What is Document Flow?
The linked chain of predecessor and successor documents for a business transaction, such as order, delivery, and invoice.
Document flow is displayed from any SD document and shows status of each step. Testers use it to verify end-to-end completion and accounting documents. It is a key evidence screenshot in O2C test scripts.
