Create new document type

[#1]

Is there a way to create a new document type? I"m executing transaction OBA7, then pressing the 'new entries' button. I enter my new document type and the other necessary information. When I save, I get the error "Entry ZG does not exit in T003". ZG is the document type I"m trying to create.

I'm guessing that you've specified the new document type as the reverse document type for itself - that can cause the error you're getting. To get around the error, when you initially create the new document type, set the reverse document type to a document type that already exists. Save. Then change the reverse document type on the new doc type to itself and save again.

That was it! I was able to create the document type the way you described. Thank you very much!

Leslie,

When creating new document types, it is best to always copy from an existing document type, e.g. ZA and then make the necessary settings and changes there.

Good luck.

Thanks,

Tammy
