Hi,

is it really neccessary to do the billing in foreground? If you are doing the billing as background job (plan TR VF04 as background job), than you have not the problem, that your users could change the billing date and you do not need a transaction variant.

Hi Manoranjan,

One way to acheive it is using transaction variant as Mr Lakshmipathi suggested. You can create a t-code (eg:ZVF01) using a transaction variant where the billing doc field will only be in display mode and this t-code authorization will be given to users where you don't want them to change the billing document and the stndard T-code VF01 can be given to users who can change the billing date.

Another way of doing this is by creating an authorization object for this billing date using t-code SU21 and assign this to the user roles and give change option to users who can chnage the billing date and display option to other users. Also for this to work before assigning to user roles you need to check the object at SU24.

You should NOT go with the suggestions given by others if you want to achieve the above.  Imagine, a delivery was PGId on 4th and today (8th) if you invoice, what date system will propose in this case ?  As per the suggestion, system will propose 8th whereas, your requirement is 4th.

In normal circumstances, system will propose the Actual GI date as the billing date and your requirement is it should not be changed by user.  To achieve this, go with Transaction Variant (TCode shd0).  If you are not familiar with this functionality, search in google or in this forum.

As I said already, just try in google with the text "Transaction Variant" so that you will find lot of documentations posted on this topic.  Few have with screen shots.  Take the inputs from there.

Dear Manoranjan

As Avinash has said, you can do it by selecting the routine 11 at item level.

Hi,

You can do the setting in t.code VTFL (copy control from delivery document to billing document).

Here go to item level and in the field Data VBRK/VBRP - select routine 11 (Bill date = today) and save

Hi Avinash,

In VTFL Data VBRK/VBRP filed = 007, if we have changed from 007 to 11 then what is the business impact and my requirement  PGI date is equal to billing date is fullfield or not.
