Inbound Idoc to create SD invoice thru VF01

[tamim_elmahmah]

Hello All,

I was looking for an Idoc that allow me to create an SD invoice (and automatically then an FI posting) based on an SD order (as VF01).

I found some consultants talking about INVOIC, others about ACC_BILLING.

But after somes tests, none of the above works as expected. (-may be I am using a worng process code...)

Is there an Inbound  Idoc where I can mention the same data as I will do in  VF01 to generate an SD Invoice ?

Thank you All

There is no inbound IDoc, to my knowledge, and it'd be a very unusual scenario that would require invoicing through an IDoc interface. As soon as all the preceding transactions have been completed, not sure what sense it would make to wait for some kind of interface to give OK for the invoice creation...

Anyways, there is an option to run billing through a background job, which could be scheduled at regular intervals or based on an event. It'd be a very short program to get a document # and to trigger an event for the job or just run SDBILLDL directly, whichever is preferable.
