Collective Billing Criteria

[Former Member]

Gurus,

I want to implement collective billing (multiple deliveries, one billing document). can you please let me know where to specify the criteria for this? which should I set to attain collective billing. I understand that there are certain fields which must be the same (sales org, billing date, Partners etc..) but I want to see where I can set the configuration.

Points will be given generously to any helpfull answer.

thank you very much

Go to copy control VTFL, select your delivery type and billing type and click on magnifying lens on top left. There maintain as follows:-

Copying requirements:::::: 003

Determ.export data::::::::::blank

Assignment Number::::::::blank

Next select your item category there and maintain the following routines

Copying requirements:::::004

Data VBRK/VBRP::::::::::003 (or) 007

Apart from the above, while combining multiple deliveries to one invoice, you should also ensure that following are unique in all preceding documents

a) Payer

b) Inco Term

c) Payment Term

d) Account Assignment Group

e) Actual GI Date

f) Billing Date

g) Exchange Rate in case of exports

thanks

hi,

when you said unique, doesnt this mean that each delivery will have different details for each specified field? doesnt this mean that this will not combine into one billing doc??im kind of confused here..

When you consolidate multiple deliveries to one billing document, system will check for the (not all the fields) following fields in all deliveries.

1) Actual GI Date in Item Overview tab

2) Inco term in header level "Shipment" tab

3) Number of Foreign Trade data (you can avoid through IMG setting cited above)

4) Billing date in "Financial Processing" tab

5) Sold To Party / Payer in "Partner" tab

thanks

May be you can avoid this control but not others.

thanks

thank you very much. I suppose that is the most we can get out of the question. it is standard SAP.

Hi there,

I have an opposite question about collective billing: at the moment we started with sap, we've decided tot enable collective billing, but right now we want to disable this feauture.

In trx VTFL I see copy condition '003' for invoicing. Can you help me?
