Understanding Document Type Information

You can set up and maintain information about document types in the Document Type Maintenance program (P40040). The P0040 program updates the Document Type Master table (F40039), a single repository for information that is currently stored in various UDCs. The P0040 also updates the User Defined Codes table (F0005).

The P40040 program maintains document type information in these UDC tables:

  • Trace/Track Document Types in UDC table (40/DC).

  • Commitment Document Types in UDC table (40/CT).

  • Blanket Order Types in UDC table (40/BT).

  • Inventory Update Types in UDC table (40/IU).

  • Transaction Type in UDC table (39/TT).

  • Nature of Transaction in UDC table (40/NT).

  • Category of Order in UDC table (40/OC).

  • Other Quantity in UDC table (40/OQ).

  • Interbranch Orders in UDC table (40/IB).

  • Service Contract Type in UDC table (17/CM).

  • Work Order Type in UDC table (48/OT).

  • Carton Status in UDC table (46/RS).

    Note: When you add information directly into any of these UDC tables, the system updates the F0005 table . The system does not updated the F40039 table.

On the Edit Document Type Exclusion form, you can specify which branch/plants to exclude from certain document types. When processing specific document types, the excluded document type does not appear in the Item History table (F4115).
