Posting Customer Invoices (SD)

Use

When you post a customer invoice in Sales and Distribution (SD-BIL), the system has to capture the business place information at line item level for the financial accounting document it generates. This happens automatically when you follow the standard procedure.

Procedure

To post a customer invoice in SD-BIL:

From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Billing ® Billing Document ® Create.
Enter the data as required and save the invoice.

Note

You do not need to enter the business place since the invoices are automatically defaulted to the correct business place either through the receiving plant or the sales office, via the original sales order.

Result

The system:

Assigns the document an invoice number, which it enters in the Reference no. field
Enters the business place in the header data of the SD document. (When the document is transferred to FI, the system enters the business place in each line item.)

You can view the business place to which your invoice is assigned by displaying the billing document’s header data.
