Billing creation date & posting date

[Former Member]

Hi

we created one Sales Order in which there is an item with item category TAS that creates a Purchase Requisition to do the direct shipment.

From the PR which were created triggered by the SO, we created PO and based on the PO we did consumption GR and IV.

IV posting date was 18/11/2011, and GR posting date was 1/12/2011.

After the process, Billing document has been created on 1/12/2011, with billing date 18/11/2011.

Following this Billing, Accounting document 00 was created with posting date 18/11/2011.

Also, Profitability Analysis was created on with the same posting date, 18/11/2011.

Looking at above 3 docs, all were created on 1/12/2011 whereas the posting date was on 18/11/2011.

Now I am wondering how the system determined the Billing date (and Posting date) to be 18/11/2011???

And is the trigger to create Billing document always the PGR against PO in case of direct shipment which is processed with a statistical GR??

Or the trigger to create the Billing document is a completion of both the PGR and IV??

Please I would again like to know how the determination of the billing date and posting date happens

Thanks

As it being a Third party scenario,

I think Posting depends on Goods movement (consumption based GR) ..

As there is no POD, so IV (MIRO) becomes the legal document that delivery is done to customer, so is the billing document being generated after IV is done.

 Billing date - 18/11/2011 

This depends on the billing date mainatin in Sales Order document.

 GR posting date - 1/12/2011 

Rightly commented in previous post.

This depend on date of PGR done on the system
