Configuration of Sales Document Types

This configuration setting enables creation or modification of sales document type. Sales document type is an indicator which enables system to process different business transactions in different ways. Various document types are pre-configured in system and can be used for various scenarios.

• There are three options for configuring new sales document types:
• Change existing sales document type
• Copy existing sales document type and change it to new requirements.
• Create a new sales document type.

Configuration of Sales document type

Definition and configuration of sales document type can be divided in three parts

1. Definition of Sales document type itself (with key e.g. QT etc.)

2. Definition of additional sales functions (like number ranges etc.)

3. Configuration for general SD functions (like pricing etc.) We will study the configuration of SAP provided sales document type for standard order ‘OR’. Instructions

2. As a guide, the most common document types are marked with bold.A client will only use a few of above depending on requirements. Mostly copies are made of those being used. For example copy Order Type OR to ZOR. This way one can make changes to ZOR while still keeping the original configuration of the basic order types.
