VF01 to F-22

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am getting a bit confuse here. You can create invoice in transaction VF01 and customer invoice in F-22, but what are the difference between them?

thanks Lakshmipathi , I am getting an idea now. So does that mean if the invoice was generated in SD using VF01, we don't have to use F-22 to create the customer invoice.

My question in short: will the invoice be passed automatically from SD to FI once it is created in VF01. Thanks for your help

Yes certainly. Once you create in VF01 and save the billing document, automatically one accounting document will also be generated, provided, you have not selected the box "Posting block" in VOFA for your billing type.

If this box is selected, then Accounting Document will not be generated and in the document flow you can see the status as "Blocked". To release it to accounting, again you have to go to VF02, input the billing document number and click on green flag on top so that accounting document will be generated.

Reward if this helps you and close the thread please by selecting "Answered"

Answering to your question

{"if the invoice was generated in SD using VF01, we don't have to use F-22 to create the customer invoice"}

yes, it is enough if you create in VF01 only.

For Releasing the Billing Documents to Accounting, it is better to use VFX3.

Account Document Question

[Lakshmipathi]

As explained above, in VOFA, for your billing type, there is a field "Posting block". If you have selected, you have to release the billing documents to finance manually. Else one accounting document will be generated automatically as and when you generate billing document.

hi Lakshmipathi , I have just assigned you the maximum points possible and thanks for your help.

Just a last question, if the invoice was generated in SD using VF01 and we dun have to create the customer invoice in F-22, how can we know the Account Document Number in FB03 which included the invoice. Thanks

"Just a last question, if the invoice was generated in SD using VF01 and we dun have to create the customer invoice in F-22, how can we know the Account Document Number in FB03 which included the invoice."

Using VF02/ VF03 and clicking "Accounting" tab, then double-clicking on "accounting document", you will actually reach the FB03 screen.

You can also make your account document number same as you SD invoice number, since that helps.

[Lakshmipathi]

VF01 - Once PGI is done, you have to debit customer account and credit sales by generating an invoice. To do that you have to go via VF01.

F-22 - Any adjustments to be made without cancelling the invoice, FI people will do so.

In short, SD people will use VF01 and FI people will run F-22.

thanks
