SD electronic invoicing

[Former Member]

Hello all!

Could anyone help me with the following: we have a customer who would like to receive electronic invoices (instead of physical ones). We do not have anything prepared for electronic invoicing and all our invoices are printed. Is there a way to obtain a file (idoc) to send him with the relevant data? In legal terms we would still send him the physical invoice.

Thank you very much

best regards

You need to first create the new output type (say, ZD05) in Tcode V/40 for the invoice to send externally (i.e as Email attachment).

Output type ZD05 and Application V3.

In the mail Title and texts enter the title (Subject).

In the processing routines select medium as External Send and program RLB_INVOICE , Form routine as ENTRY and your smartform (you have created Z smartform layout as per your requirement for this) name in the PDF/Smartform form.

In the partner function tree, select bill-to-party(BP) for External send. SAVE it.

Go to SCOT transaction check if you have node for INT , for example for us we have EMAIL, if not create one using the create button. (These things shud be created by BASIS).

Double click the node and a window will popup, hope that all the SMTP details are entered like Mail Host , Mail Port.

Now go to Supported Address types, select the Internet and press the SET button. now select PDF for SAP Scripts/ Smartforms and save thats.

Then create a invoice and select the ZD05 output type(youe can also do output determination for the same for your billing type) and send the email. and also maintain email id for the customer or Bill-to-party.

Hope this can assist you.

Thanks & Regards

Dear J Prakash,

thank you very much for your help. However, I still have a doubt. The parameters you define for the output message allow us to obtain a PDF on the invoice. What if we intend to send the information contained on the invoice to create a file that can be integrated in the client's system?

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Instead of PDF send data in spreadsheet format as per your client requirement.

Why spreadsheet? Most of the system do intergrate with spreadsheet for upload of data.

So, you need to work with your ABAPer to work on the same for the format of form.

Thanks & Regards
