Background job for accounting release of invoices after PGI

[sweta8814]

Hi Experts,

Currently, we have a business scenario where so, delivery & invoicing document is created and later on PGI is posted which should trigger accounting entry of that invoice document on PGI date.

I need to schedule background job which will release for accounting entry whenever PGI is done.

Kindly share if there is any standard program/variant available in SAP or should i develop custom program?

Standard program is rather a question for a functional consultant. I'm not sure this is a good design, in general. Either billing document should not be created before PGI or a proforma document should be used. In S/4 there is some new (?) "pre-bill" functionality, I think, but again, it's a question for an SD consultant to research.

There are several older posts on this subject that can be found by googling "release invoice after PGI site:sap.com"

thank you for response but this scenario is needed for a business client.

I need to write below logic-

1. Pass the date in table LIKP - WADAT_IST and LFART = ZEXM. Pass the delivery number (VBELN) in VBUK – VBELN and check if WBSTK = C. If yes then proceed or else no action required.
2. Pass the delivery number in VBRP – VGBEL and get the Invoice number from VBELN.

can u please help me??

Sorry, I cannot help with this. As I said, it's a bad design and a bad idea that I cannot in good consciousness support. I'd just kick this back to the SD/FI consultant. Standard process is delivery -> PGI -> billing document -> accounting document. If you need a billing document before PGI, then use a proforma. That's it, no need for any ABAP. There is no reason whatsoever to create a real billing document before PGI and then hold it from being posted until after. I honestly can't imagine what such process would possibly achieve that the normal process doesn't provide. It's "we don't do that here" type of thing.
