Billing document and invoice

Hi all,
What is the difference between billing document and invoice
Thanks,
Charles.

Hi,
Both are same in SD point of view.
In SD terminology we call as Billing Document and
In FI terminology we call as INVOICE.
In MM again only INVOICE will be there for Vendors.
Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment.

  • What is the difference between billing document and invoice??

    Hello all,
    I am an ABAPer but I have less business knowledge.. What types of billing docs are there? Is table VBRK used for all of them? What makes a billing doc. an invoice? What are the tables and tcodes for invoice as compared to that for billing doc?
    Thanks,
    Hope you answer all my questions here... I will award points.
    Best regards,

    Billing document is a general term that includes - sales invoice, debit memo, credit memo and cancellation documents.
    In layman's term, invoice usually refers to the sales invoice, or what you send to your customer as your company's bill or charges.
    So, all billing documents are not invoices..But all invoices are billing documents
    Usually, 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.
    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

  • Billing document and invoice issue

    i created a sales order for a particular material, i did the biling document and the invoice but later found out that the price i used for doing it was not the actual price to be used so i need to reverse it so that i can use the actual price..how do i go about that

    If the scenario is CIN related, first you need to cancel the excise invoice in J1IH, cancel the billing document in VF11, reverse PGI in VL09, delete delivery in VL02N.  Next maintain the required pricing in VK11.  Now create a new delivery and do billing.
    thanks

  • Diffrence between the billing document and Invoice list

    Dear all,
    I have that we create the billing document from vf01 but there is invoice list also which we can create from vf21,so i wanted to know that whats the diffrence btw the these both?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.
    This component includes the following functions:
    Creation of:
    Invoices based on deliveries or services
    Issue credit and debit memos
    Pro forma invoices
    Cancel billing transactions
    Comprehensive pricing functions
    Issue rebates
    Transfer billing data to Financial Accounting (FI)
    The invoice list lets you create, at specified time intervals or on specific dates, a list of billing documents (invoices, credit and debit memos) to send to a particular payer.
    The billing documents in the invoice list can be single or collective documents (collective invoices combine items from more than one delivery).
    The standard version of the SAP R/3 System includes two types of invoice lists:
    for invoices and debit memos
    for credit memos
    If you wish, you can process invoices, debit memos, and credit memos at the same time. The system automatically creates a separate invoice list for credit memos.
    A payer may be the head office of a buying group, which pays all the invoices for goods that are shipped to individual members. The group payer takes responsibility for paying the invoice lists and then collecting payment from the individual members. In return for these services, the group payer usually earns a factoring or del credere discount.
    Depending on the tax structure of the payer's country, the payer may be liable to pay taxes on factoring discounts that he earns. In Germany, for example, factoring discounts are taxed at the standard rate of 15%. During invoice list processing, you can reimburse the payer in advance for this tax liability by creating special condition records.

  • Billing Document and Material Document number and Date (Goods Issue)

    Dear Experts,
    Is there a way I can find the relationship between a billing document and a material document number and Goods issue date?
    Thanks

    Hi Abid
    Is there a way I can find the relationship between a billing document and a material document number and Goods issue date?
    You have to follow the flow from the billing document to the material document. This will only work if the billing document comes from a delivery note.
    Billing document => Delivery
    LIPS-VBELN = VBRP-VGBEL
    and LIPS-POSNR-VBRP-VGPOS
    So you have LIPS + LIKP with the LIKP-WADAT_IST as the goods issue date.
    Delivery => Material Document Number
    You can use the table VBFA with the delivery item as the preceding document number (VBFA-VBELV) and item (VBFA-POSNV) ; you will also have to define the preceding document type as J (delivery) and the document category of subsequent document as R (material document).
    Because in SAP nothing is simple, there might more than one material document, because the goods issue (601) movement might have been canceled and issue again. So you will have to decide what to do in that case.

  • Billing Document and Material Document Relation

    Dear all,
    i need to know about the relation between Billing document and Material document.
    Please let me know if there is any Function Module or Some View available to get these details.
    my only requirement is to get only Material document From Billing Document.
    Thanks In Advance.
    Pradeep.

    Hi
    So the material document should be linked to the delivery
    The document flow:
    Delivery->Outgoing moviment->Delivery->Bill->FI invoinces
    If you start from FI:
    - Get the bill number from header data: BKPF-AWKEY
    - get the delivery number from bill item VBRP-VGBEL
    - get the document flow for the delivery: VBFA: here you can find out the material document

  • Link Between billing document and Accounting document

    Hi,
    Need the link between VBRK and BKPF.
    Req to VBRK-VBELN = BKPF-XBLNR.
    But length varies. Error occurs. Any other method to come for linking Billing document and accounting doc

    hi Meenakshi,
    Check with this i hope it will work
    you can have the data from BKPF through fields like AWKEY and AWTYP and VBRK (vbeln).
    in bkpf there is a field called AWTYP  in which you have to specify 'VBRK',and you have split AWKEY depending o upon the vbeln .
    bkpf-awtyp = 'VBRK'
    bkpf-awkey = vbrk-vbeln
    bkpf-bukrs = vbrk-bukrs.

