Hi Nitin,
Billling represents the final processing Stage in businees Transaction in Sales and Distribution.Information on billing is aviable at every stage of Order Processing and Delivery Processing.
Billing has an interface to Financial Accounting, the Organisational Structures of Accounting Department.
Billing will be always created with Referece to preceeding document like Order and Delviery.
Integration
When Creating the Billing Document, the billing data is forward to Financial Accounting.
Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.
After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.
There is no such difference between billing document and Invoice. Invoice (F2) is a type of billing document. There are many billing documents like
F1 - Order related Invoice
F2 - Delivery related Invoice
F5 - Proforma Invoice for sales order
F8 - Proforma invoice for deliveries
G2 - Credit memo
L2 - Debit memo
Billing (VF01) is nothing but a transaction to create the invoice
there are many billing document types which you can see in VOFA.
Invoices are part of billing like F1, F2, and F5. These are invoices which collectively called as billing documents.

IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Define Sales Documents Types
2. Assign New Sales Document Type to Sales Area, For Eg:
1000 (S.Org) / 10 (D.Channel) / 10 (Division) / ZOR (S.O Type)
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Assign Sales Area to Sales Document Type
3. Create New Item Category, say ZTAN - Copy of TAN (For delivery Related) / ZTAD - Copy of TAD (For Order realted) / ZTAS - copy of TAS (For Third Party)
Maintain as under (others remaining same)
Billing Relevance: I
Billing Plan Type: 01
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Define Item Category
4. Assign Item Category, for ex (assuming Usage & higher level item category as blank):
Sales Document Type | Item Category Group | Default Item Category
ZOR | NORM | ZTAN
ZOR | DEIN | ZTAD
ZOR | BANS | ZTAS
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Assign Item Category
Note: In the above Billing Type '01' plays the main controller for milestone billing. In Sales order, at item level, we require to maintain the billing plan.
Follow the Sales cycle as normal sales cycle for particular Scenarios
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and
construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the
completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones
are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System
confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the
basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine 100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status
01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x
01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x
01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x
01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x
01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x
Network/Activities
Milestone Estimate Actual
Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance 01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
planned billing date for the date
3. Periodic Billing:
Periodic billing & Milestone billing are the billing plans used in Std SAP for billing process.
Periodic Billing - This billing plan is used in the scenarios like...rental agreements, cycle billing, etc....
When V assign this billing plan in the sales docemnt type, billing control screen, in Tcode VOV8.
Milestone billing - Milestones are maintained as per the percentage of net value or as per the dates. While using this plan, in the sales order creation mode, in Billing plan tab for item....V have the option of maintaining % of value and billing date.
Same Billing plan for all the scenatrios can be maintained in IMG config for Billing plan. If u want to have different billing plan in the sales order, U can change the plan for Items by unchecking the billing plan field in Header details - Billing plan tab of Sales order.
This can be configured using Periodic Billing.
