Features

If you activate the business function, then the full range of functions of Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is available to you. Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in combination with Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable provides you with a high-performance backend solution for the mass creation of bills based on event detail records (EDRs).

Contract account checks and error messages in the invoicing process can trigger the creation of a clarification case.

In mass creation, the system creates the clarification case automatically; in individual creation, you can decide in dialog whether to create a clarification case.

When billing documents are transferred from external billing systems using a BAPI or IDoc interface, the system can check billing documents, recognize that they are implausible, and then create clarification cases.
