'Propagation of Properties' report changes unintended document types

Hi All,
could someone explain how the 'Propagation of Properties' works?
I tested it for changing the custom property change. I have 4-5 different resource types with each property structure.
My intention is to change a particular property value. So,
I created a document of that resource type and assigned the value for it.
I selected the target folder(which also has other document types and doesnt contain this property) and give the property to propogate.
then in the result summary, i could see along with the relavent document type, all other document type and folders meta data also changed. However i couldnt see those changes in the corresponding object details.
I am really confused on how this is working.
1. Does it changes other document types by adding this property as a new property?
2. How can i see this new property value in the document type where the property is not maintained itself?
3. how to avoid this ? in preventing other document types and folders to get changed.
Please kindly clarify the questions. this would be very helpful in understanding.
Regards
Senthil

hi all,
Got the solution.
1. Does it changes other document types by adding this property as a new property?
             yes it impacts all the document types... including the folders
2. How can i see this new property value in the document type where the property is not maintained itself?
              if the added property is not part of property group. you wont able to see that.however the meta data would have updated with new property.
3. how to avoid this ? in preventing other document types and folders to get changed.
             Need to develop a custom report for the mass update of properties...
thanks for your support

Propagation of Properties report

I am trying to run this report to change existing properties on documents located in a folder. I understand I need to create a template file but I can't find any help on what that should look like. I have a document category called Manuals. I created a new document category called Qualification. I need to take some of the documents in the Manuals category and change it to Qualification. What should the template file have in it?

How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

Hi,
I have 2 groups of PR's, for group one the document type is picked as NB and PO is created and for the group 2 it should pick as XYZ and PO should be created using ME59N tcode.
How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N?
Can any one suggest me.

Hi,
There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
This will serve your purpose.
Thanks,

XL Reporter: Report Designer - Sales Document Type as Column

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding report layout in XL Reporter - Report Designer. Here's the scenario:
I have created a Sales Volume Report wherein the report should be able to display the quantity per material per sales document type (Sales Order, Invoice, Credit Memo). The Sales Document type is expanded as Column so that the user can view the total per Sales Document. My problem is, can i re-arrange the order of display of the 3 sales document selected. The current (and I think the default order is alphabethical) which is A/R Credit Memo, A/R Invoice, Sales Order. Can I re - arrange it in my Report Designer so that Sales Order will be the 1st column, followed by the A/R Invoice then lastly the A/R Credit Memo?
Another question, can I change the Display Name of the 3 Sales Document Type? By default, the Sales Document Name is being retrieved by the system. For other fields which where not expanded as column, I can easily change the Display name of the field, but for the sales document, I don't have an idea. Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Malu

If you want the document types in a specific order, don't add as an expansion, but as individual summary comuns, then you can add them in the order you want.
You can use simple Excel formula to rename the columns - hide the row with the column names & add a new row with if statements based on the value in the cell e.g. if (cell = 'Invoice" , "Inv-AR",'')

Changing PO Document type layout programatically

Hii,
My requirement is to change the PO Document type layout programetically. We have customized the standard PO Print report and for that we have created one customized style sheet. We have done the same for 4 types of document types : standard, Contract etc. Now while moving our code into another instance we need to set out custom stylesheet template to the corresponding Document type. Any one have any idea how can we do that from backend? We don't want to update the standard tables as Oracle does not support it.
This is very urgent.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

If anybody has idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Check the Filed Selection for ME22N Tcode at
Spro>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Screen Layout at Document Level
If You set the Document type filed as Optional then you can Edit,
If the Number ranges are Same for the Document type then only System will allow you to change.
Otherwise even the Document type is in Edit mode Still It will not accept other Document with Different Number range

Dear Experts,
Just want to know whether there is a way to raise PR through a project with a customize PR document type (except the standard NB type).
Your guidance is well appreciated.

Hi Gokul,
Thanks for your response. I assume if I follow this approach the change will impact for all projects. In fact my requirement is to have this feature for projects which only carries a particular project type.

Change of document type to KR

Hi Guru
I am new to Travel Management. I have got a query in Support project
While posting Amex expenses to the vendor account the client thinks it is posting to wrong document type AB, he needs it to be KR.
So my question is how can i configure or define document type KR so that while posting Amex card expns it will take KR as document type.
Maybe there can be upload file also through which the the data for amex card is loaded.
For time being can anybody tell me how to assign KR as document type and where to do this..
Thanks & Regards
Vishwaas K

Indeed for RPRFIN00-40 (PRFI) the default type was hard coded as AB but with the note 1340977 a correction was added so the document type could be changed.
Basically you need to check the parameter DOCTYPE_PRFI in the view TA20SWITCH as well as making that change.
Hope it helps

Reporting issue on document types

Hi experts,
We have an requirement in the report which is based on a gl cube,
where we need to show all the accounting documents of type DZ and the reversals of only these documents ie RD of only DZ.
RD Documents are not only the reversals of DZ document they can also be the reversals of other document types.
So how to show only RD document for DZ document types.
Please help me on this issue.

Change in document type while creating billing document from sales order

While creating billing document from Sales order it is creating with document type RV which is standerd one but i want to change Document type.
How can i change it?
Regards
Raj

Hi
If you use another existing document type, check that it has a number range suitable to you. Else create a new 'z' type and assign an entirely new number range, not used in the other doc types.
It is useful to make the FI document number the same number. If I understand from the forums, the FI number range must be external. Search the forum for this. It is very useful for the Finance people.
Kind regards
Dawn
