Process documentationAdapting of Invoice Previews (SD-BIL)

 

You can use this process to customize the standard invoice attributes provided to suit your own requirements. For example, as delivered the invoice form TM_INVOICE_FORM01 contains standard invoice attributes from SAP ERP with some specific attributes from SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM). You may wish to add other attributes from SAP TM to the standard invoice attributes.

You can determine the output type to be used with the method GET_INVOICE_PRNT_OUTPUT_TYPES. The following information applies:

  • Importing parameter is the billing type (KSCHL)

  • Corresponding message schema is determined from table TVFK

  • All assigned output types are read from table T683S

  • All valid output types are determined from table TNAPR (message transmission medium = Print Output)

  • First output type is returned using exporting parameter EV_OUTPUT_TYPE

In addition, you can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BADI_TM_INVOICE with method CHANGE_OUTPUT_TYPE, to create rules for output type determination, such as the following:

  • Country US: message type TM00

  • Country GE: message type TM01

For more information about this BAdI, see Customizing for Integration with other SAP Components under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Invoice Integration Next navigation step Billing Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Next navigation step BAdI: Invoice Print Preview Integration with TM End of the navigation path.
