COMBINE INVOICE

[Former Member]

Dear all,

please advcie me on the following

I have some quick questions concerning SAP invoices.

A) Is it possible to take 3 separate SAP invoices and combine them into 1 printed invoice for the client?

B) Would this be possible with 3 different sales organizations?

C) Would the combined invoice...show all the details, or would it just be 1 line item with the final price?

i saw this with invocie list but we it is possible for one sale sorg only.

please give me some idea on this how to achieve this requirement?

TIA

Hi,

You can do this using invoice list as you said for the invoices which created from one sales organisation only... its not possible to combine the invoices created in different sales orgs... still we can do that by doing some customizing in copy control routines from invoice to invoice list... but this is not advisable.... this all becoz sales orgs are different entity in sales and distribution... it will create a errors during reporting... so better go with the seperate invoice list for every sales org...

Hi Kogi,

For the first question, it is possible to combine multiple invoices into one invoice list and have an output for the same. This can happen for only one sales org, one payer etc.

For multiple sales org, payer etc...this function is not possible, and it is not advisable to do so.

Mr Kogi,

John gave you the entire background for your issue.

Specific to your question, its not suggestable to combine invoices of different sales organizations.

If you need to combine them you need to clear the Sales organization data in the Copy routines,

I just can't imagine an invoice with out Sales org data.

But still it depends on your clients requirement.

Aj.

Hello ,

It is the copy routine in copy control that determines if one invoice

is created or multiple invoices. Of course there are standard fields

that cause a split and these are most of the billing header fields,

please see SAP Note # 11162 . In order to have a single invoice

for every reference document you would use copy routine 003. In order

to combine invoice with the same header data then you would use

routine 001. If you are still getting seperate documents using this

routine then you will need to do a split analysis when you are

creating the invoices - you will need to be billing with transaction

VF01 to view this.

Control Routine "Data VBRK/VBRP" field in VTFA and VTFL item level:

You can use variours routines and even define your own for specific requirement.

Kindly award points if helpful.
