[Former Member]

I need Help on How to Make Automatic Billing while Posting Goods Issue, The Process Flow as Below:

VA01 Make Sales Order ( Normal Sales Order "OR" )

VL01N ( Picking and Post Goods Issue )

VF01 ( Make Billing )

My customer needs when he Posts Goods Issue in VL01N , automatically the Billing document to be Posted and The Invoice Printed, without Going to VF01 to make the Billing.

We are using SAP ECC 6.0

Please Note: i need it on how to do it in customization and with out using the Report (RV60SBT1) which makes collective billing in the background using a job

Thanks for Your Help

Hi there,

This is possible in 2 ways:

1) Define a background job which will process the delivery pick pack & PGI. After PGI, the same job will have a step to create the billing SAPMV50A. If you maintain the O/p determination for billing, it will automatically trigger the invoice O/p type.

2) In the delivery control prog SAPMV50A, put a logic such that the system calls the SAPMV60A prog automatically after delivery is PGI'ed.

Check with your ABAPer which is feasible. I would prefer 1st method as even the delivery to PGI to invoice is automatic. No manual intervention is required. The job will run at regular time that you set up in SM36. 1st step will look for all open orders to process delivery pick pack & PGI. The next step will look for all open deliveries to process invoices.

Dear Omar,

One way is to use background jobs which will create billing documents in the background (VF06).

Another way is write a BDC program.

Refer to following links, in which the same has been discussed.

Hope, you may find this informaton useful.

Best Regards,
