Like all parts of sales order processing in the SAP System, billing is integrated into the organizational structures. Thus you can assign the billing transactions a specific sales organization, a distribution channel, and a division. Since billing has an interface to Financial Accounting, the organizational structures of the accounting department, (the company codes as well as the sales organizations assigned to the company codes) are important.
