sales document type - field indicator

[Former Member]

Hi,

In transaction VOV8 for sales document type, there is a field 'Indicator'.

What is the function of this field? There is no help associated for this field.

Thanks

As F1 help indicates this field is only for display in TVAK table.

So, it means if you are selecting this indicator, a program associated with this indicator would be running.

This indicator is used in certain order types only

for example

Order type RA - Repair order is assigned indicator F (you can also look for other order types and indicators assigned to them).

If you create a order with sales document type RA, you would notice certain changes when compared to regular sales order type OR.

The most prominent is button Repairs.

There may be others but you could check for them.

You can play around and assign indicator F to order type OR.

You would see that OR screen now resembles the screen order type RA. It has Repairs button associated with it.

In short, if you assign indicator to sales order type, it runs a program associated with it. The SAP program is SAPL080O.

Hi Robert

Indicator is used for further bifurcation of the same SD documenet category when you further want to refind the search criteria for example document type CR and RK have document category K but in case of RK the indicator mentioned D is used for further refinement of the search,which will take you to the invoice correction request document direclty for the search or report generation purpose
