Entry Document Family

Definition

Identification number assigned by the system for budget entry documents generated simultaneously in one program run.

Use

Budget entry documents generated in a mass run (that is, not entered manually in the Budgeting Workbench) receive a common document family number in addition to an individual entry document number. The document family number refers to all budget entry documents generated simultaneously in a mass run and makes it easier to search for these documents and process them further, for example, in a mass reversal.

If a budget entry document also has a document family number, this is displayed in the header data in the field Document Family . This field is automatically hidden for entry documents without document families.

Document families are created in the following program runs:

During the generation of budget entry documents from planning or budget data
During the carryforward of residual budget to the next fiscal year
During transfers between budget types within one fiscal year
During the generation of entry documents using the method BAPI_50_CREATE
During the generation of entry documents triggered by a Grants Management document
