• Key Concepts: 
  Suffix is a term used in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) to refer to a set of characters that are added to the end of a document number. This suffix is used to differentiate between different versions of the same document. For example, if a customer order is changed, the new version of the order will have a different suffix than the original version. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, suffixes are used to differentiate between different versions of the same document. When creating a new version of a document, the system will automatically assign a unique suffix to it. This suffix can be seen in the document number and can be used to identify which version of the document is being referenced. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new version of a document, it is important to make sure that the correct suffix is assigned. This will ensure that all versions of the document are properly tracked and can be easily identified.
