Factor to take care:

1) Number range of doc type

2) Link to item category

3) Link to PR doc

Requirement:

1) suppose you have three plant and you want plant wise number range for PO min that case can create new Doc type copying from NB and give number range

2) service PO or import PO also you can define new doc type

document types can be considered as folders. we use folders to group together and differentiate between one another. The business scenario dictate the attributes, how many etc.

If some group of users needed perticular function the function should deviate with others.So you can cretea new document type and assigning new number range for the document type to get reporting purpose.The requirement any thing only for reporting and group of people needs and the selection perametres in PO.

What are the requirements which may need a new document type to be created.

If business requirements were not addressed by standard document type then you may

need to create new document type.

hello,

Mainly consider what kind of reports client is asking for.If material type , material group, purchasing group does not solve your problem then go for different PO document types

Thanks and regards,
