HI Afzal,

Consider the following document flow:

Sales Order-> Delivery-> Billing-> Invoice

Sales Order --AAAA

Delivery -BBBB

Invoice - CCCC

In VBFA the field VBTYP_N gives the category of subsequent document flow.

Now if you want to get the sales order- invoice relationship :

Put VBELV = AAAA

and VBTYP_N = M ( Invoice Category)

VBELN will give you invoice.

Similarly, Now if you want to get the delivery- invoice relationship :

Put VBELV = BBBB

and VBTYP_N = M ( Invoice Category)

VBELN will give you invoice.

Depending on doc category you can find invoice, salesorder etc..

Reward if useful..
