Documentation
Definition
Use
This data element is used for goods receipt-based invoice verification. In other words, the incoming invoice is based on a goods receipt item instead of a purchase order item. It is also possible that several goods receipts refer to one goods receipt item. Therefore, the reference document is the goods movement document to which the invoice refers.
In a distributed system landscape consisting of multiple logistics systems and one central financials system, the central financials system contains reference document numbers from different external logistics systems. For each goods movement, the logistics systems issue reference document numbers. As these document numbers are issued independently of one another, the reference document numbers are not always unique. For this reason, the central financials system creates a new unique reference document number for each goods movement; the number corresponds to the original goods movement document from the external (source) logistics system.
Dependencies
Example
A goods movement is posted in logistics system A. The system creates a goods movement document with document number 4900000123 and year 2010. Meanwhile, a goods movement document with the same number is created in logistics system B. Later on, a second goods movement with reference to goods movement 4900000123 is posted in logistics system A.
The central financials system creates a new unique number for both goods movement documents. Consequently, the following reference document numbers are stored:
System Orig. Reference No. Year Reference No. in Central FIN System
A 4900000123 2010 _000ABCDEF
B 4900000123 2010 _000ABCDEG
