F1 & F2 Billing

[Former Member]

Hi all

Can somebody tell me all the functionality differences between F1 & F2 billing

Regards

[Former Member]

Here is the answer:

Billing type F2 takes prices, surcharges and discounts directly from the order. This is because of Pricing type G in copying control for F2.

Billing type F1 carries out completely new pricing when the order is billed. i.e. freights and shipment costs will be recaluclated. This is because of Pricing type C in copying control for F1.

F2 will be used for both order related and delivery related billing in Sales Document type OR in VOV8 Transaction.

Any other inputs/suggestions are welcome

When u physically compare F1 & F2 documents in transaction code VOFA, you do not see any major difference in functionalities. But the interviewer says there are many differences between F1 & F2 which are set in copy controls. (set in Item categories, pricing type etc etc etc). Does anyone has any ideas?

Hi,

If you are referring to the detailed screen of F2 and F1 , yes then there is not much difference. The difference exists in the funcationality as explained above by all the people. You need to put the funcationalities clearly when someone asks you. Please be clear with the functionalities..you will be able to explain.

Thanks

Dear Madhu

If you compare copy control between VTFA (sale order to billing) and VTFL, (delivery to billing), the main difference would be item categories.

In VTFA, you will find item categories such as TAD, TADC, TAM, TAO & WODD whereas, in VTFL, you can find many item categories starting from ALEN, CH00, TAB, TAC, TAE, TAN TANN etc.

So the main control is item category which decides your billing type.

Hi

Somebody might have made changes to that standard. There F1 and F2 are to be specified for Order elated and Delivery related respectively.

HI,

That means that for that order type is only delivery releated billing will happen. If you change that to F1 in VOV8 then oder related billing will happen.

This is as per client requirement u can configure for all order document types...

But if we go to order type OR at transaction code VOV8, we can see that F2 is assigned for both order related and delivery related billing....dont see F1 anywhere

[vamshikrishnajm]

Hi,

It is just a standard. If they are billing according to the delivery then the billing document the system would be considering will be F2 and if the billing is for service or third party then the order type will bill with respect to the document F1.

Hope you have understood.

Thanks

Hi Madhu,

You are right, in SAP standard the billing type F2 is assigned for both delivery related and order related.

As you know in most of the cases F2 is used in delivery related billing only. But in the case of third party, F2 is used for customer invoice with reference to the sales order and there is no delivery.

Hope it helps.

Hi

These are different Billing Types.

F1 is the Order Related Billing type. It is used normally when delivery activity is not involved. eg., Third party order processing where delivery to the customer is done by the vendor and in the case of services also which will not have any delivery activity.The reference for this billing document type is Sales order.

F2 is the Delivery related Billing Type. The reference document for this billing type is Delivery document.

Thanks,

Ravi
