Invoice Consolidation

[Former Member]

Dear All,

i want to consolidate multiple deliveries into one final invoice.

for this i hav done following setting in copy control

Copying Requirement:004

Data VBRK/VBRP :001 or 007 (Tried Both).

But,when I am doing VF01 and entering number of deliveries,system is generating number of invoice document number=No. of deliveries.

My req. is to create only one invoice document.

Kindly give me suggestion on this issue.

Best Regard

I think there must be some difference in the header data for billing.

If this deliveries have same PAYER, PAMENT TERM, BILLING DATE, INCOTERM and DESTINATION COUNTRY, then system automatically combines them into one billing document.

Similarly, if the above data are not same then, there will be automatic invoice split.

So , all the above data, you may call it the "combination criteria" or "splitting criteria" and this is controlled through the "routine 001" at item level (VBRK/VBRP field) in the copy control.

Possibly, your deliveries are not satisfying the above criteria, that is why separate billing documents are created inspite of the correct requirement put by you in the copy control.For example, you can not have two different payer or two different Payment term in one billing document.

Some header data are differing that is why system has not combined the deliveries into one billing document.

In collective processing, you can go to the "simualtion mode" and you can have "split analysis" there to know the cause of the split.

Hi,

This is bcos of the export data.

You can redetermine it through VTFL -copy control, Goto header of the combination of delivery and invoice.

Enter B in the Determine export data. By doing this you can aviod the split.

Hi,

Kindly check the invoice type its picking when you enter the delivery document with the copy control customization which you have made.

Also check the split analysis whether its showing the reason or something different.

Hi,

Can you check the split analysis?

After entering all the delivery numbers in VF01, Presss F8.

Then it will show all billing docs, ther select all the billing document and click split analysis.

It will give some resons based on that split is happening.
