Define Billing Schedule (SAP Library - Master Data (Sales and Distribution))

Define Billing Schedule

In this step, you define possible billing dates. To do this, store the billing dates in a separate calendar.

Use the general calendar function to create a calendar in which work days are interpreted as billing days for the billing calendar.

To define when a customer receives which billing documents, enter the calendar containing the billing schedules in the master record of the payer

The SAP system copies this specification automatically into the header of SD documents.

Example

If you create a calendar containing only the 15th and 30th of a month as workdays and if you specify this calendar for the billing schedules of a customer, billing is carried out on precisely these dates. If you edit the billing due list of a customer for these dates, the SAP system automatically selects the 15th or the 30th of a month as a billing date.

Actions

1. Check which billing arrangements were agreed with your customers.

2. Define the billing schedules in separate calendars.

3. Make sure that the number of the calendar is entered in the customer master records of the customers involved.

Transport

Changes to calendar data are not automatically recorded in a correction request.

To transport the calendar data to other systems, use the Transport function in the initial maintenance screen.

Be careful not to transport individual holidays or calendars, rather only the calendar data in its entirety. All holidays, and holiday and plant calendars existing in the target system will be deleted.
