What controls preceding/Subsequent document Flow

[Former Member]

Hi All,

This is not a MM related, but a generic question.

1. What controls the Preceding and Subsequent document flow?

2. If I need to change/add a document, what procedure I need to follow?

thanks for your help

how the user works

you cannot add something inbetween an existing document flow.

Imagine the document flow is a ladder, you can go up, and if you are up, then you can go down again. but if you are at ladder spoke 25, then you cannot do something at ladder spoke 17, you first have to go back to 17, then you can again go up.

if you create a sales order refrencing an old sales order then the old sales order is the preceding document.

if you create a delivery for your sales order, then the sales order is the preceding document to the delivery and the delivery is the subsequent document to the sales order. a subsequent document to the delivery would be an invoice
