hi hari

u closed the earlier question without awarding points to the r3 thread.

To award points , click on the radio buttons on the left hand side of the reply.

award points so that to give moral support for sharing their experiences, knowledge and time.

<b>Regarding to the question </b> it is through the sales documents can be categorized.

The field name is VBTYP. and is used to identify which type of documents it is whether

inquiry

quotation

order

returns

credit memo

returns for delivery,

etc.

Hope this adds information.

Hi,

The document category indicates the type of follow-on document that is to be created. It can also be used to control how a particular type of follow-on document is to be processed. You can transfer the document categories in an intermediate document (IDoc) or define them in a profile for controlling documents in Customizing.

I hope this will add up to the above solutions given by our friends.

thanks

Hi,

By using document category we can find business object also.

Basically all the interfaces like ALE,and RFC uses bapi fucnction modules.

For bapi function modules business object number is important.

This business object is find in SD by using documet category only.

Along with this in work flow event trigger mecanisam will also done by using

business object.Again this business object is find by using document category.

Thanks,

Hi,

<b>SD document category</b>

A classification for the different types of documents that you can process in the sales and distribution system (for example: quotations, sales orders, deliveries, and invoices).

Use

The document category determines how the system stores and keeps track of document data. It enables the system to provide you with status information about delivery processing, billing, and documents that are used for reference (for example, inquiries and quotations).

Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Hari,

Different types of documents category are:

A Inquiry

B Quotation

C Order

D Item proposal

E Scheduling agreement

and many more.They play an important role because if for e.g. you change document category from lets say B to C,then you will not be able to use the document in VA21,instead that will be used in VA01.

but yes there are many more like returns,credit memo which can be used in VA01.

As you said this is the functionality of document type
