Dear David

Let us assume you are posting the goods issue on 1st August and creating an invoice on 4th August.

In normal circumstances, your invoice date would be the date of PGI (which will be taken from the field [Actual GI Date] - Field Name WADAT_IST) unless you input a different date in VF01. "Created on" date would be 4th August.

thanks

Hi David,

Created On = The Date on which you had created the billing Document

Billing Date = Is the Date on which the billing is processed and booked for accounting purposes, i.e. Release to accounting.

Generally moment you save the Billing Document its automatically release to accounting, but if you want to release it manually then please go to the respective Billing Document Type (for eg - F2) Transaction Code - VOFA and select Posting Block and save it. So now if you save invoice only Billing Document will get created but not get release to accounting and to release to accounting you have to click manually Release to accounting.

Hope your query has been answered.

Cheers !!!
