Of the Document header is the upper area of a document in SAP Business One. It contains the basic header data such as business partner, document date, document number, and contact information.
Typical fields in the document header
- Business partner: Customer or supplier with address and contact details
- Invoice Number Automatically assigned or manually entered document number
- Document date: Receipt creation date
- Booking date: Date of accounting entry
- Due date: Payment term based on the payment conditions
- Currency: Settlement currency for international business
Meaning in SAP Business One
Together with the Receipt centre (Item positions) and the Receipt foot (Header and payment information) the document header forms the three-part basic structure of all sales and purchasing documents. The header data controls the assignment to the business partner, currency conversion, and document linking within the document chain.
Practical tip
Custom fields in the document header are ideal for project-related assignments or internal classifications that should apply across all line items of the document.
