Background job for invoice

Question

Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, if not please advise which forum to post to.
We are dividing our background invoicing up in three steps in three different jobs.
1) Create only R/3 invoice (done in several jobs run in parallell) using program RV60SBAT
2) When job1 is finished we send Idocs (done in one job) using program RSNAST00
3) When job 2 is finished we post the invoices to accounting (done in one job) using program RVFAKSPE
How can we automate this, we need after step 1 is done (several jobs in parallell) automatically start step 2 (send idocs) then when step2 is finished start step 3 (posting)
Also, we would like to have this invoicing to be done every 16th of the month and last workday in each month. What is the best way to acheive this?
Kind regards

Hi
As this query is related to invoice , so you have posted in correct forum only.
Now coming to your query , As you are doing step 1 , step 2 & step 3 for different one so just maintain the schedule Job on &off timings for step 1 . Maintain on time for step 2  just after the step 1 off time . In the same way maintain step 3 on time just after the step 2 Off time
If you want to have invoicing to be done 16th of every month and last working day in each month then maintain a Factory calendar that invoicing date and working date is 16th and last month end and assign that factory calendar in XD02->sales tab->billing tab->Invoice list calendar (just above factory calendar feild), Maintain & Assign that factory calendar in that feild then you can achieve your requirement
