Document Types

Document Type in the VIENNA Advantage is defined to distinguish different business transactions.

For example, a transaction like a Customer Payment and Vendor Credit Memo is distinguished by two different document types

Document Types define the parameters, controls, and processing rules for transactional documents as well as a name to be printed on the document.

While posting a transaction, the type of document must be specified in the header section. Document numbers uniquely identify every transaction within a financial year in an organization. The number ranges can be year-dependent which means that every year new number ranges have to be maintained. There are many document types maintained in the VIENNA Advantage System such as Orders, Invoices, Shipments, GL Journals, Production, and Inventory Move along with others.
