Automatic Posting To Vendor Account (SAP-EDI)

In this activity, you set up automatic posting to vendor account for intercompany billing with SAP-EDI direct to financial accounting.

EDI outbound processing for intercompany billing links to EDI inbound processing for invoice receipt in FI and posting to vendor account is carried out in the selling company code.

prerequisites:

Before making the settings in Customizing you must create a vendor master record that represents the delivering company code. This vendor master record must be created in "Selling company code".

You also need an output condition record (transaction VV31) for output type "RD04" and the customers for intercompany billing.

Customizing settings:

1. Message type:

Message type RD04 is set for posting to vendor account in intercompany billing. (TA:V/040)

2. Message determination procedure:

Message determination procedure V40000 is valid for billing type IV.

3. Message control:

In the administration of EDI processing, a partner agreement must be defined for message control of inbound and outbound processing, since sender and receiver data are needed. The outbound process code is used to initiate a function module version 5 (function module version 3.0 for initiating inbound processing).

Process code outbound: SD08.

For further information on settings for messages, see the IMG section "messages".
