Hi ,

For collective billing Use TCode VF04 (This will give u list of billing documents to be processed)

For collective processing of deliveries to create Billing doc Use T Code Use TCode VL10B.

Various billing doc are Normal Invoice , Credit Memo , Debit Memo.

Forward scheduling and Backward scgheduling comes into picture during ATP check.

In Backward Scheduling system First Take into considering the Requested Delivery date and start deducting the Time required for ( Transit, picking , packing ,GI, Transportation Planning etc) if after deducting the time required for all the activities results come negative i.e suppose ur delivery date is 30/10/2007 and u require 10 days for all the activities to be done that means u will not be able to meet the required delivery date . If such is the case system do the forward scheduling and start calculating time required for all the above mentioned activity after material availability date and propose a confirm date (ATP Date ) .

First system always go for Backward scheduling and if not able to meet the delivery date go for Forward scheduling

Hope this help

Hi,

VF04

in this the system attemps to combine all the compatible transactions into a single billing document.

But the header data should be identical.

Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.

Delivery scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing

Hi

1. Collective invoice

Go to VF04

Give your selection crieteria.. Ex Sales org, Month....

Execute

select the Documents

Edit-Billing form-- collective Billing Document

2. Various Billing Documnts : invoice, credit memo, debit memo, Intercompany Invoice , Proforma invoive.. Etc Check VOFA

3. Backward/forward Scheduling..

During Sales oredr entry, system schedules the Material staging date from the req delivery date (Req delivery date-transit time-loading time- picking and packing time) This is called as Backward scheduling.. then system checks the availabilty check...

If it does not find the material on this date.. it goes with forward scheduling.. first it finds the material availabilty date and then adding the picking, packing, loading and transit time with this and Gives a delivery date..

hi

Go to VL10 and you can combine all the 5 deliveries if at all shipping points and incoterms are same.For a single invoice go to VF04 and you will get all the deliveries due for delivery and select collective invoice.Invoice will split if Payment terms and different payers.Reward if useful.
