Automatic Transfer of Billing Date to Accounting Documents 

Use

When you create an invoice in Sales and Distribution (SD), the system copies the billing date into the Document Header Text field in the accounting document. This information is then used by the VAT Register.

Activities

Customizing

...

       1.      Create a project for the enhancement SDVFX001 (see Creating an Add-On Project).

       2.      Within this project, create a function module for the user exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_001 that reads the billing date and copies it into the Document Header Text field in the accounting document (see Creating Customer-Specific Function Modules).

Day-to-Day Activities

When a sales clerk create a billing document in SD, the system transfers the billing date to the Document Header Text field in the corresponding accounting document.

Reporting

When you run the VAT Register for a given period, you enter the first and last dates of that period in the Tax Date field. The report then only covers the invoices whose billing date falls within this period.
