Alternative Accounting Document Type during Invoice Posting

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two queries which could resolve our clients specific requirement. It is required that for a specific customer we need to have 8 digits invoice number. We have attended this through SD user exit. However the Accounting document number range is external and hence same billing number gets generated for Accounting Document. This is conflicting with previous num range which is 10 digit. We have two alternatives to solve this as given below. Pls advise.

1) Please let us know if we can determine different Accounting Document Type when posting Invoice to Accounts. This has to be different from what is maintained in VOFA.

2) Is there any user exit or BADI which can determine separate number range for Accounting Document Type determined during Invoice Posting to Accounts. Probably this query is more relevant in FI Forum , but please suggest if anybody has ideas on this.

There is a UE during posting from Billing which allows us to post to a different document type during billing. in our case we use the same billing type for different countries with diff Billing number range using this UE. U may be able to modify this UE to include the customer number.
