Hi

Billing Doc. means the Invoice which is generated through VF01, while doing the billing system generates a accounting document through which the value of sale is posted to acoounting (FI).

To check the same you may go to VF02 / VF03 and enter the invoice no.( this is billing no) and click on the Accounting Tab it will show you the accounting document, select the same and click on the magnifying glass the system will show you the accounting entries which fenearted for the Invoice through this accounting document no.

You can also check the accounting doc through FB03.

Dear Akash,

In common terms:

Billing/ Invoice Document is a SD-Document, whereas

Accounting Document is FI-Document.

Billing document is created before the data transfer in the accounting.; whereas

An accounting document is a representation within the SAP System of the document (for example, an invoice) that triggered the posting.

When posting an accounting document, the SAP system updates the transaction figures in the accounts to which the document is posted.

Best regards,

Yes there is a difference between these. Billing document is used in SD side and Accounting document is used in FI side.

hello, friend.

yes. billing documents are generated in SD. they have their counterparts in FI in the form of accounting documents, which show debit and credit postings.

there are more topics of this nature in the archives. just enter the issue in the search field.

Hi there,

Billing doc is used at process level. Billing docs can be invoice F8, credit memo G2, debit memo D2. It is used to record a transaction / document that happens to bill the customer.

Accounting doc is created when the billing doc is posted into FI accounts. It will show weather a debit / credit posting is made & into what A/c.
