Integration document types

An integration document type represents a type of integration transaction in Financials. For financial analysis and reconciliation, the integration document types identify the type of transaction.

In Operations Management, each integration transaction is represented by its combination of operational transaction origin and financial transaction. In the Finance/Logistics module of Common, the transaction origin/financial transaction combinations are translated to integration document types. For example, the Sales Order/Issue transaction is translated to the integration document type with the description Sales Order/Issue.

LN provides predefined integration document types for all possible integration transactions and for all the transactions that must be identified during financial analysis and reconciliation. The integration document types each have the corresponding business object attached to them. For example, the integration document types for the various sales order transactions have the Sales Order business object linked to them.

In the integration mapping scheme, you can map an integration document type to one or more ledger accounts and dimensions. Usually, the debit side and the credit side of an Operations Management transaction are posted to separate ledger accounts.

Because a reconciliation group reflects the type of ledger account, each integration document type is linked to two reconciliation groups, one for the debit side and one for the credit side.

If you run the Initialize Mapping Scheme Data (tcfin0210m000) session, in addition to the integration document types required for the Operations Management packages and modules that you use, LN automatically creates the following integration document types:

• Currency Differences
• Rounding Differences
• Corrections
• Opening Balances

Most of these integration document types are only used to log the reconciliation data, for example, the Opening Balances integration document type. You cannot map these integration document types and the Use in Mapping Scheme check box is cleared in the Integration Document Types (tfgld4557m000) session.
