Document flow in Global Trade shows how far subsequent documents have been processed. This function is based at header level. All the transactions in a trading contract are documented a flow tree.

Document flow may, for example, contain sales orders, purchase orders, and vendor billing documents for expenses. The associated partner document is also shown in this structure. By selecting a document description, you can access the document in display mode.

The icon appears only if subsequent documents exist. By selecting the icon, you can change the display position of the document flow screen.

This document flow function is also available in the Trading Execution Workbench. You can see the list structure of selected documents on the left side of the workbench initial screen.

In the document overview screen, you may see the document flow view. If no document flow is shown, choose Display document flow.
