Component documentationIntegration: Invoice Processing (MM-IV/SD-BIL) - SAP TM

 

In integrated invoice processing, you can enter, process, or display invoices that refer to documents in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM).

You can use the following functions in SAP ERP, for example:

  • Create invoices

  • Simulate TM forwarding settlement document (FWSD) with SD invoice integration in SAP TM

  • Freight settlement document (FSD) integration from SAP TM to create service confirmations

  • Process and check invoices

  • Release invoices

  • Preview invoices

  • Archive invoices

  • Maintain GR/IR clearing account

  • Evaluated receipt settlement

Integration

These functions are only available if you have SAP TM connected.

Note Note

To be able to use these functions, you must activate the following business functions:

  • TMS-ERP: Invoice Integration (LOG_TM_IV_INT). Invoice verification for documents that originate from SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) is then possible with SAP Transportation Management 8.0 (SAP TM 8.0) or higher.

  • ERP-TMS: Order and Invoice Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT_II) allows you to display an outgoing invoice print preview as a simulation in SAP TM with standard invoice attributes from SAP ERP. Further, you can generate the invoice in SAP TM and by doing so save the invoice data in SAP ERP to print the outgoing invoice with additional TM data. In addition, SAP TM system uses the freight charges in the TM freight settlement document as the basis of the freight cost distribution. SAP TM transfers freight costs and the allocated freight cost at the ERP item level to SAP ERP. This enables you to post financial details, with account assignments for the allocated costs. This applies from SAP Transportation Management 9.0 (SAP TM 9.0) or higher.

End of the note.
Enterprise Services

Technically, the data is transferred from SAP TM to SAP ERP using the following enterprise services:

Incoming Invoices

  • External Services Management (MM-SRV)

    In SAP ERP, incoming invoices are created based on SAP TM data by creating a service purchase order and a service entry sheet. The following enterprise services are available for processing freight invoices:

    • To create a service purchase order and service entry sheet: TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_In

    • To cancel a service purchase order and service entry sheet: TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationCancellationRequest_In

  • Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV)

    In SAP ERP for logistics invoice verification, internal documents that the system requires for invoice creation are created based on TM data. When incoming invoices are entered or canceled, SAP TM is informed by enterprise service Supplier Invoice Notification (InvoiceNotification_Out).

    While verifying invoices in SAP ERP, a URI to display a specific freight settlement document can be retrieved from SAP TM by the Web service GetTransportationDocumentURI.

Outgoing Invoices

  • Billing (SD-BIL)

    In SAP ERP, outgoing invoices are created based on TM data and sent to the bill-to parties.

    Enterprise services are available in the Customer Invoice Processing process component for the following tasks:

    • To create a customer invoice: CustomerFreightInvoiceRequestSUITERequest_In_V1

    • To cancel a customer invoice: CustomerFreightInvoiceRequestSUITECancellationRequest_In_V1

    • To confirm the creation or cancellation of a customer invoice: CustomerFreightInvoiceRequestSUITEConfirmation_Out_V1

    • To simulate a billing document and get the result in PDF format: CustomerFreightInvoiceRequestSUITESimulate_In

For more information, see the documentation for the enterprise services.

BAPIs (Incoming Invoice)

The following BAPIs were enhanced or adapted:

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE1

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_GETDETAIL

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_GETLIST

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CHANGE

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_DELETE

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_POST

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CANCEL

IDoc (Incoming Invoice)

In the IDoc INVOIC01/INVOIC02 (invoice/billing document) in the segment type E1EDP02, the following qualifiers are relevant:

  • T01 = Freight order

  • T02 = Bill of lading

  • T03 = Air waybill

  • T04 = Flight number

  • T05 = Voyage number

Note Note

For technical reasons, in SAP ERP one purchase order is created per freight settlement document, which the system requires for invoice creation. If several freight settlement documents are transferred with reference to one TM document, the EDI invoice item can only be assigned using this purchase order number. For a unique assignment, there is also the qualifier TP1 (TM purchase order number). It is possible to transfer several segment types E1EDP02 per invoice item with the IDoc (for example, the qualifiers T01, T03, and TP1).
