When the document is uploaded and you select a type from the drop-down list of "Purchase Invoice" on the first screen, Alfresco will show you a second screen to allow you to fill in additional metadata.

You can't change a document from one type to another. You essentially have to copy it off the server, delete it and upload it, setting the right type as you do.

Hi Invictus,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply invictus. As i came to know from google that i can change doc-type in the downward direction(parent->child) but not in upward direction in alfresco. Is it not right?

If any links related to node-service and content-service api usage examples it will be lot more helpful sir.

Thanks and Regards,
