Also,

For this purpose, the system requiresrules that determine which information is to be taken from the doc header or from the doc. line item and placed in the field....the rules can be stored in the master reocrd of an account which enables you to determine the std sort sequence on an account specific basis....

note : field information from the another doc line item cannot be adopted into the field of a particular item..

> GO to OMSX --> click on create vedorcentrally --> co.code data --> Account management --> here make the sort key as optional.......

hi,

use of sort key is basically for the Account person.

when document is posted in MIRO it is liable to to pay for that vendor.

now account person can see the list of that document in his report FB03.

wherein he can see the reference of that document with the help of SORT KEY.

e.g

say if sort key is selected as PO no and Po item.

then in FB03 he can see the

accounting document with reference of PO no and item no in PO.

hi,

Sort key :

It indicates the layout for the allocation field in the document line item....

the system usese a std sort sequence for displaying line items..among other things, it sorts the items acc. to the acontent of the allocation field....this feild can be filled either manually or auto..when the doc line item is entered..

Hope it helps..
