SAP S/4HANA
What is Document Type?
A configuration key that classifies documents, such as FI document types SA or KR, or sales order types such as OR.
Document types control number ranges, allowed account types, field status, and process behavior. They exist separately in FI, SD, MM, and other components. Test data should cover each document type in scope because each can follow different configuration paths.
