Document Master related

[Former Member]

Hi ppl,

I create a document through CV01N transaction by giving the Doc no,Doc type,

Doc Part,Doc Version and inside the document i provide the Lab/office,Doc status and the change no.

After creating the document the requirement has come to change the Doc type

but when i go inside the transaction CV02N , the Doc type part is greyed out.

My requirement is that i need to change the doc type from Z05 to Z03 and that change should be reflected in the change no as well.

Plz provide your Valuable suggestions on this.At the same time we are not allowed to delete the Old document with the DOC Type Z05 and create the same document with a different doc type.Please advice.

Regards,

Kevin Nick.

Hi,

the problem ist that the document type is one of the keys in the main table DRAW (doc info set) an many other tables. It is - in my opinion - not a good idea to update a key in a complex set of database tables.

Therefore, in my point of view, remain only two possibilities.

1) Check why document type has to be change - which business meaning is underlying (different customizing of document types, other meanings etc) and try to use another field for this meaning.

2) Use fms to create a new document

Sorry, i know no better answer

Actually client wants to change only the Doc Type(in Doc Master)...which is the greyed field (we cant change). For that we have created New Doc Master with the Doc type client wants. We believe this is the correct procedure. Pls suggest that is there anyway to change the Doc type if we are wrong.

Sorry,

but i dont understand you question. You can not (or better must not) change the doc type, because -as i mentioned- it is a key field. So, to create a new doc master record with another doc type is the correct procedure.
