Hello All,

We have a requirement to automate the intercompany billing document to be created whenever F2 billing document is created ( without using VF04).

Any input regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Why cant u try this process using a background job.

schedule a background job in sm36 immdiately and as soon as it appears in the due list for billing type IV schedule a background job. run this for billing due list transaction code.

Hi Raj,

I dont think that there is any standard mechanism to do that.

Most probably, a workflow(without approvals) or may be a BDC will have to be used.

See the issue is you can do an intercompany billing only after the billing document is generated. So the user-exits and includes get ruled out. Now the only option left is workflow or BDC or may be(i am not sure) BADI.

I am saying workflow, becuase they are able to capture the invoice save and will get triggered and can create the intercompany invoices. But you will have to use VF04 to create this workflow.

BDC can be cretaed, but then placing the same inside vf01 would be very difficult, you will have to do some minor enhancement to change the vf01 to put in BDC.

You can also try the fact tht you can run a batch job at the EoD to generate all intercomapny invoices in one go.

Hope this helps.

After goods issue has taken place, you can process the delivery for billing. You can create the billing documents just like any other billing document on the Billing screen:

for a single billing document with the menu path Billing document ---Create.

for several billing documents with the menu path Billing document -


Billing due list.

The delivery may have to be processed for billing twice.

The delivering plant processes the delivery to create an intercompany billing document (billing document type IV) for the selling company. This company code posts invoice entry for this billing document.

The billing document is automatically billed to the internal payer that is assigned to the sales organization. The intercompany charges that appear in the intercompany billing

document represent the actual amount that the delivering plant is charging the sales organization.

If the selling company is selling the goods to a customer, it processes the delivery to create an invoice for this customer. The system can take the prices from the order or determine new prices. It takes the quantity to be invoiced from the delivery.

The billing due list for the intercompany invoice is generated after the customer invoice has been created.
