SAP Invoice List to website

[former_member1380295]

Hi,

My company is considering bringing an invoice list to our website for our customers to see. It's kind of statement of account that customer can check over the internet instead of receiving it from the mail.

Does anyone had experience in implementing this? Can you please provide me of things to do to implement this?

Any contribution you can give will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Zenon:

I am no ABAPer so I can only give you an overview of how our custom program handles it.

Description: SD - Create Invoices data files for company website

*

• This is a customized data extract that will be executed daily

• (in Batch) to provide the company website with data on all

• Invoices that were generated between a specified date range.

• Using this data, the website will then be able to replicate

• the actual SAP invoice, therefore providing customers

• the ability to view their invoices online.

*

• The following 3 files are produced:

• invoice_hdr.txt -> This file will contain one line per invoice

• and will contain header info.

• invoice_item.txt -> This file will contain one line for every

• item that appears on the invoice.

• customer_address.txt -> This file will contain customer address info

*

• The files will be written to the UNIX directory as specified by the

• parameters p_hdr, p_item and p_addr.

*

Best of luck!

Thanks for your reply Stacy,

So, you are not using the output functionality to send a copy of your invoice to your website.

For us, it would be like the customer would see his statement of account (invoice list in SAP) for a statement period. So he would enter this parameter on the website. Then an interface program from the website would run and enter this parameter in SAP, call the invoice list, create an output, and then an interface program in SAP send this output to the website. I am not really sure if this gonna work in real time.

No, ours are not real time. We do not have the technology and resource for that - yet.
