To control combinations of the referencing document code and the referenced document code, the Document Allowable References table is provided. All types of references edit against this table: Partial, Final, Memo, and Inverse.
Wildcard values for the referencing document code (Doc Code) and the referenced document code (Reference Code) are supported to allow definition at the document type level. A value of ALL is used in such a case. Wildcard availability means that the application will try to find a record with an exact match first, and if found, then that record is used. If no exact match is found then an attempt will be made to find a wildcard entry.
Entries added to this table do not guarantee that a reference can be made between two documents. Certain document types have edits in place that will not allow this. For example, commodity-based documents do not allow references to non-commodity documents.
The fields on the Document Allowable References (DARF) table are as follows:
