Symptom

However, in the Document Type field in the fine tuning activity Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing under Define document numbering formats for other countries the option All Documents is not available.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Select the Overview view.
- Search for the Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing activity.
- Open the activity.
- Select Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing.
- Click on the Define document numbering formats for other countries hyperlink.
- In the drop-down list of the field Document Type the option All Documents is not available.
Cause
The option Document Type All Documents is only available for the country Italy due to legal requirements. For all other countries it was removed in one of the previous upgrades. The option to choose All Documents for the Document Type is not desired by the SAP system. It is advised to maintain a numbering rules for the individual document types (such as Credit memo, Down Payment Request, Invoice etc.) This is the reason this option is no longer available.
Resolution
You need to define numbering rules for the individual document types.
