Create Billing document automatically from the outbound delivery

Question

Hi experts,
I'm not sure my client's requirement can be implemented but i'm posting this thread just in case someone have a suitable solution.
My client wloud like that billing documents (VF01) are created automatically when the outbound document (VL01N) is saved. He doesn't wont to perform an additional action, so the the custom transaction solution doesn't satisfy his requirement
Is there any solution to do this? (User Exit or Customizing)
Thanks

Hi,
One idea. You can do it with the userexit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT in report MV50AFZ1. Here, you have the number of delivery. I suggest you to call a BAPI with a job created with the sequence of functions JOB_OPEN', 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
, 'RS_CREATE_VARIANT', 'JOB_SUBMIT'. 'JOB_CLOSE' with a gap of time (eg: 2 or 3 minutes). You can call a function IN UPDATE TASK in this function. (read Note 415716 - User exits in delivery processing), and in the coding of this function you can create the job and call a report with the BAPI (for instance, BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE). After, you can control the creation of invoices with tcode SM37.
I hope this helps you

PD: I forgot it. Control in which event you call the BAPI via job. I suggest you when you create the movement 601. You can do it with this coding:
    IF xvbuk-wbstk NE yvbuk-wbstk
    AND xvbuk-wbstk = 'C'.
       "code
    ENDIF.
