What is Sales Document Type in SAP?
The Sales Document Types control how the data is input by the users during the creation of Inquiry, Quotation, Delivery, billing, and so on.
SAP delivers various standard sales document types, some of them are as follows:
- IN – Inquiry
- QT – Quotation
- OR – Standard Order
- CR – Credit Memo Request
- DR – Debit Memo Request
- RE – Returns, etc.
Each document type has its own requirements. For example, the document types Inquiry, Quotation, and Billing require the pricing information, but the deliveries don’t require the pricing details.
When the organization uses different sales processes with different pricing procedures, as per the business requirements, you can create customized sales document types that start with Z or Y.
We have the following requirements to maintain the new sales document types. We can copy from the existing document type and modify as per the requirements.
