Use
In this IMG activity, you create document types for business transactions in Financial Accounting. The document types distinguish the business transaction and control storage of documents.
For each document type, enter a number range. The document number has to be chosen from this number range. You can use a number range for several document types.
The document types are valid throughout the client. For each document type, enter a number range key. For the number range key, enter the required number range intervals . This allows you to specify intervals of varying sizes for the same number range.
Example
You have defined a document type for incoming invoices. A large number of incoming invoices have to be posted in company code 0001. For this reason, you create a large number interval for this company codes number range. In another company code, a very small number of incoming postings are posted. For this company code, you enter a small number interval for the same number range.
If you do not want to use a document type in a given company code, do not enter a number interval for this company code.
Note
If you want to post documents using the net method, you need a net document type (such as VN). With this document type, you have to set the Net Document Type flag under Control. For open item clearing with customers, vendors and G/L accounts, you can define a joint document type (such as CD) and a joint number range.
For automatic posting transactions (such as repost with clearing), a clearing document must be entered (such as CD). If you do not want to use the standard settings CD for the clearing document type, you can delete this document type and define your own.
For the document type properties, you can define a reversal document type for each document type. For document types with external number ranges, a separate reversal document type must always be defined, as automatic reversal is only used for document types with internal number assignment.
