An invoicing plan enables you to schedule invoice creation over a series of future due dates independently of individual procurement transactions and the actual receipt of goods or services. You can inform the vendor when the invoice documents are created. For more information, refer to Messages in Logistics Invoice Verification.
You can have invoices generated in the system and forwarded to Financial Accounting for payment automatically with respect to PO items for which you have scheduled a series of invoicing dates in an invoicing plan.
If you have several PO items with invoicing plans in the system (usually providing for invoicing on different dates), it is advisable to carry out settlement accounting with regard to these plans on a daily basis.
To carry out automatic settlement accounting with respect to invoicing plans, proceed as follows:
Choose
.On the selection screen, enter the following criteria for the invoicing plans in respect of which settlement is due:
Company code
Plant
Vendor
Purchasing Document
Item
You can specify how the invoice documents are to be created:
Per vendor
Per purchase order
Per purchase order item
Start the settlement accounting process either online or in the background.
You can set the Test mode
indicator in order to initially simulate the results of settlement accounting.
After running the settlement accounting program, you get a log listing the invoiced transactions and drawing your attention to any errors that may have occurred. For more information on processing the log, refer to the General Application Function of the SAP List Viewer.
You can also post invoices manually against invoicing plans. Note that in this case the same messages generated are not the same as in the case of evaluated receipt settlement.
We recommend automatic posting.
For more information, refer to Invoice Verification Online.
You have invoices in the system, which are processed further in Financial Accounting.
