Hi Gurus,

Can anybody give me their valuable inputs whether same Billing type can be used for order related billing and delivery related billing. Both ways it should post into accounting.

Thanks in advance

Hi mohan

In copy controls some item categories wont be there for order related billing document and at the same time delivery related billing document does not contain order related item categories.So if you need to use only order related billing document then you need to maintain copy controls at order level and billing level .

Hi

I think it is not possible in standard

However you can do a small research by specifying Single billing type in both order related billing and delivery Related billing in VOV8 in the billinfg tab and post the outcome

Order related billing

Means your sales order is referred for billing

E.g Cash sales, Debit memo request, Credit memo request, Third party sales, Return order

Delivery related billing

Means after your sales order you will be creating the delivery and that delivery doc is referred for billing

e.g standard Order , Rush order etc

In item Category billing relevence field Controls whether it is order related or Delivery Related billing

Of course you should have copy controls in place

Standard Sap tells that there are certain business process like cash sale, credit memo request, third party requires a different billing type and certain business process like rush order ,standard order requires delivery to be referred hence delivery related billing and differentiates it logically at the time of invoice and hence your query doesnt seem to be logical

However based on scenario or your business process demands you can do research and find out

In VOV8 also if it is order related billing what billing type system has to pick up and if it is Delivery Related what billing type system has to pick up should have been mentioned in the billing tab

In the same sales order you can have two items with different item categories one with order related billing and another with dellivery related billing then at the time of billing system picks up item 1 whose item cat is order related billing with billing type F1 and system picks up item 2 whose item cat is delivery related billing with billing type F2 provided you have such settings in VOV8 and it will an invoice split in that case in standard

hello, friend.

i suppose if you make the necessary settings and copy controls, you can make a billing type for both order and delivery related situations. in the sales order types (VOV8), you can specify the billing types separately for order and delivery related billing. the system will allow you to input a billing type for both order and delivery related billing.

however, even if you can this is not recommended. having separate billing types for order and delivery related situations will also allow you to come up separate reports, separate postings & special account determination (via billing types), etc.

regards.
