quotes are extremely complex with many related databases, my users want to be able to generate a new quote based on previous ones if needed since it can take up to 20 minutes to enter some of these quotes (they're for very complex fabricated parts). Thanks.

It's pretty straight forward, you make the related records a found set, via a GTRR. Then you dupe the invoice and uses the new invoiceID as scriptparameter for calling the subscript that makes duplicates of the found set in the related... But to dupe in the related could best be understood if you investigate the template I upload here ...the algorithm is only slight an update of:
