Hi,

Best example is proctor&Gamble they delivery regularly but they billing once in a week.

Most of the FMCG company's they do it.

Hi,

You can include muiltple deliveries into single through T.code:VF04. Execute based on common selection creatia for the required Customer ,

Billing Date From - To

(ii) Billing type

(iii) Sold -to party

(iv) Sale organisation

(v) Distribution

You can see list of billing due list, in which you can selected required deliveries. Click collective billing.

Note: Ensure that in Copy control for (VTFL) delivery to billing for check for item category

combination,in feild VBRK/VBRP you have maintained 001 only then it will work, else their will be billing split based on no. of. deliveries.

Hope it will workout.

Dear Yuvraj,

One scenerio, i worked-upon:

My Client has implemented "Revenue Recognition" to accrue monthly income, based upon deliveries done in that particular period (i.e. month).

Now, take an example, where project duration is, say 2-months and customer wants consolidated billing after project completion (i.e. after 2 months).

Now, project has started, say on 16.10.2008 and will get completed on 15.12.2008; that means, billing should be done on either 15.12.2008 or a later date.

But, on 31.10.2008, my client has to run revenue recognition for all the on-going projects (including this project) to accrue the income for that particular month.

So, my client does delivery for 15 days (16.10.2008 - 31.10.2008), though no billing is created.

Another Delivery will be done on 30.10.2008 and final delivery on 15.12.2008.

so, at the end of the project, there would have been 3-deliveries in to the SAP-System; but since there must be only one Billing-Document; so my client will combine all there Deliveries in to single Billing and create consolidated Billing doc. for 3-deliveries.

Hope, I am able to explain, in depth.

Hi Amit

I find your submission very helpful - please advise if i can use it to implement the below request for my client.

Please could you guide me on how to implement the 'revenue recognition' functionality in SAP.

The scenario is a little bit different in this case - my client have a situation where they create one sales order --> multiple deliveries (which could be PGI'd into multiple posting periods eg Jan & Feb) --> but the customer needs only one billing document (eg posted in Feb).

The problem here is that Cost of Goods Sold is posted into Jan & Feb and the entire revenue is posted into Feb which violates the matching concept in financial accounting.

My question is - can revenue recognition be used to correct this financial accounting issue?

Thanks, Felix

Hi

Payer

Payment terms

Billing date or billing due date

Destination country

Billing doc type

Incoterms

Actual GI date

If these are same in all delivery documents they can be combined into single billing

As a standard rule the system tries to combine multiple deliveries in to single billing doc provided these combination creteria are same

This is controlled in copy controls in VTFL choose del type and billing type and your item category

In that VBRK/VBRP if you choose 001 combined billing will happen

In what scenario means if the business process demand this and client demand this we need to do this

I mean did you any time encounter any othe scenario where in client wants on different criteria to combine deliveries into one billing.

[Former Member]

Suppose you bill to your customer weekly say for any FMCG item. Then you can combine deliverues in one bill.

Hi Raja,

Can you please tell me how to included two delivery documents in one single invoice ? i tired using the selection list but cudnt succeed.

Thanks

Dear Yuvraj

Go to VF01, give the delivery number and do not press Enter. Instead click on "Selection list" on the next screen, select the items you want to bill and click copy and continue if necessary

For that, you should have maintained "K" for the field "Billing Relevance" in VOV7

thanks

G. Lakshmipathi

ps:- please close your earlier threads wherever possible

Dear Yuvaraj

For this qn the reply was sent in the first post

With all the factors being the smae you can combine

Refer to my first post

If getting split pls go to split analysis and see why?

If you want to only invoice the partial quantities then the idea suggested by Mr Lakshmipathi is correct

Means sales order is 100, delivery and pgi is for 100 and you want to bill only 50 thn the idea suggested by Mr Lakshmipathi is correct
