Documentation
Definition
A classification of the various types of document that can be processed in the sales system (for example, offers, customer orders, invoices).
Use
The document category determines how the system stores document data. The document type enables the system to identify positive documents or cancellation documents.
In billing
The sales document type controls on which side (debit or credit) postings are made in Financial Accounting:
- In the debit scenario, positive condition values are posted as credit during posting to income statement accounts for sales document types which represent a receivable from the company code perspective (i.e "invoice", "Cancel credit memo"). Posting takes place accordingly as a debit for negative condition values. If the sales document type represents a payable from the company code perspective ("Credit memos", "Cancel invoices"), then debit and credit are reversed.
- The credit scenario functions as a mirror image of the debit scenario, since a credit invoice represents a credit memo and therefore a payable from the company code perspective.
In the order
The sales document type controls whether the sales document is a positive document or a document with the character of a credit memo. For the "Credit memo request" sales document type the leading signs in the amount fields are reversed.
Procedure
In billing
- Use the sales document type in a manner which corresponds to the perspective of the individual responsible for the business transaction:
- An order billing document and a commission settlement document are of the "invoice" type in the standard scenario , whereby the former is a debit invoice (a receivable from the company code perspective) and the latter is a credit invoice (it is a payable from the company code perspective and therefore a credit memo, but from the perspective of the creditor involved it is an invoice).
- Only use sales document types which represent a cancellation for cancellation documents ("Cancel invoice", "Cancel credit memo").
- The pro forma invoice is not active.
In the order
- Only use the "Credit memo request" sales document type for items which have a credit memo character.
Dependencies
If the return item indicator is set at item level, this reverses the character of the sales document type for this item.
