Hi,

Whats the significance of the billing index table and how effective is the usage of the same in generating an invoice?

Billing Indices are usually created to facilitate faster system performance. It would be very time consuming to search for each and every order and bill it. Hence as and when a transaction (like order save, delivery or PGI) is completed, the system checks if the order is now ready for billing and once it is ready, adds it to the billing index.

The billing run now checks only for items / orders in the billing index and creates the billing documents. Once the billing document is created, it is removed from the billing index.

This way the system saves lot of time / resources.
