SAP Business One enables you to create target documents directly from base documents. For example, you can create a delivery directly from the sales order. In that case, all the data that you entered in the sales order is automatically copied to the delivery.

You can create a target document for an added document in status Open only. When you create a target document, SAP Business One copies all its open rows.

Note Note

When you work with a multi-currency business partner and perform the transaction in a currency different from the default one, the system selects this currency in the relevant target document.

Note Note

When you copy one or more base documents to a target document, SAP Business One observes the following rules:

  • If all base documents have the same value, that value is copied to the target document.

  • If base values are different, the default value from the business master data is used.

  • If no default value exists for the business partner, no value is copied to the target document.
