Purpose

The concept of the document chain is to select a document in the transaction register and to display all the predecessor documents and successor documents that are related to the selected document. Due to the wide range of business processes and possible types of documents, the document chain display provides a best-effort to construct and display the documents in a processing chain using various information sources. However, the customer must accept that the document chain is not guaranteed to provide a complete processing chain in all cases.

Integration

The document chain is designed to provide a basic level of support for any documents that post to GL Accounting or Funds Management (FM). It has extended support for certain document types to enable more document type specific data to be displayed for the document (such as status values dependent on the document type) as well as finding predecessor and successor documents using methods other than those available for all documents through the GL Accounting and FM data.

For documents that post to FM open items or FM actuals, successor and predecessor documents can be identified through predecessor references in the FM data tables.

For documents that post to accounting, successor and predecessor documents can be identified through:

• Clearing: the cleared and clearing documents have a predecessor/successor relationship

• Reversal: the reversed and reversal documents have a predecessor/successor relationship

• Invoice Reference: certain types of invoice reference (BSEG-REBZG) are used to determine relationships

Document types for which extended support is available include:

• FM: Earmarked Funds documents

• Purchasing: Purchase Orders, Purchase Requisitions, Outline Agreements

• Inventory Management: Goods Movement

• Logistics Invoice Verification: Invoices

• Sales and Distribution: Orders and Billing Documents

Prerequisites
