Background Job for Billing

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to set up background job for billing. I want this to happen once in a week and the selection criteria should be only for that week.

Eg: If i am setting the job today, then the selvetion critera should be as follows.

Billing Date From: 12/01/2008 to 18/01/2008. Then next week it should acutomatically change the date from 19/01/2008 to 26/01/2008.

Can I do it using VF04 of VF06?

Please reply step by step.

Regards,

Hi,

In SA38, execute the program SAPMV60S. Select the variant and go to menu Program -> Execute in background. Then in SM37 you can schedule the program on when to run.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can do it in either of them. and you can define teh billing date automatically.I have atleast done in 4.6c, but now in ECC. Also forogt how to do it. However please discuss with development team, they should be able to help in defining these fields while creating the variant.

Hope this helps.

hi,

just as you did, first maintain the required criteria on the billing due llist( VF04) and save it as a variant.

Now give this variant name to a batch job which would run in the back ground on a weekly basis. Along with sap created jobs we manage them with a maestro program( a tool from IBM) which ensures that all these background jobs are running successfully or not. anyways please give more details as to whats the issue.

But here, you need to sit actually with the basis on having this scheduled properly.
