Documentation
Definition
External number of a transaction that is related to the transaction that delivered the document.
Example 1
A sales order is entered in a store retailing system. A down payment is cashed for this sales order in the electronic cash register system.
The POS system sends the corresponding sales document to the SAP system. In this field, this document contains the number that the store retailing system issued for the sales order.
If the sales order was entered in the SAP system, this field contains the SAP (internal) number of the sales order.
Example 2
A goods receipt is entered in a store retailing system. This field contains the order number, the vendor number or the field remains blank.
If the field is not filled and the Qualifier field is also blank, the following rule applies:
- If the movement type is known, the system determines whether this movement type requires a reference document and uses a search strategy to try to find the right reference document. The movement indicator controls whether a reference document is looked for or not, and can be found in Customizing under Define New Movement Types.
- If the movement type is not known, but the transaction was identified as a goods receipt, the system automatically tries to find a purchase order to be the reference transaction. If this is not successful, a worklist is created for further processing.
If the field is empty but the Qualifier field contains 'Purchase Order', the following rule applies:
- The system tries to create a purchase order in the background and then to post the goods receipt for this new purchase order.
