Revenue posting and invoice due date

[former_member328731]

Dear colleagues,

My company is selling services and the sales process is set up with sales order and after that invoice. So billing is order related. Date when service is provided and date of invoice issuing are usually two different dates. Usually service is done and after several days invoice is issued.

Requirement is that revenue and tax postings need to be recorded on date when service is provided (service rendered date), but due date is calculated based on terms of payment from invoice issuing date.

As I know in SD billing for posting date and for due date calculation is used billing date. Exception is usage of Fixed value date (VALDT) in calculation of due date. But VALDT needs to be entered in time of SO creation which is for us too early and it is not possible to enter/change VALDT in billing document.

Also Service rendered date (FBUDA) does not have any influence on posting or due date calculation.

Is it anyhow possible to divide this two dates, so to get posting on date when service is provided and due date calculation based on invoice issuing date?

Thank you,

Harry

In addition, I want to avoid usage of revenue recognition functionality (cannot use revenue recognition).

For order related billing, system would consider Billing date as the Service Rendered Date.  Having said this, system would propose due date and Service Rendered Date based on your billing date.   Also, since there won't be any frequent changes as for as tax is concerned, though the date of service provided would be different, I don't think this will bother you.

Thank you G. Lakshmipathi,

System will consider Service Rendered Date as Billing date, it is correct, but it does not solve issue. Billing date is posting date, even it is not automatically proposed I could wrote it manually at the moment of invoice creation (t-code VF01). All this does not solve issue which we have with Invoice issuing date. As I said invoice is issued several days after date when service is provided and due date needs to be calculated based on invoice issuing date. I am not sure how to solve this, because, as you said due date is calculated based on Billing date.

Kind regards,

Harry

Hi Harry

In the standard system when the billing document is released to accounting,

the baseline date (ZFBDT) is set according to the fixed value date (VBRK-VALDT).

So if you are unable to find the value you need in the VBRK-VALDT in your business
process you will be able to make sure the date passed to FI in the S|D/FI interface
is correct according to your internal requirements.

If you would like to influence this date during the release to accounting (XACCIT-ZFBDT ,
you could use the user-exit mentioned SAP Note 112385 to do so. 
(Userexit_fill_xkomk1 - Include RV60BFZA).

Hope this helps you further
Kind regards
