Cross-Application Document Numbering 

Use

In the Philippines, a company’s head office and each of its branches are required to issue the following documents with sequential numbering, in its own number range:

·        Invoices

·        Credit memos

·        Debit memos

·        Official receipts

The system enables you to do this by means of the business place. If your company does not have any branches, then you configure document numbering in the standard way at company code level.

Prerequisites

You have completed the Customizing activities for the business place (see link above), as well as those under Cross-Application Components ® General Application Functions ® Cross-Application Document Numbering ® Philippines ® Document Numbering.

Features

When you post one of the above documents, the system generates an official document number and stores it in the Reference (XBLNR) field; this number does not replace the Sales and Distribution (SD) billing document number or the Financial Accounting (FI) document number. The official document number can be printed as the invoice number and it can also be used for reporting purposes.

The system generates a separate official document number for credit and debit memos (that is, not the same number as the corresponding invoice), but it assigns a reversal document the same number as the reversed document.
