Creating Invoices for Chargeable Components 

Use

After you have sent chargeable components to a subcontractor, you create an invoice for the components. You create the invoice from the goods issue document that the warehouseman created when he issued the components.

To see the activity in its context, see step 3 of the Subcontracting Process.

Prerequisites

You have made the settings in Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing Inventory Management and Physical Inventory  ® Subcontracting with Chargeable Components  ® Invoices for Chargeable Components.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Subcontracting with Chargeable Components area menu, choose Processes  ® Create Invoices for Chargeable Components.

       2.      In the Material Documents group box, specify which goods issue documents – the documents that the warehouseman created when he issued the chargeable components – you want to create the invoices for.

Alternatively, to create the invoices for a specific delivery or purchasing document, fill out the Other Documents group box instead.

       3.      In the Processing group box, select Display.

       4.      In the Display Options group box, select Not Invoiced.

       5.      Choose .

The system displays a list of line items with chargeable components that you can create invoices for. The list is formatted using the SAP List Viewer: see this documentation for more information about navigating and formatting options within the list.

Note that you can only create invoices for line items of the following goods movement types:

Type	Explanation
101	Goods receipts from third-party deliveries
102	Reversals of goods receipts from third-party deliveries
122	Returns of goods from third-party deliveries
123	Reversals of goods returns from third-party deliveries
541	Issues of goods from warehouse to subcontractor’s stock
542	Reversals of goods issues from warehouse to subcontractor’s stock

You must use these movement types in the place of other movement types. For example, instead of using 161 (Goods Return) or 162 (Goods Return, Reversal), use 122 or 123 instead.

       6.      If you want to create one or two invoices, you can create them from the output list directly, even in display mode. Select the line items that you want to create invoices for and choose  Create Invoice.

       7.      If you want to create a large number of invoices, check the list to make sure that it contains all of the line items that you want to create invoices for. If not:

                            a.      Go back to the selection screen.

                            b.      Change the entries in the Material Documents and Other Documents group boxes.

                            c.      Choose .

                            d.      Check the list of line items.

                            e.      Repeat steps (a) through (d) until the list contains all of the items that you want to see.

       8.      When the list contains all of the items that you want:

                            a.      Go back to the selection screen.

                            b.      Change Display to Create.

                            c.      Choose .
