Custom Bill-to/Payer determination for Billing Document

[Former Member]

Dear All.

We're looking to see if there's a way to determine an alternate bill-to/payer in the invoice. Would be fine if we could do this at invoice generation or earlier in the sales order.

The idea being one set of products should go to a one bill-to/payer, and another type of product should go to a different bill-to/payer.

Would be great if there was a way to do this in copy control or other right when the invoice is generated, or an alternative would be updating the line item bill-to in the sales order for specific products.

How to implement though? Any thoughts or ideas?

Many thanks!

Hi

You can assign the Bill-to/payer for a customer in customer master sales area - partner functions.

Enter SH/PY and customer number manually.

So when you create a sale order if you put the sold to party you will get an option to select the req partners.

Thank you all for the replies.

Is there a way to do this automatically without manual user interention? Via config or custom coding in copy control, user exit or other?

We need it to work through VF04 (SDBILLDL) scheduled in the background.

Thanks.

You can implement in the MV45AFZZ User exit to change / update the Partner functions based on specific requirements.

It would be better if you maintain multiple Bill-to Party / Payer in the Customer Master Record. In such case , you would have to mention that Payer at that Line Item / Product in the same Sales Order.

Now when you will create Invoice , system will split the Invoice as per the different payer's automatically.

Hi

You can change the partner punctions at the item level manually during Sales order creation.

Eg: if the Sales order has two line items out of which the 1st line item needs to be invoiced to payer x and the 2nd line item needs to be invoiced to payer y. in this case you can manually change the Partner functions at line item level during sales order processing. Later as per invoice split conditions the Orders will be split into two invoices and sent to respective payers.

Change the Ship-to-Party if the goods also needs to be received by two different customers.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
