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.

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.
