Hi Kunal,

normally you cannot just change the document type for a document info record. So you have to create a new document info record of type Z09 and maintain the same data for it in transaction CV01N. Since this new document info record is created you can delete the older wrong document info record which is no longer used.

Another possibility could be to use a DMS BAPI sequence. Here you can read out the whole data with BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 from the initial document info record. Then you can hand over this data to BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 and change just the document type to Z09. At the end execute BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to create the new document info record in your database tables. Afterwards you should be able to see the new document in transaction CV03N as well with the same data.

I hope this could be useful for you.

Best regards,

Christoph

Hi Kunal,

I'm glad to hear that the provided information was useful and thanks for the assigned points. If you want to delete a document info record then you can set the 'Deletion indicator' for it. This can be done in transaction CV02N. On the top of the first tab you will find this indicator and by double-clicking you can set it.

After the indicator is set, you can use report MCDOKDEL to delete all document info record with a set deletion indicator in transaction SE38.

Best regards,
