Hi,

Sales Doc type : A sales doc type is a doc which controls how the data is to function,how it is to be displayed and the pricing of the document type.

A sales doc is devided into

1. Pre sales Doc: Inquiry,Quotation

2. Sales orders : cash sales,Rush orders,Order

3. Outline agrements: Rebates,contracts etc

4. Complints : debit memo,credit memos etc

5. Special sales Docs : Third partysales,Consignment sales etc

All the 5 mentioned above are different document types.

Based on the Doc type which we enter in the transaction the system will repond according to that.

Reward if it helps..

Hi,

The document type refers to all the kinds of documents which are used in SAP, this iscludes Sales documents, delivery documents, billing documents, material documents, accounting documents, service documents, production documents etc...

Sales documents are pertaining to sales and distribution. For example, sales order, credit memo, debit memo, invoice requests... etc...

Hope you are clear with this.
