• Key Concepts: 
  Base document is a term used in SAP Business One (SBO) to refer to the original document that is used as the basis for creating other documents. It is the source document from which other documents are created, such as sales orders, delivery notes, and invoices. The base document contains all the necessary information needed to create the other documents. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SBO, base documents are used to create other documents. To create a new document, the user must first select the base document from which it will be created. This can be done by selecting the “Create Document” option from the menu bar and then selecting the appropriate base document. Once selected, all of the necessary information from the base document will be automatically populated into the new document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new document from a base document, it is important to double-check that all of the information has been correctly populated into the new document. This will ensure that all of the necessary information is included and that there are no errors in the new document.

The same process of selecting a base document and then populating it into a new document applies in these systems as well.
