Collective billing with different Billing Date

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I understand that one of the criterias for collective billing is the Billing Date.... but, is it possible to override this?

Is it possible to use collective billing in VA04 and create one billing document (invoice) although the billing dates are different?

Thanks!

Hi Nuke,

Just think of some scenarios which may affect your business when actually you want to do this. Billing dates are major criteria for payment dues, dunning process, and various FI transactions. Now if you have several invoice which are having different billing dates then in the collective billing this may lead to lots of incosistencies.

As per my thinking i would not suggest you to do any modifications in VF04 for this purpose.

Hi Raja,

Actually, this will be done only to one customer who has special requirements. The case is that per day for a year, they have assigned SMI number (own numbering by customer). Thus, once several SOs are created with several items whose some items are to be delivered on a particular date. Those items that were delivered on that date should be billed in one invoice only.

Reading at the bold sentence i am assuming that, you want to create a single invoice for all the sales order which were delivered on the same day...... so where is the question of different date?

Secondly if your requirement is like below......

Sales order number say 100001 has 20 line item

10 delivered on 1st july

5 delivered on 2nd of july

5 delivered on 3rd of july

and you want to make collective billing,

See, billing date is copied from delivery document, The Actual PGI date will be billing date.

Again i wont recommend you to do some kind of modifications to do this. see what happen when the prices are changed on 3rd of july? So your pricing will also be different. I mean complications will be there.

Thanks,
