Definition

Identifier that permits a distinction between the different variants of a purchasing document in the SAP System.

Through the purchasing document type, you can distinguish for example, between a purchase order, a RQF and a scheduling agreement.

Use

The purchasing document type controls for example, the number assignment of a purchase order as well as the selection of those fields to be maintained.

If the purchasing document type is missing, the correct document type is determined using the found source.

If document type is supplied, check is carried out on whether this document type agrees with the found source of supply. If it does not, the found source of supply is used to determine the correct document type

A standard purchase order is always chosen for purchase requisitions.

Conversions can be defined for each store in the internal interface profile.

Examples

If the source of supply is a warehouse order between a stock and a store with the same company code, the stock transport order is entered as the document type.
