how to check invoice number before invoice list creation

Hi all,

Thanks for paying attention to my question.  I come up with an  business requirement , that is before invoice list creation, we should make sure no invoice list split happen for those billings should generate in one invoice list. For example, if 5 billings should create  one invoice list, if some one want to generate 4 billing documents and skip the fifth one,  the invoice list should not be failed when we check the invoice number for the combination. 

But I don't know where should be the enhancement point or user exit?

Hope someone can give me suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi

The billing split criteria is outlined in note 11162 this applies to invoice lists as well.
If you check the VKDFS table all due billing documents for a payer, invoice list type and billing date
are visible. When these 3 fields are the same, all things being equal the system will consolidate
each one into a single invoice list.

Your users can check this with the online simulation in VF24.
So for example in SE16 - VKDFS you have these entries
bill date       Payer     bill list ty   invoice Nr

09.04.2014 BERG         LR      0090002535

09.04.2014 BERG         LR      0090002536

09.04.2014 BERG         LR      0090002534

28.04.2014 BERG         LR      0090002542

You user can then run VF24 for these 4 documents only
and in the second screen press simulate shift+F5
In this example you would see 2 lines which means 2 invoice lists will be created
this is correct because invoice 0090002542 has a different billing date from the
other entries. So you get one invoice list for 0090002534, 0090002535 & 0090002536
and a separate document for 0090002542.

You users can do this before they actually generate the invoice list.

Hope it helps
Kind regards
