With Apex: Copy Records From One Object to Another Object

Hi friends,

I have a custom object 'MyFixOrder' which has 2 Record Types 'AccountMyOrder' and 'ContactMyOrder'.
I have another custom object 'MyPartOrder' which also has 2 Record Types 'AccountMyOrder' and 'ContactMyOrder'.

Fields for both Objects are Same.
- Name(Text)
- Date of Start(Date)
- Date of End(Date)
- Active(Checkbox)
- OrderType(Text)
Suppose I have two 2 records in 'MyFixOrder' object of 'AccountMyOrder' and 'ContactMyOrder' RecordType
then i have to copy those records in 'MyPartOrder' object with their record types.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please use below code: 
List<MyFixOrder__c> fixOrderList = [Select Id, Name, Date_of_Start__c, Date_of_End__c, Active__c, OrderType__c, Recordtype.Name from MyFixOrder__c];
List<MyPartOrder__c> partOrderList = New List<MyPartOrder__c>();
for(MyFixOrder__c fixOrder : fixOrderList){
	String fixOrderRecordType = fixOrder.Recordtype.Name;
	MyPartOrder__c partOrder = New MyPartOrder__c();
	partOrder.Name = fixOrder.Name
	partOrder.Date_of_Start__c =  fixOrder.Date_of_Start__c;
	partOrder.Date_of_End__c = fixOrder.Date_of_End__c;
	partOrder.Active__c = fixOrder.Active__c;
	partOrder.OrderType__c =  fixOrder.OrderType__c;
	partOrder.RecordTypeId  = Schema.SObjectType.MyPartOrder__c.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get(fixOrderRecordType).getRecordTypeId();
	partOrderList.add(partOrder);
} 
Insert partOrderList;
Hope this will work.

Hello Rahul,

Please execute Below code in Anonymous window:

List<MyPartOrder__c> partOrderList = New List<MyPartOrder__c>();
for(MyFixOrder__c fixOrder : fixOrderList){
	MyPartOrder__c partOrder = New MyPartOrder__c();
	partOrder.Name = fixOrder.Name
	partOrder.Date_of_Start__c =  fixOrder.Date_of_Start__c;
	partOrder.Date_of_End__c = fixOrder.Date_of_End__c;
	partOrder.Active__c = fixOrder.Active__c;
	partOrder.OrderType__c =  fixOrder.OrderType__c;
	partOrder.RecordType.Name = fixOrder.RecordType.Name;

Hy Ramakant ,
 you are right.

Hi Ramakant,

Thank You so much for the response.
but it is giving me error(System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object) at line number 10.
  
partOrder.RecordType.Name = fixOrder.RecordType.Name;

I think we are not getting the RecordType Name directly in a list 'fixOrderList'.

any other way or Anything else we can do to overcome this problem? that would be helpful for me.
