On Documentinto which the data of another document, the reference document, is copied.

On Target document in SAP Business One is the result of a system-supported process in which a follow-on document is generated automatically or manually on the basis of a preceding document or a process action.

Explanation and context:
Target documents are created in various SAP Business One modules and represent the conclusion or the next logical element within a workflow, a disposition or a document flow. The source document - such as a quotation or an order - serves as the basis for generating a specific follow-up document, such as an order, an invoice or a production order.

Typical areas of application:

  • Material Requirements Planning (MRP): Out of the window Order recommendation recommended orders can be generated as target documents. The basis is an MRP scenario with predefined planning parameters.

  • Project management: As part of the Accounting assistants target documents such as outgoing invoices or delivery notes are created on the basis of project-related documents.

  • production: The scheduling assistant can automatically Production orders as target documents. Completed orders are also considered the end result of a production process.

  • sales: An offer can be converted into a customer order This is then the target document of the sales process.

  • Authorisations: Documents that have been successfully approved receive the status "Approved" and are considered the final target document of the approval workflow.

  • Workflow: At the end of a workflow, there can be an automatically generated document - e.g. an order or an invoice - which serves as the target document.
  • Parked receipts: A draft that is posted is transformed into an active accounting target document.

Differentiation from related terms:

  • Follow-up document: On Target document is always a follow-on document, but not every follow-on document is necessarily a target document in the procedural sense. The decisive factor is the function in the context of the respective process.

  • Draft document: Unlike the target document, the draft document is not final and can still be customised.
