Dear Christino,

there are many SAP processes in the standard, where you create the billing document directly with reference to the sales order. Only some examples of the standard processes:

- third-party process: here the vendor delivers the goods by himself directly to the end-customer, the recommended billing type here is 'F' (in Customizing of item categories, transaction VOV7);

- cash order;

- service order,

etc.etc.

You can check the standard Customizing of item categories in your SAP system in the transaction VOV7, here there are different possibilities for the field "Billing relevance" (F4-help) and you can see, how many processes exist, where the order-related billing is expected.

I hope, this info helps you a little bit further.

Hi Christino,

Following are the scenarios in which the billing document is created with reference to sales order.

1. In case of services where there is no physical delivery.

2. Third party orders.

- Create order (SD). A purchase requisition is generated.

- Create PO with reference to Purchase requisition (MM)

- Do the Goods Receipt.(MM)

- Do the invoice verification (MM)

- Create the billing document with reference to order (SD).

3. During complaints processing i.e., when issuing Debit/Credit memo to customer.

- Create an order type 'Debit/Credit memo request'

- Create a blling document 'Debit/Credit memo' with refence to sales documet.

4. Cash sale scenario. You create invoice with reference to order

There are many differences b/w cash sales and rush orders.

1. Cash sale is order related billing where as rush order is delivery related billing.

2. In cash sale the customer is not debited unlike the rush order.

3. In cash sales invoice is printed from the order but not invoice.

4. Rush order is similar to normal sales process except that the delivery is created

immediately in the background upon saving the order.

Reward if this helps..

We directly bill from sales order in following scenarios:

1. Service oriented scenario, where physical delivery of material is not done.

2. Third party scenario, as we receive the order from customer & place the same to our vendor with advise to directly despatch the same to the customer. Hence, we create billing document directly from sales order, as physical delivery does not takes from our premises.

in cash sales what happens is u pay the money right away .... the item will be given right away. so u can not go from there with out taking your bill. so billing doc is directly created ..

correct me if im wrong ...

hi,

in cash sales and rush orders the billing document is directly created.

While creating sales order select order type as CS for cash sales or RO for rush orders. in these two cases the billing document is directly created ..

REWARD POINTS IF IT IS USEFUL

thanks

So that means no deliver doc is created fat all or Cash sales and Rush Orders?

[madhan_narlapuram]

hi,

yes once u create CS or RO type order in VA01 , direct billing document numbers are created skipping the delivery . now once u created the order now directly go the billing (VF01) there u find the recently created DELIVERY DOCUMENT number by you . once u save that billing is also done ...

let me know if u have any more questions ,..

thanks

Madhan
