Definition

The meaning of the document type depends on the area for which it is used. These areas include:

1. Purchase order
   Identification used to differentiate between the variants of purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the R/3 System. The order type controls, for example, number assignment for a purchase order and specifies which fields you have to maintain.
2. Inbound delivery
   Classification used to differentiate between different types of delivery. The delivery type specifies how the system processes a delivery. Depending on the delivery type, the system determines, for example, which screens are displayed and which data the user has to enter.
3. Goods receipt
   Identification used to differentiate between different variants of purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the R/3 System. The order type controls, for example, number assignment for a purchase order and specifies which fields you have to maintain.
4. Delivery

   The delivery type specifies how the system processes a delivery. Depending on the delivery type, it determines, for example, which screens are displayed and which data the user has to enter.
5. Billing document
