Normal processing with quantity/value This is the standard type of processing, where a customer displays deliveries from a vendor using self-billing documents. The vendor receives money.The system determines the corresponding SD document (delivery/current invoice or delivery confirmation if working with the JIT call procedure), compares it with the transmitted data, and creates new invoice documents if required for value or value and quantity differences.Depending on whether there is a difference only in value or also in quantity and value, the system automatically proceeds as follows: Value difference When the quantity is correct, but the value is not, the system automatically creates a credit or a debit advice, depending on the +/- sign of the difference. The value of this credit or debit memo position plus the value of the present billing item is then exactly the same as the value transmitted by the customer. See also The +/- Sign in SD Self-Billing .In these purely value-relevant documents, the system always leaves the original transaction quantity unchanged.You should make the appropriate settings to make sure that this quantity is set as not relevant for information system update, such as to the Sales Information System, Business Warehouse or CO-PA. You do this by defining the relevant item categories and/or document types as "value items" in Customizing. See also Differentiation of Value-Only and Value/Quantity Differences . Value and quantity difference When both value and quantity are incorrect (the quantity difference usually causing the value difference), the system automatically creates a document for the difference amount, but in this case the quantity for the document is the difference quantity.In this case, you should make sure that the quantity is set as relevant for information system update, such as to the Sales Information System, Business Warehouse or CO-PA. Usually, you can simply use the original item categories for this purpose. Normally, no extra Customizing settings are required.

Value-based clearing invoice without accessing SD Retro-Billing This type of processing assumes that the transmission explicitly states that it is a clearing invoice, by referring to a transaction that has already been settled.If you know that the transmissions from this sender always deal exclusively with value changes, then you should use this type of processing if:- you do not want quantities to be changed in your internal statistics update (SIS, CO-PA)

This might be the case if you know that quantity-relevant transactions, such as return deliveries, are never processing in self-billing.

- you are only using the automatic posting to bring the values into the system, so that they can be automatically cleared in FI on payment- you do not want to use retro-billing functions to check that the values transmitted are correct

Value-based clearing invoice with accessing SD Retro-Billing As above, except that the invoices, which are already in the document flow for the original delivery, are recalculated simulatively using the retro-billing functions. The system thus determines whether the amount transmitted agrees with the amount calculated simulatively in your system.This processing type is advantageous if you have set the system to create new open items automatically when a certain tolerance limit is exceeded. The tolerance check takes into account all postings with their +/- signs, so that no new open items are created unnecessarily. For example, if both you and your customer have changed a price retrospectively, the amount becomes the same and the debit amount is not interpreted as a difference.

Transaction not relevant for processing Certain combinations of ACTION codes are not supported. You should check such data and edit it manually if necessary.It is technically possible to edit the ACTION codes in the Self-Billing Monitor, so that the transmission can be processed. However, you must ensure that the processing type that results from this editing is the correct one.

Deactivation by system If you receive data that you definitively do not want to process, you can set the header ACTION code 007.The data record (IDoc) is adopted into the transmission, but is immediately deactivated for further processing. This means that it can never into the processing step.
