One collective invoice for number of deliveries.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have 2 orders, 2 deliveries, where I wanted to create one collective invoice for both deliveries.

we thought this should have been possible with collective billing, but seems that did not work, as it generated two individual billing doc’s.

We don’t want to use invoice list (making one master invoice out of many single invoices).

Is there any option to create one collective invoice for both deliveries?

Points will surely be rewarded.

hello, friend.

this should be possible as long as certain header data (order and delivery) should be the same. you can combine deliveries into a single invoice if:

1. bill-to is the same

2. billing date is the same

3. payment terms are the same

4. copy controls in VTFL support collective processing

5. PO data is the same

etc.

Take a look at your header copy control Delivery to Billing Doc.

If you have entries in the Allocation and Reference numbers (perhaps B for sales order or C for delivery) then these could cause an invoice split. Try leaving these two blank.

Hi,

In transaction VF04

Enter sale document numbers & billing type

Execute this transaction

check the split analysis to see why it is splitting. then check SAP Note 11162 for a resolution of the issue

hai mrunal,

In order to create a single invoice, system is going to check certain parameters that have to match.

bill to party, terms of payment, incoterms.

then only system will allow to create a single invoice.

you will find the details in the processing log after doing collective billing.

Hi All,

For both 2 delivery and respective sales documents the header data is same.

i.e. Payer, billing dt.,incoterms,payment terms sales and del. doc types.

How can a invoice be generated collectively for 2 delivery doc thr. VF04? or is there any other t.code sp. to this functionality?

Pls. guide.

Dear Mrunal

If all the header datas are same as you said in both the sale orders, then you should get one invoice against two deliveries which can be achieved via VF01. However, if you are not able to achieve this, please let me know the outcome of split analysis, so that suitable suggestion can be given.

thanks

The basic funda behind the split of delivery in two Billing or two deliveries into two billing is the way date is storing in VBRK & VBRP Table.

VBRK is Billing Header & VBRP Is Billing Item. And when we create Billing only one row will generate in VBRK table.

So from this u can understand that the header data should be same then only one Billing document generate.
