If it's work from another employee in your company and the manual was
written under your company's copyright then it is perfectly fine to copy
word for word without noting the source in another manual under the same
company's copyright. Any employee writing documentation for a company,
whether the documentation is internal or external, is acting as an agent
for the company.
Basically, in this situation it's OK because technically you are quoting
yourself.
