Collective Billing

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I have a query related to collective billing... our client having two types of scenarios for grouping of invoices.

Scenario 1: Grouping of all the deliveries of different sales orders in a day and generate one invoice at the end of the day, this is specific to one payer

Scenario2: Collective billing of multiple deliveries into single invoice, specific to payer

Could you please provide some insight on how we can map the above scenarios in SAP, we are using ECC 5.0

As per investigation, i presume VF04 transaction provided by SAP to do a collective invoicing. However confusion here is , how system understand whether to do individual or collective billing during the batch running background. In general, we will execute VF04 manually for specific dates and click collective billing to generate single invoice.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,

Goutham

Hello,

the system always tries to group the deliveries into one billing document, if all the header fields and header partners are the same.

More informations are available in note 11162.

There is the field VBRK-ZUKRI which is left to add specific criteria.

This field is filled in copy routine.

For example routine 003 fills VBRK-ZUKRI with the delivery number (VBRP-VGBEL), causing the system create only one invoice for every delivery.

So to get your requirement, you should just run VF04 and specify the appropriate selection criteria.

Notice that VF04 has the Sold-to party as selection criteria, and not the Payer.

Best regards,

Ivano.
