Hi ,

Amit, I dont think you are allowed to create new Document Categories, What was the need for you to create new document cateogory?? Rather you can use a new document type for your purpose.

The Document Categories are hardcoded inside SAP Programs to a greater extent.

So its not advisable to create one (if possible)

Thanks

Hi ,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Actually i m creating intercompany proforma Invoice. For this i maintain SD Doc category-5. Which affects my output description.It Dispalays Intercompany Billing instead of Proforma Invoice.

And if i use SD Doc Cat---U,Then Payer is coming as an end customer instead of internal customer.

Can you help me to solve this.

Hi,

For this requirement, why don't you ask your ABAP'er to make the changes in the program which would fulfil your requirement. I mean to say that if an ABAP'er put the logic in the output program {associated with your invoice output type} to pull the header of your invoice from standard text wherein you maintain the text Pro-forma Invoice then your problem will be solved..

If you want to use pro forma invoice function in cross-company billing, please check Note 833115 and 445763.

If you need a new document category for this document, please realize it in Domain VBTYP. The customer can define his own one.

Why are you taking the Description from the Document category, Take the description from the document type.

if the requirement is just for the print out / then i guess in the smartform you can design it how ever way you want. check with an abaper, you should be able to get it.

for this requirement i guess you dont have to think about creating a new document category.
