Definition

Alternative sales document type which you can choose during sales order processing.

Use

For example, you can enter an inquiry first and then, while entering the order, decide to change it to a quotation or keep it as an inquiry. Alternatively, you could change an inquiry that you have already saved into a standard order.

In Customizing, you can configure which alternative sales document types can be chosen during sales document processing.

Dependencies

The following prerequisites must be met so that the document type can be changed during processing:

  • There must be no subsequent documents
  • The document itself must not be a status-relevant document
  • The document must not have arisen from a service notification or a contract

Because the item categories have to be re-determined when you change the sales document type, the following requirements also apply:

  • The item category must be changeable (For example, a make-to-order item for which the costs have already been posted can no longer be changed)
  • If a listing exists for the new document type and you have already entered items, these items must also be contained in the list
  • If you have already entered items, the new sales document type may not contain an exclusion

If you choose a new order type, the system checks the following:

  • Document determination procedure: if different, the system re-runs pricing
  • Material determination procedure: if different, the system re-determines the material
  • Listing/exclusion determination procedure: if different, the system redetermines listing or exclusion
  • Free goods procedure: if different, the system re-determines the free goods

Note
When you change the sales order type for a sales document that has already been saved, both sales document types must belong to the same number range.
