Invoicing Types

Definition

Characteristic that characterizes the composition of invoicing units. It is used to classify invoicing documents and controls the invoicing functions within an invoicing process.

Use

For each invoicing process you have to define one or more invoicing types. To do this, you can either define a standard value in the configuration of the invoicing process, or determine the invoicing type dynamically in the invoicing run dependent on the composition of the invoicing unit in event 2603. To help you to make this decision, you can use the table where the invoicing orders to be processed in the current invoicing unit are recorded.

Example

You differentiate between billing documents that belong to a periodic billing from billing documents that have arisen due to the end of a contract (final billing documents). Interest can only be calculated on cash security deposits and cleared against the invoice receivable for the invoicing of final billing documents. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. You define an invoicing type Standard and assign it to the invoicing processes.

  2. You define a further invoicing type, Final Billing .

  3. In event 2603, you check whether final billing documents are processed. If yes, set the invoicing type Final Billing .

  4. In event 2622, you define that interest is only calculated on cash security deposits for invoicing type Final Billing .

  5. In posting area 2630 (account maintenance), you permit the clearing of cash security deposits for invoicing type Final Billing only.
