Defference b/w Bill and Invoice?

What is the difference b/w Bill and Invoice?

Billing is sap internal reference number which is maintained in VF01 and tables
VBRK VBRP gets updated .
Billing in terms means that i have a reference with so and so details that this is the amount charged to the customer for the purchase .
But when i produce this document in paper-work then it is called INVOICE
which is handed over to the customer and the paper work is a legal document that holds details of price and etc...
This is the difference between Billing and invoice.
There will be terms called as INVOICE , First commercial invoice and second commercial invoice but never they can be called as First Billing and second Billing etc.
I hope u got the point.
reward points

Difference between billing and invoice?

Hi all
can anybody say Difference between billing and invoice?
thanks

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,

Material number with Incomplete setup was billed and Invoiced

Hi All,
Though the material has incomplete set up status the material was allowed for billing and invoicing.
I have checked the materials Sales Org. view and found the DChain-spec.status was changed from *99 to 01(*01 stands for Discontd w/o Replace & 99 is Block all Logist ).
Awaiting for your valuable feedback asap.
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
M Ravi

what feedback do you want? you saw already that the status was changed.
The change history for material master will tell you who changed the status.
The material master is not incomplete if it was possible to create order, delivery, goods issue and billing.
If you are the opinion that the 01 status shall restrict something, then let me tell you, that statuses are subject to customizing. In detail of the status to tell SAP how it shall react under certain circumstances, e.g. warning or error.

Billing and invoicing

hi give me full documents of billing and invoicing

Billing and Invoicing
Process
Billing describes the process to determine expected payments at the right point in time and create due items.
In case invoicing is agreed with the customer, additional invoice information has to be determined and the whole invoice (raw data) information has to be provided to an Output Management System (OMS).
Invoicing refers to the provision of information about expected payment amounts to customer by sending him (paper) invoices, provide invoice online or by other media.
Expected payments to be made by a customer are determined at the right point in time by billing.
If invoicing feature is chosen/activated, additional invoice information has to be determined and the whole invoice (raw data) information has to be provided to an Output Management System (OMS)
The OMS is responsible for layout of invoice including marketing messages, and combined invoicing.
An invoice usually includes: name and address of the receiver, creation date, expected payment date, due items, sum of due items, account (bank) information and/or remittance address, further data like dunning information, payment history, beginning/ending balance of period.

Parent-Child Billing and Invoice Presentment

Hello gurus,
Have a question around parent-child billing where the business scenario is that a global HQ represents the single bill-to for multiple ship-to locations across the world. The idea is that the Global HQ receives a single invoice for multiple children and ideally a summary page detail as well as the specific invoice for that child.
In terms of splitting the billing documents I suppose there are 2 routes:
1) Standard splitting of billing documents (controlled via Copy Control) so that each distinct Ship-To generates its own billing document. Then the billing documents would need to be grouped together somehow for sending to the single Bill-To - not sure how that grouping could occur after the Billing Documents are generated?
2) Break the splitting of billing documents by Ship-To so that a single billing document is created for all ship-to's for a single bill-to.
Any help on this or whether one of these is the correct approach? The issue is complicated further by the fact that we would like to product a summary page for the global bill-to stating the summary values of all sold-to by country. We have considered using a heavily customised print program tool to add up the ship-to figures for display on an invoice but not sure if SAP can create this 'grouped summary calculation' itself?
Apologies for the long windedness - any help much appreciated!

In copy Control maintain Requirement as 003 and check if the desired outcome is achieved.

Create   Sales order ,Delivery, Billing and Invoice no. in back date.

Hello Gurus,
Goodevening ,

Note- System should   do the availability check on back date. ( 1.e on requested delivery date) and confirm quantity on that date.
Note-What ever sales transaction happned yesterday day will be enterded today on yesterday date( this daily happens to this industry).
My problem is system is not doing availability check on requested delivery date its just doing on todays date and giving confirmation but in system stock was there on yesterday date.
Note - Always there is one day back log for actual sales and system entry.
Looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Thanks for you reply,
This a typical kind of industry.-Poultry industry
They do the transactions in the night times at farms where they will not have any access for systems.so they want to post those transactions on back date.
Note- i do have idea, system does do availability check on current date,but is there any possiblity for back postings with availablity check that I am looking for all the possible options with all the possible feed backs.
Note- Customer is selling the semi -finished product that i have already mentioned, whether i maintain   OR not maintain system is doing avaliblity check in SD , as the meaterial is   semi -finished maintained by PP in MRP3.
Thanks in advance

Difference between BillingDocument and invoice

Hi Experts,
can u tell me what is difference between billing document and invoice.

Hi
Invoices are always primary documents.
Other billing documents, such as debit or credit memos, can be primary or secondary
documents. This depends on the order reason entered in the billing document.
For more information on how the order reason is used to control primary and secondary
documents, see Order Reason in Retroactive Billing [Page 8]. This section will also provide a
more detailed example of how retroactive billing works.
Primary Documents
Primary documents are:
Invoices
Credit memos that refer to returns
Credit and debit memos in which you have entered the relevant order reason
You can also assign an order reason to a memo request which then passes it along to
the referenced credit or debit memo.
Secondary Documents
Secondary documents are the following billing documents in which you have entered the relevant
order reason:
Credit and debit memo requests
Credit and debit memos
The system displays such a document only when it has been created with reference to the
invoice and when the currencies in both documents match.
The billing document can be an invoice, per-forma invoice,
cash sales invoive, credit memo and a debit memo. Where as
an invoice is a type of billing doc used to bill the
customer for services or goods delivered

Validation required so that invoice, billing and accounting is done on same

Validation required so that invoice, billing and accounting is done on same date as the PGI date. Very urgent please help.
Please look into the below scenario.
Excise invoice posting date u2013 07.10.2011
A/c doc posting date u2013 29.09.2011
Reflecting in dispatch report of 07.10.2011.
GL affecting in the month of Sep.
So it want that on PGI date, billing , invoice and accounting enteries are created

Dear Jalaj001,
PGI date will be taken by system as the billing date in VF01 unless the user manually changes it.
Accounting Posting date can be controlled by settings for document type RV.
For excise invoice creation and posting date, i think you will have to use EXITs.
But i am not sure and will leave it for the experts to comment upon.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal K Charles

Create Delivery, Billing and Excise Invoice no. in back date.

Dear all,
i got sum problem with no. range in export excise invoicing,
therefore to avoid this i created export invoice thru' legacy system, now i want to create the same export order in sap system
how i create export order in back date as actual excise date lies in back date.
what certain changes i have to made in sap system in order to create Delivery, Billing and Excise Invoice no. in back date.
Plz suggest
Gaurav

Back date means how many months should be predated ?? You should be aware, you can post a document in SAP one month prior to current month but not before that. For example, now we are in August and you can post a document for July and not for June'10.
Apart from this, you need to have back dated stock in SAP to invoice and the periods (MM & FI) should be open for previous month.
Dear Sir,
Back dates means 14 days back and in the same month August.
plz , explain what is back dated stock to invoice SAP
