Hi,

Sold Party is considered in Billing Header for profitability analysis -

Profitability is based on you customer. In other words it is the sold to party. And it should be calculated from the billing documents, not from the sales documents. (Your income (Profit) is calculated only when you create the billing document, not when you create a sales order)

Payer is considered in Credit Management -

Payer is the one who pay the invoice amount. Therefore the credit management considers the credit amount of the one who pay it. Sold to party is the one who place the order. Ship to party is the one who receive the goods. Bill to party is the one who receive the invoice. (Just the document)Therefore, for credit management, we need to consider the credit limit of the payer

Ship to party is not showing in Billing header -

For billing document creation, what matters is the Payer and the Bill to party as one receive the bill and other one pays it. And also for billing document creation you can combine multiple delivery documents from various ship to parties. Therefore you can't have the ship to party in the billing header.

This is configured under below IMG path:

Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Set Up Partner Determination

There you can see a node for " Set Up Partner Determination for Billing Header"
