Create Billing Output from VA01

[Former Member]

Hi everyone!

I wonder is it possible to create an invoice with billing output immediately?

I usually use create sales order VA01, create billing due list VF04, create billing output VF31;

I'd prefer to be able to key on an invocie and for it to create a billing document in my spool right away without having to wait on the overnight process or manually pushing it using VF04 & VF31.

Any ideas?

Many many thanks!!!

Hi,

There might be two reasons for this.

1. In the CONDITION RECORDS VV33 for your key combinations, the Despatch mode might have set to 4 which will send the invoice to printer once the billing document was saved.

2. Already batch was set to process the Outpts for the Billing with the Program RSNAST00 and in the condition records the Option was set to 1 which is send using the SCHEDULED JOB, so this will send the Invoices to printer which were once they were processed.

Usually every company will follow the Job method to get the Invoices sent to printer at night time schedule.

So check the condition records and as per your Option, you can find which way the invocies are printing.

Hi,

You can always raise invoice with VF01, provided you have authorization.

If you have maintained the condition record with timing 4, billing output will be triggered as soon as you save the invoice.

Hi,

For this change to appear we have to go for some seetings.They are mentioned below.

1.Goto the T.Code "NACE".

Select the application as "V3(Billing)".

Click on "Output types".

Select your output type.

Click on "Details" or Press "CtrlShiftF2".

Maintain the value as "4(Send Immediately(when saving the application))" for the field "Despatch time".

Check the value for transmission meduim.Ithink it is "1(Print output)".

Save.

2.Goto the T.Code "VV31".

Enter your output type.

Press Enter.Select your valid condition table if multiple tables exists.

Enter.

Maintain the valid values.Select that maintained entry.

Click on "Communication".

Maintain the output device as "LOCL".

And also check the box "Print Immediately".

Save.

If you create the invoice by using VF01,then the out put will be triggered automatically.

Or Goto T.Code VA02/VA01.After entering al the values,Click on "Sales document" in th emenu bar and then click on "Billing".

Even in this case also output will be triggered automatically.

If you want,then you can reprocess this output by using the T.Code "VF01",by selecting the processing mode as "2".

Thanks for that detailed answer, it solved half my problem. i was also hoping to be able to create teh billing output at the time I created the invoice (avoiding vf31) but I'm thinkingthat might not be possible.

Thanks!

Hi,

This can be done very easily,

Go to Tx: NACE

Select Application Area V3 - Billing

Click on"Output types" button

Select the Output type you use to get the printout. In standard it's RD00 - Invoice

Click on Detail button option.

Not down the Access Sequence given in the "Genera Data" tab.

Go to "Default values" tab & set "Dispatch time" as "4-Send immediately (When saving the application)

Save

Now you have to set up the master data for that condition type.

To do that go to tx: VV31

Enter the Output type there (Eg:RD00)

Press Enter

Based on the Access Sequence go in & enter data there.

Highlight the line item & click on "Communication" button

Select the "Output Device" as LOCL

Mark tick boxes for "Print immediately" and "Release after output"

Save

Then start from a new invoice.

You'll get the print out as and when you save the billing document.

Best regard,

Setup output record in VV31 with send immediate option 4.
