Configuring Official Document Number

To initiate the process, our primary task is to establish a new Official Document Numbering (ODN) Type. This ODN Type serves as a logically sequential fiscal identifier, applicable to either a single or multiple business documents. Predominantly tailored to specific countries or regions, its implementation is a legal necessity. Each ODN Type possesses the flexibility to be linked with various countries or regions and can be integrated into numerous business processes.

Embark on the following exercise for a comprehensive guide on developing a new Official Document Numbering Type using the app Maintain Official Document Number Types.

The next step is to set up the features of the Official Document Number Type and decide how it works for different business documents, like a billing document.

The exercise below will walk you through each step to configure these features in the app Configure Official Document Number Type Characteristics.

The final step in the setup process is to manage the Number Range. Based on the choices made earlier, you have two different apps to choose from. Depending on your needs, select either the Maintain Number Range for Year Independent Official Document Number Types or the Maintain Number Range for Year Dependent Official Document Number Types app.

In this exercise, you'll learn the essential steps to configure the number range.
