Dear all, 

Quick question. Is it possible to create customized "order" or "invoice" types in the SAP S/4 HANA Cloud? If that is not the case, Can we at least mofidy the Standard SAP Order Types in the system?

Regards

Hi Mustafa,

Creating custom document types (order or invoice) is not permitted in cloud environment. However, modifying the document types is allowed to certain extent - such as changing description, setting blocks etc. Only limited changes are allowed in this case.

Let me explain why....

Contrary to the on-premise environment, S/4HANA Cloud solution is designed for enterprises that need a standardized service offering (SAAS) primarily covering the core business scenarios of an enterprise or specific business scenarios of lines of business in industries. The core configuration settings is shared across multiple tenants in this model.

Additionally, each standard document type is linked to a specific business scenario (Best practice content scope items). And the project scope of a cloud service offering is based on identified scenarios. Hence, creation of new document types is not allowed and changes to the standard entries is restricted to a large extent.

Thank you

yes but I am not sure whether the next release of cloud will remove my changes and take the standard sales order type to the initial set-up.

The modification I'm referring to is a kind of personalization of configuration objects - not exactly the modification of document types.

The quarterly upgrades would not have any impact on these changes. In the Multi-Tenant environment, several customers operate on the same configuration based on their business scenario. Hence, the question of going back to initial setup does not arise.

Hi sai

Thanks for the prompt feedback. Is there documentation to show the restricted fields which can be modified?

Hi Mustafa,

There is no specific documentation available for this. However if you open a document type (order or invoice) in the system, you can see that fields that are not allowed for modification are greyed out.
