Define document types for posting journal entries.

In this activity, you define your document types. Document types are used to differentiate the business transactions and to manage how documents are stored. This documentation describes the special procedure for setting up document types for New General Ledger Accounting.

For general information about defining document types, see Define Document Types.

• If you only work with one ledger (the leading ledger), proceed as follows:
  In this activity, define for all postings the document types for the documents in the entry view. Also assign a number range to the document types.

Example:,,
Document Type SA, G/L Account Document, Number Range 01
Document Type SB, G/L Account Posting, Number Range 12

• If you work with a leading ledger and with non-leading ledgers, proceed as follows:
  Since the majority of postings have the same effect in all ledgers, in this Customizing activity, define the document types for the entry view for postings that affect all ledgers. Also assign a number range to the document types.

Example:
Document Type SA, G/L Account Document, Number Range 01
Document Type SB, G/L Account Posting, Number Range 12

In the case of postings that do not have the same effect on all ledgers, proceed as follows:

• Postings only for the leading ledger:
  Define a separate document type for these postings. Assign a unique number range to this document type.

Example:
Document Type SX, Closing Postings, Number Range 90

• Postings for non-leading ledgers:
  You make these settings under Define Document Types for Entry View in a Ledger.

• Postings for non-leading ledgers:
  You make these settings in the app Define Document Types in a Ledger.

Note

By segregating the ledger-related postings (here, the leading ledger) in a separate number range, you ensure the contiguous assignment of document numbers at the ledger level for each number range.

When editing and copying a document type, you cannot change the reversal document type and the attributes of the account types. This ensures the consistency of the attributes of document types and the completeness during document splitting.
