Processing of Invoice Previews (SD-BIL)
You can display an invoice preview of an SAP ERP SD billing document within a settlement document transaction from SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM).
Note
The logon language of the user in SAP TM determines the language used for all invoice preview texts.
See Prerequisites: Invoice Processing (MM-IV/SD-BIL) - SAP TM
You can use the following functions:
Display an invoice print preview in SAP TM
An invoice print preview is a successor of the TM forwarding settlement document containing TM-specific attributes at item level, such as distance, dimension, package type, and container type. It also contains standard invoice attributes added from ERP, such as bill-to and tax condition types. But it is a simulation which means that when you display it in SAP TM, the invoice has not been saved yet within SAP ERP at this point of time.
Save the invoice data in SAP ERP
In SAP TM when you transfer the Forwarding Settlement Document (FWSD), all the data is saved in SAP ERP, including the TM-specific attributes. For example, TM attributes such as the waybill number, source location, and destination location, can be included in the billing document printed out in SAP ERP.
