Control of the Document Type When Entering Bar Codes
Description
It is now possible to determine the document type for the bar code entry via the company code and the document type. You can thus control, depending on company code and document type, whether the dialog box for entering the bar code is displayed when entering a document.
The new customizing table is accessed in several steps, you access
- fully qualified with company code and document type
qualified with company code but without document type
- without company code but with document type
- without company code and without document type.
The first entry found then determines the document type. Make bar code specifications for object type "BKPF" and your document type in the "Financial Accounting Global Settings" Implementation Guide in the "Enter control parameters for bar code entry" step. These specifications can be made for all users or for individual users. Here you must select the "Bar code active" setting so that the system displays the dialog box for entering the bar code when a document is posted.
Note that the FIIINVOICE standard document type is used for all document types for which you have not made any specifications. For example, if you only request bar code entry for document type "XY", you must create a new document type and select the "Bar code active" setting for it. If, on the other hand, you request bar code entry for all document types apart from document type "XY", you must create a new document type for which you select the "Bar code not active" setting and then select "Bar code active" for the FIIINVOICE standard document type.
You can then proceed so that only the exceptions to your rules are listed in the new customizing table.
