Documentation

Definition

The document type defines the origin of the document. The following values are possible:

Document type A

Applications which use the FI-SL structures, but work autonomously (Profit center, Reconciliation ledger,...) under certain circumstances assign a document number and therefore must also assign a document type - A -. As with document type S, the reference document number is also usually W or K in this case.

Document type B

Documents from FI-GL. MM and SD documents are posted to FI-SL indirectly via FI and therefore also have document type B.
As of Release 3.0, FI documents are posted to FI-SL via the RW structure and therefore have document type S or W.

Document type K

Documents from CO.

Document type G

Document from general ledger for global postings.

Document type T

Reverse documents for G (with the same document number)

Document type L

Documents from general ledger for local postings

Document type U

Reverse documents for L (with the same document number)

Document type S

Documents for which FI-SL assigns a separate document number for direct posting. For example, for the billing interface or CO documents without line items. As of Release 3,0, a separate document number is generally assigned so that the original document type is S and the reference document type is W or K.

Document type J

Joint Venture documents

Document type R

Consolidation documents (EC-CS)

Document type R

Documents which were generated by a rollup.

Document type W

As of Release 3.0, documents that are posted to FI-SL via the accounting document have document type W. These are all documents that come from SD, MM, or FI.
Document type W is generally used as the reference document type, since in this case a separate document number with the document type S is assigned by FI-SL.

Document type *

If you enter an asterisk in the document type, the system displays all the selected documents, irrespective of the document type.
