Populate FI document Number in document header text during invoice posting

Dear All,

Can anyone please suggest, if there is a standard configuration to populate FI document Number in document header text during invoice posting. This FI document is created through SD after billing document is created.

I can see that when the FI document is created, field reference (XBLR) automatically has FI document number. However, I am not sure, where this is coming from?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Just read your comment, as it is more detailed than the original question. What you are requesting is problematic, as it cannot be treated by substitution (which is standard solution in a way), for example. Because document number assignment happens on a later stage.

What is the business need of it? Why copying document number to its own header text? Anyway, if it is required for some awkward interfaces with local systems, the only way to do it is post-factum update.

Hi Eli,

Thank you for your reply.

can you please elaborate, what is post factup update and how i can update FI document in Document Header text using this?

Thank you.

It was a typo 🙂 I meant 'post-factum', which means that you can build a program which will update the document header massively for newly posted documents. But I want to emphasize one more time that I don't see any functional justification for this requirement.

Dear Eduardo,

Thank you for your reply.

My question is not related to billing document.

Instead, I want the document header text to be replaced with FI document number, after the FI document is created.

Is there a standard configuration through which I can control this?

Thank you in advance.

Can you let us know the technical name the field, or, is it a text mantained through tcode VOTXN? Because I am not sure which field you are talking about
