Definition
The number that uniquely identifies the sales document.
Use
If, for example, you want to display or change a sales document and you have only the purchase order number from the customer, you can use a matchcode to find the document.
Example
You created a sales order which refers to customer purchase order number 12544-D. To locate the sales order, you can enter =a.12544-D in the sales document field.
The document number can be proposed from a user parameter.
The following parameters are available for the individual document types:
- AFN - Inquiry number
- AGN - Quotation number

If you enter a number yourself (called an external number), the system blocks the number from use by others until you have processed it. After you save the number, you cannot change it.
