Shilpa Praveen,

1. Sales Document Category: It Consists of list of documents that are executed for different types of sales and distribution scenarios

Tcode : VOV8 --> Choose Document Click Details screen

2. Billing Types: It lists Billing Document types that require different processing by the system

Tcode: VOFA

3. Billing Category : It is used to differntiate billing documents based on the requirements for invoice printing...etc Down payment, Billing equest etc... we use this billing category =p when we use billing document for down payment.

Tcode: VOFA

Hi

Billing category (used in a billing type)

Used to differentiate the billing documents by requirements for:

u2022 invoice printing (selection criterion)

u2022 billing document creation (selection criterion)

u2022 forwarding to Financial Accounting

SD document category (used in a billing type and also in order type)

A classification for the different types of documents that you can process in the sales and distribution system (for example: quotations, sales orders, deliveries, and invoices).

Use

The document category determines how the system stores and keeps track of document data. It enables the system to provide you with status information about delivery processing, billing, and documents that are used for reference (for example, inquiries and quotations).

Unfortunately you cannot create more keys for both of these it is all predefined and given in the standard

Billing type is different kinds of billing document types like F1 ,F2 , F5 ,BV and FAZ etc

these can be defined in t code VOFA
