Referenced Documents are All Around

This blog post is part of a series called “Tip of the Week”.

Transactions, records, steps in a process, activities, actions… doesn’t matter how you refer to it – it’s there, and if you run a business you know that keeping track is one of the keys to success. This is probably one of the reasons for investing in smart filing and searching methods…

Although SAP Business One supports various business processes and enables you to flexibly define yours, there are cases where you need to refer documents to one another even if they are not deriving from a defined flow. For that purpose you may use the “Referenced Documents” feature that is enhanced to support also Incoming and Outgoing Payments, Inventory Revaluation, Inventory Counting, and Inventory Posting:

As enabled in other documents, you can use this functionality to refer various documents and transactions including external documents to the given documents. If relevant, you can narrow down the variety of the available documents by selecting the option “Only Reference Business Partner on Main Document”.

Available in SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2008 and SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2008, version for SAP HANA.

      hi Ahmedabad Support ,

      Thank you for your comment.

      The column Ref. Amount is used for additional information related to tax reporting in certain countries.

      If this is irrelevant to your company, you can simply hide it via "Form Settings" window.

      regards,

      Maya

      Good morning guys!

      Question about ServiceLayer: we are sending the DocumentReferences/AccessKey field in an Add CreditNotes request to ServiceLayer, but despite the success of the request, it is not recording the RIN21.AccessKey field. Writes other fields including RIN21.RefAccKey, but does not write RIN21.AccessKey.

      Request:

      Request%20of%20Add%20CreditNotes

      Request of Add CreditNotes

      Response:

      Response%20of%20Add%20CreditNotes

      Response of Add CreditNotes

      Does anyone know if it doesn't record due to some SAP Rule, or could it be a limitation of the ServiceLayer?

      Thanks!

      Hi Rafael Hernandes Ogeda,

      I quickly checked it in the DEMO database on FP2305 for Brazil localization.

      In SAP Business One client, AccessKey column is enabled only when Transaction Type is External Document.

      Refer to this link for more information: https://answers.sap.com/questions/13941561/referenced-document-through-service-layer.html

      Kind regards,
