Should Cancellation Billing document type be assigned a accounting document type?

We have cancellation document type, that is defined as a cancellation of other regular billing document types. I noticed that custom accounting document type was assigned as part of our customization (from long back).

I am trying to figure out the reason for assigning the account doc. type to cancellation billing doc. type. As far as I can see, the accounting doc. associated with the cancellation doc does not use the 'Accounting doc. type' that is specified (it uses the Reverse doc. type from OBA7 for the associated billing doc type).

For example, Doc 'A' of type ZF2 has Acct doc of type 'RV' and Doc 'B' of type 'ZF2C' has acct. doc of type 'AB' (which is the reversal doc type for 'RV'), eventhough acct. doc type for ZF2C (tvfk-blart) is 'YC').

What is std. SAP practice? should the accounting doc type (TVFK-BLART) be blank for cancellation documents?  or it does not matter.

Thank you for your answers. I have not gotten the answer to second part of my question. I am trying to figure out the reason why it was customized like this (and there is no documentation explaining the reason).

So trying to understanding, what would the purpose behind putting document type in the Cancellation document. As per my understanding, if the document type is empty, it will take the reversal document type of the cancelled document (As you can see in the example of note 1259505).

I would assume that will meet most of the requirements. What would be the purpose behind adding a different document type to Cancellation document?

Hi

Usually it is related with number ranges (for instance, tax authorities requirement or enhance the control related with this kind of mistakes in organizations) because you can see there are little options to rule its behavior.

Krish,

For example, Doc 'A' of type ZF2 has Acct doc of type 'RV' and Doc 'B' of type 'ZF2C' has acct. doc of type 'AB' (which is the reversal doc type for 'RV'), eventhough acct. doc type for ZF2C (tvfk-blart) is 'YC').

The accounting document type given in ZF2C is customized (starting with Y, (Z)).

Business requirement could have been easy of identification, for reporting etc. based on a different number range. (which shall not mix up with accounting documents, created for different processes).

Hi,

As per standard if the document type in VOFA is blank, it wil ltake RV  while creating the accounting

It is not mandatory to assign Accounting document type in cancellation Billing document type

By default it will pick from OBA7

Hi Gopal,

Please check the authorization group in assigned accounting doc, you people might have needed to protect the access that is why they might have created new authorization group and so there fore assigned to new accounting doc and so on to cancellation doc type.
