SIMG_CMMENUORFF_2210 - Maintain Document Types for Transaction Processing

In this step, you can adjust document types in Financial Accounting to meet the requirements of the Consolidation application.

• "Multiple companies" indicator

In order that the trading partner account assignment can be duplicated in a document when you post business transactions within the group, you can only have one trading partner per document. You should therefore set up the document type to not allow posting to multiple companies.
For some business transactions, more than one trading partner needs to be assigned when posting and so you specify more than one trading partner in the document. As a result, the system cannot duplicate the trading partner in the offsetting entries.
This is the case, in particular, for entries which are not sales-relevant, for example automatic payments. Entries to cash accounts are usually irrelevant to consolidation and therefore do not require a trading partner assignment.
For these transactions, you can set up the document type so that posting to multiple companies is allowed.

• "Enter trading partner" indicator

For posting to G/L accounts only (without direct reference to customer/vendor accounts), you may need document types which allow manual assignment of trading partners. This is the case, for example, with group-internal transfers within the income statement.

1. Check which document types you require for your work flow management.
2. For each document type, specify whether posting to multiple companies will be allowed. You usually do not allow posting to multiple companies, in order that the system can automatically duplicate the trading partner account assignment in the document.
3. For each document type, specify whether the manual assignment of trading partner will be allowed.
