Invoicing dates & Invoicing List Dates for collective Billing

[Former Member]

Hello Guru,

Please what is the difference between Invoicing dates & Invoicing List Dates on the customer Master data?

I have requirements to combine into one billing document all deliveries for the same customer per Ship-To on a weekly basis.

Please can you tell me which field will be appropriate to use and how the solution can be achieved?

Please do simplify the answers as I am new to SAP.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Invoicing dates field is used to enter the customer specific calender for billing the customer - like in your case weekly basis.

Whereas Invoice list is a functionality when you combine all Invoices into a single Invoice list which give details of Invoices created in a day, as an example. We can accordingly specify Invoice list dates also if there is a customer requirement.

For your requirement you can use Invoicing dates.

Thanks so much, very clear. One more question please.

Do it means when the invoicing date is assigned to the Inv.Dates field the system will automatically generate the Billing document on this date or do we need to write an ABAP program to automate the billing creation?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Please search the forum before posting any questions. You must read the rules posted on the top of the forum questions.

For example check the link, the same question has been answered before

Plenty of information are available in the forum/help.sap.com/google. Make use of these resources for basic definition/details.

For your second question, the system will not automatically create. You need to schedule the billing job program SAPMV60S to run in the background.
