Accounting document type for Billing document

[former_member431487]

Hello Experts,

When we create Billing document then the document type for Accounting document that is created is by default RV.

We can change this is VOFA for a particular billing type.

My question is that can we define accounting doc type for a particular sales order type instead of billing type. Reason I am asking this is because for one particular sales order type we can have multiple billing doc types so it would be better to maintain at the sales order type level.

Regards,

Karan

i am not sure about the config option and agree with Jelena regarding the user exit

Since billing document, not the sales document, is posted to accounting then, naturally, this is defined for the billing document type. There is a well documented user exit in posting from SD to FI, which may be used, but I doubt it would be allowed to switch the document type there.

Not sure what exactly is behind this requirement, but maybe there is a better solution that does not involve such change.
