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 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,
Charles.

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

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.

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.

Whats the diffrence between the 2G shuffle and 3G shuffle

Hi
I am thinking of getting a shuffle ,I wanted to know the difference ,I know there are different colors available with the 3G shuffle and I also found out that the 3G is not of metal from one of the forums ,is it true did any one tried both of these ?Is there any difference with the battery life and sound quality ...Thanks

The 3rd Gen shuffle is basically the same as the 2nd Gen with the exception of the colors. It's aluminum, has the same battery life, and uses the chip-set, thus offering the same sound quality:

2)what is the use of the field Payment guar proced field.what actully is its purpose.
3)Subsequent invoice processing:- It indicates if the invoices for manual
post processing should be printed out.If the business wants to post invoices manually(not
by system automatically) that invoice can be printed out.
In the above sentence what does manual posting means and what is automatic posting means?
And tell me is there will be any need for this field in the real time , if so , then in which case?
Thank you for all the replies..

Dear SD Beginner,
These fields will be used to assign the calendars that determines the schedule of billing dates and invoice list for the customer.
Invoice dates (calendar identification)
Identifies the calendar that determines the schedule of billing dates for the customer.
Use
If, for example, a customer wants to consolidate the invoices you send out, you can predefine the billing schedule in a calendar in the system. During billing, the system automatically proposes the appropriate billing date from the calendar.
Procedure
The system proposes the billing schedule from the customer master record of the payer. You can change the value manually in the sales document.
Invoice list Dates (calendar identification)
Identifies the customer's factory calendar that is used during the processing of invoice lists.
Use
An invoice list is a list of invoices (single or collective) that you create for the customer either periodically or on predefined dates. The periods and dates are defined in the customer's factory calendar. Typically, the recipient of an invoice list takes on the responsibility for collecting payments from numerous individual customers and receives a factoring or del credere discount for the service.
Procedure
If you want to create invoice lists for the customer, you must enter an identifier for a predefined factory calendar.
Requirements
You must first define a factory calendar for the customer either in Customizing for Sales or as part of the master data for Sales (Menu path: Logistics -> Sales & distribution -> Master data -> Others -> Billing schedules).
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

To make the Billing document header updated with the new VAT number.

Hi Experts
Due the business requirement we change the VAT number of customers for the European countries.
And now how can we ensure that the Billing document header gets updated with the new VAT Reg.Number for the existing Billing documents.
The intention is to ensure that when we Print an already existing invoice,the new changed VAT number should appear in the invoice output.
Please suggest.
Montee

Hi,
   Have these documents been released to accounting? If yes then you have top canecl all the documents to update the billing documents and repost them with the new vat number. I think you might know how VAT gets determined in SAP. If not please go to SPRO-IMG-SD-BF-TAXES-MAINTAIN SALES TAX IDENTIFICATION UMBER DETERMINATION.
1. If the payer has a VAT ID number and RG <> AG, then the tax number
      and tax classification are copied from the payer (in this case, the
      ship-to party is not relevant).
      The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of
      destination'.
2. If 1. does not apply:
      If the ship-to party has a VAT registration number and the sold-to
      party does not, tax number and tax classification are copied from
      the ship-to party.
3. If 2. does not apply:
      Tax number and tax classification are copied from the sold-to party.
If you enter A, tax number and tax classification are generally copied
from the sold-to party.
The tax number is copied according to the 'country of destination
relevant for taxes'.
If you enter B, tax number and tax classification are generally copied
from the payer.
The tax number is copied according to the 'country of destination
relevant for taxes'.
Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

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.
Best Regards,
Franck

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,
