Hi friend,

Billing type controls your invoice.

The document type controls the fi postings. The ouput type and the delivery text to flow to billing.The pricing

The most among this is the account determination. The FI postings.

and if u want another pricing procedure to flow in billing that is also possible.

Controls the number range of the document. The header and item controls are maintained.

T.code:VOFA
