Documentation

Definition

The number that the customer uses to uniquely identify the purchase document (for example, an inquiry or a purchase order).

Use

The number establishes a connection between the customer's purchase order and the sales document you generate as a result. During subsequent contact with the customer, you can use the customer's number to retrieve document information. If the number refers to a purchase order, you can include it in the forms, such as delivery notes, that you send to the customer. In repairs processing, this number can be used as the RMA (Return Material Authorization) number.
