Hi zhang

As far as my understanding went with your question is related to reference numbers . Reference numbers have a integration with SD and FI

Reference numbers

FI consultants must be able to recognize the billing documents that belong to the business transaction.Wheather it is a credit memo / billing document etc

To recognize this , a reference number which will be there in billing doc header will be passed on to FI.

The reference number can contain the number of the customer business transaction. This number can be used as search criteria for changing or displaying the document.

I am not sure but You can view this reference number or allocation number feild in the copy controls in VTFL.

Regards

Srinath

In Customizing for copying control in billing, you can define which numbers will be copied as

reference or allocation numbers:

Ÿ A - Purchase order number

Ÿ B - Sales order number

Ÿ C - Delivery number

Ÿ D - External delivery number

Ÿ E - Billing document number

Ÿ F - External delivery number if available, otherwise delivery number

so which one should I choose ?

thanks very much!
