Hi Ravi,

if shipping address,payment terms,incoterms,etc are same you can combine no. of delveries into one invoice.

For collective/ consolidation of billing when all the relevant data is equal ,the system can conbine multiple deleveries or sales document into one invoice.

This is maintained by using factory calendar & copying rules.

To create consolidated invoicing for a customer,first define factory calendar the payer is using and then assign to billing view of the customer master record for payer. The billing calendar may indicate you one day of week is working day,thus system only propses only that day for billing but system will allow u for creating sales orders and deleveries on remaining days also.

Copy control from delivery type LF to billing type F2

Apart from regular setting the data that is important to an invoice splitting or invoice combination is the entry in the field data VBRK\VBRP.

To create splitting rule, proceed to VOFM and select data transfer,billing documents.

Copy the std. 001-Inv Split . This is done by overwriting the number such as type 900 over 001 and press enter.

I am sure this will resolve your problem.

NO...this is not something that can be achieved via config settings:

Reason is:

SO can be created on 08/13..but deliveries 01 & 02 are made on 08/15 but delivery 03 is made on 08/16..

when your billing job runs on 08/15..del 01 and 02 are invoiced...leaving del 03...

this is not something customer wants..looks like he wants one invoice for a sales order..

there are many ways to do..but one way of doing is modifying your copy controls to achieve this..but there are performance implications that one has to consider.

Hi,

If the shipping address, incoterms, billing date are same then, you can combine the 3 deliveries into one invoice.

Go to VF01- enter all 3 delivery document numbers in the column, click on execute button or press 'F8'. The syste will take you to the new screen where it will show you the item 3 times. Just click on the SAVE button.

Now go & check the invoice document in VF02 and you will see the result.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi Ravi,

You can create one invoice for multiple deliveries if the Payer, Billing Date and Payment terms are the same. You wont need for any backend settings as long as the field mentioned are the same.

Go to [VF01] enter the three delivery document numbers, press F8 and save the billing document.

Alternatively, you can use [VF04] option to select the delivery documents.

you can also combine different documents (orders and/or deliveries) fully or partially in a common billing document:

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met:

the header data appearing in the billing document must agree

the split conditions specified do not apply

Process billing due list

The system combines documents with the same customer number, proposal billing type and sales organization, and attempts to include them all in the same billing document. If the preconditions are met, then a single invoice is created for the deliveries and/or orders.

Create billing document

When creating several billing documents, user exits can be used to reset the header data, so that more can be combined than in the billing due list.

You can use tcode---->VF04 to do the billing
