With the introduction of contracts and scheduling agreements, it became necessary to differentiate according to purchasing document category. Different purchasing document categories are assigned document numbers in separate number ranges. Errors when reading the input data may lead to an incorrect assignment of the document category, for example, an assignment to a scheduling agreement instead of a purchase order.

An incorrect number assignment can still be corrected using the Change PO items function. However, an error message is issued until all items have been reassigned, since an order confirmation can refer to several documents, but not to different document categories at the same time.

To simplify this process, there is now the function Reset Purch. Doc. Category.

If you click on the button Reset Purch. Doc. Category and confirm the security prompt, the document category will be reset.

The document type is reset as soon as the SAP document data is adopted again when you click on the button  Mix in PO data.
