INVOIC :Invoice / Billing document

EXPINV : Export invoice

What is the fifference between these two message types.

I need to trigger Idoc once the INvoice verification is done using MIRO t-code. I mean I need to send Actual cost of the material to 3rd party application using XI after Invoice is verified. Iam just wondering which Idoc I need to trigger? Please help..

Hi Ram,

Message type <b>INVOIC</b> is used to transmit the invoice to the customer for the shipped goods.

Message type <b>EXPINV</b> is used to transfer foreign trade information from R/3 to an external system.

For more information, please check this link.

For your case, you can use message type INVOIC to send actual cost of the material to 3rd party system.

Hope this will help.

Ferry, Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to use INVOIC02. When I try to filter group , Its displaying only Customer field. I may need to trigger Idoc specific to some plants. How can I do that ?
