Practical Use of Document Type & Sequence
this part is from Trifonnt User:Trifonnt/Howtos_Hints#Practical_Use_of_Document_Type_.26_Sequence
- What is its real purpose of Document Sequence
The purpose is to have different sequence (Document No) for each document type. For example: Imagine you want to difference the PO depending on what you buy. You could have the document type "Purchase Order-A" and the "Purchase Order-B".
"Purchase Order-A" --> Sequence (Document no):A00001 "Purchase Order-B" --> Sequence (Document no):B00001
So for the same transaction (Purchase order) you can difference distinct sequence numbers.
