Definition

The indicator determines the document number assignment.

Use

If you set the indicator, you need to specify the document numbers to be posted. The documents are then posted using these numbers. You need to ensure that the specified document numbers are within an external number range. If you do not set the indicator, the document numbers are automatically assigned using the internal number range.
