Billing experts: Combining order related and deliv. related

[Former Member]

Hello Billing experts,

I am just wondering if it is possible at all to combine order related and delivery related to ONE billing document (one DMR and one delivery note with the same payer).

Or do we have to use Invoice List? I can't make it work.

Same payer, same Payment Terms and different pricing procedures(with RL00). What other fields that must have identical values, so the billing documents will be grouped in the invoice list?

Thanks alot in advance!

Best Regards,

Hi Tuan Vo

Since there are many other criteria, its not a viable Solution to combine, order related and delivery related to one billing document even though its possible in SAP.

The following prerequisites must be met for a Single Invoice from Delivers and/or orders:

1) the header data appearing in the billing document must agree

2) the split conditions specified do not apply

As you see, the Delivery related Invoice has always a pre-checking with the Goods Issue status where as Order related doesn't have to.

Hence Invoice lists is the option given by SAP.

However, with an intelligent Copy Control routines between the documents should do the trick.

The system combines documents with the same customer number, proposal billing type and sales organization, and attempts to include them all in the same billing document. If the preconditions are met, then a single invoice is created for the deliveries and/or orders.

Note that When creating several billing documents, user exits can be used to reset the header data, so that more can be combined than in the billing due list and later combine to single document.

There are other fields like Material Group, Billing Dates, Billing Document Type, Item categories which can force for an Invoice split.

Please let me know if it helps.
