Documentation

Definition

The reference document number contains the document number at the business partner.

Use

You can use the reference document number as a search criterion for the document display or change. In correspondence, sometimes the reference document number is used instead of the document number.

The reference number is set in the billing document in accordance with the control in the document flow and is transferred to the FI document.

You can configure the customer purchase order number, the customer order number, the delivery number, the billing document number, or the external delivery number as the reference number.

The field is a separating criterion in the billing document.