  • Billing Document and nota fiscal type

    In ABAP program I need to create a Billing Document (VF01). During the creation I need to change the Nota Fiscal Type (J_1BNFDOC-NFTYPE) to include a number of nota fiscal (J_1BNFDOC-NFNUM). This number will be generated by another system. The NF will not print. How can I do that?
    I created a nota fiscal type that allows the edition number of NF. It's Ok.
    Is there a BAPI which manages the billing document and sign this change in the nota fiscal type?
    How can I change the number of nota fiscal? Via call transaction in J1B2N?
    Ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did u got the solution to change the NF type value? If yes then please let me know how did u approached it . As i too want to change the NF type while creating the PGI through VL02n T-Code.

    Dear All,
    As per the standard it is not possible. But some times client says why two different numbers ranges we require same numbers ranges for both billing doc. & Excise invoice.
    Please go through the following link

    Also check with the Abaper with explicit enhancement by maintaining the number range values in Custom table where we go when ever there is no option for(if client is not convincing) but which is not reccomandable but left out with no choice when client is demanding.

  • Change Item Quantity in the Billing Document ( Proforma Invoice )

    Hi,
    There is a requirement from the client to change the quantity at item level in the billing document ( Order based Proforma Invoice ) after it is saved.
    As SAP does not allow to change in the VF02 transaction, Please let me how to change quantity at the item level of the billing document.
    Please let us know if we need to use any user exit or any other system modification.
    Regards
    V R Reddy

    Hi Venkat Rama Reddy
    First of all Welcome to SDN forum
    Now coming to your query , your requirement cannot be fulfilled  as standard SAP doesn't .Because ,First of all at billing level you cant change the item quantity , then in VF02 it is not possible.But if your clients requirement is to change the item quantity in VF02 , then first of all do VF11->VL09->VL02N and here you can change the picking quantity and then do the billing ,as once if you change the picking quantity then at billing item  level also the item quantity will change
    Check with the following user-exit  USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE. Here with the help of the Technical consultant include the requirement that after saving the billing document we can change the item quantity
    But it is not suggestible to change the item quantity at billing level . As once you save the billing document , an accounting document will be getting created.

  • Exchange Rate in Billing Document and FI document differ

    Hi,
    We're facing an issue with the exchange rates b/w 2 currencies in the FI document. While the billing document shows one exchange rate for the item (based on pricing date of invoice) , the FI document shows a different exchange rate(latest date in 0B08).
    As a result the local currencies in the two documents differ.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please chcek the EXCHANGE RATE TYPE in the COPY CONTROL from Delivery to Billing in the transaction code VTFL at item level
    Change the EXCHANGE RATE type to DETERMINE THE EXCHANGE RATE BASED ON CURRENT DATE, then it will determine the EXCHANGE RATE in the Billing document based on the OB08 settings.
    After making these changes the accounting document and the Billing will show the same value.
    Please revert back if you need further details.

  • How to sum up billing documents and provide scale based discounts

    Dear Gurus,
    Here is the client's requirement:
    Actually the client requires that after two weeks some of the customers are given discount based on the total quantity or value been sale.
    Invoice list seems a great option but issue is that its sums up the factor discount from all the billing documents.Although,the client requires that after the toal quntity or value been taken from the billing docuements a scale is applied at the level of invoice list.For example
    billing 1  value 10,000 discount 3 %   = 300
    billing  2 value  1,000  discount 3%    =30
    system response:
    invoice list  value 1100 discount =330
    client requirement
    invoice list value 1100
    scale  :  if value <= 500  discount 3%
                 if value >500 && value<2000  discount 4%
    required value : invoice value 1100 discount 400
    Kindly help , if there some better option availble in invoice lists or any other solution you may come up or suggest.
    Regards,
    Sam Ahmed

    Hello,
    you can create a discount condition type and add access sequence to it. If your client does not have access sequence as per your requirement create one with copying a standard access sequence for discounts.
    you can create a separate table to fulfill changes so that access could be made.

  • Billing Document and release to Accounting

    Hi,
    Please, does anyone could explain me why the process of billing and release to accounting can be executed in different steps ?
    I need explain it to my key-user.
    Best Regards.
    Kleyson Rios.

    HI
    It depends on the business process
    1.Before releasing to accounts if you want to check the value of the invoice and tax implication  any changes required you are able to do before releasing  once that is done then  you can release to accounts.
    2. Once the billing document has generated accounting document then you will not able to change  any thing in the billing document
    Iin configuration you can set the   posting block for billing  document by going to t code VOFA .
