Hi Ipsit,

Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment

Tables are VBRK & VBRP. For flow, go to transaction VF03, enter document number and hit 'Display Document Flow' button on toolbar

VBRK and VBRP holds billing/invoice details..

Billing Document:

Generic term for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, pro forma invoices and cancellation documents.

The tables are VBRK and VBRP.

2) -- once u do PGI the delivery document will be created. There is no way to stop it.. The thing u can to do go to the list of created deliveries in VL09. Select the delivery doc which u created. There u have the option of reversing the goods or canceling it.

Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.

After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.

Please Reward If Really Helpful,

Thanks and Regards,

Practically, it is synonym term without any difference in the meaning of both.

Hi,

Billing( VF01) is nothing but a transaction to create the invoice

There are many billing document types which you can see in VOFA.

There is no such difference between billing document and Invoice. Invoice (F2) is a type of billing document. There are many billing documents like

F1 - Order related Invoice

F2 - Delivery related Invoice

F5 - Proforma Invoice for sales order

F8 - Proforma invoice for deliveries

G2 - Credit memo

L2 - Debit memo

etc.
