Documentation
Definition
Key used to access a cost accounting document (such as a reposting of costs).
Use
The SAP system assigns the same document number to all line items resulting from one cost accounting document. The system creates separate documents both for internal CO transactions and for cost transfers from other applications.
The document number is unique within each controlling area and business transaction. You can group these transactions together into number range groups at controlling area level, for example, for 'Periodic plan values' or 'Periodic actual values'. You then assign number intervals to these groups. When entering a cost accounting document, you can enter the number from a predefined interval (external number range) yourself. If you do not want to enter the number manually, you can have the system assign it (internal number range).
You can use documents you have already created as a reference when creating new documents. This means that you do not have to enter the same information time after time, and helps avoid errors.

Procedure
When posting several similar business transactions, you can use a posted document that corresponds to the business transactions to be posted as a template.
All of the data contained in the template document will be copied into your new document where you can change it.
Enter the reference document number in the corresponding field to do so.
