Billing Functions 

Use

Scheduling agreement processing offers you and your customer the flexibility to bill deliveries based on delivery schedules in a variety of ways.

Features

Besides the standard billing functions, there is a wide range of billing methods specifically for the component supplier industry and their customers. These are:

Self-billing documents bring efficiency to the billing process between you and your customer since you do not have to invoice the customer. Instead, customers are directly involved in the billing process. They prepare billing documents themselves that you either compare to your own (standard self-billing), or use as original documents (self-billing with invoice creation).

You may change the price of a material after it has already been billed and settled. In this case, you create a retro-billing list to revaluate billing documents with the new price. You create an additional billing document to settle the difference. The retro-billing list function is only available for the standard self-billing procedure.

Because of the long validity periods of scheduling agreements, the system carries out a second pricing run during billing. This ensures that any changes to pricing agreements are taken into account.

You make special Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) settings for billing documents in Customizing.
