Dear sri

You can see all standard order types in VOV8. Depending upon the client's process you can either adopt to standard order type or due to the process, if you want to make changes in configuration, then it is recommended to copy the standard and rename it with letter Z.

For example, for normal sales, the order type is OR and you can either assign this standard itself. If would like to make any changes in OR, as already suggested, please make a copy and do changes.

thanks

Hi sri

if you want to go for new order type then copy standard into Z doc type. for example (OR to ZOR) , because there are tables which are assigned to the doc type internally that get copied when you copy from standard .

If your requirement is for same sort of doc type with diff changes suggestions is go for (OR to ZOR)

Now when you copy form standard to Z doc type , you need to configure as per your requirement in the VOV4 also

Hi Sri,

The first would offcourse be to identify if your scenario is already represented by some doc type provided in std SAP. If yes simply copy it with Z name by going to VOV8 transaction. Otherwise you can select the from the list of sales doc types one which closely represents our scenario with all the dependent entries and make the required modifications wherever necessary. This is an SAP recommeded practice to create new documents.

Now depending on the modifications made you need make sure that the item cat determinations are maintained at VOV4 and VOV7. Then the required copy control settings.
