Invoice without reference?

[Former Member]

Can we create (non-sales, cost only) invoices without reference to either an order or delivery doc? These are needed for intra company cost-only items

Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated

Thank you gentlemen - you have all been very helpful

Lets say we still want to do it in SD - and the invoicing process does require a

reference document - and we still don't want to use order or delivery as that reference. In that case, can we use

" Billing Request" (which is a sales document) as a 'source' document for invoice?

Can we configure a new doc type (copying from Billing Request) which can be generated with reference to a dummy purchase order number and used itself as a source document for the Invoice?

If this can be done - we can give Finance the option of using the new doc type to create the sales doc and then later on create the invoice based on the sales doc.

Since I only work in SD and do not have access to any FI person - I am trying to force fit an SD solution to solve this riddle

Yes,

You would be able to achieve your goal that way, after creating the new document type Billing request

1)You will have to create a Document pricing procedure for such a billing request(IMG>S&D>Basic func>Pricing>Pricing Control>Define & Assign Pricing Procdure>Define Doc price Proc). And assign this doc. pri. proc to your billing request.

2)Create a new pricing procedure which will have condition type of cost & any other required condition types.

3)Create a determination rule for this pricing proc. with new doc. pri. proc. as a determining field.

4)In copying control of this billing request to billing doc put the pricing type as D.

Please reply if this helps.

Dear Shakeel

I fully agree with the other consultants

• You can not create invoices in SD without any reference (must be sales order and/or delivery)

• I have created invoices throught FI module (ask the FI consultant, I do no t rememember well but could be FB01, F-02 transactions, and also remember that i have to enter many data manually like the accounts to be posted)

Notice that SD invoice , do it automatically when configured.

Please reward points if it is helpful.

Hi,

This will be purely a FI document. I think the T-code is F-02 and in the initial screen, there is field called Type (Document type). One of the options here relates to your requirement. Pls talk to your FI consultant for further inputs.

Hope, this helps!

Thanks,

In SD no, we cannot create an invoice untill it has a eference document.

I suppose there is such provision in FI.

Hi,

we create invoices with reference to some document. But to capture the cost items we need to know from where these items are coming. However we can raise credit notes without reference but however we settle them with respect to some customer for some kind of compensation. So, just cost only invoices without order or delivery reference cannot be done.

No, it is not possible.

It is possible only using the General Billing Interface an development infrastructure for acquiring invoices from external systems

reward if helpful please.
