  Mass Processing with Collective Invoices

You can perform the following activities as mass processing in the background, since these activities can take a lot of time if processed in dialog mode:

Below you can find a description of the function for a payout (this description is also valid for the two other activities):

If you want to pay out 10 or more single invoices in a collective invoice, the system displays a dialog box. In this dialog box you can select which processing mode you want to use.

Note Note

You can use the SET/GET parameter ICLE_BULKINV_PAY_DI to set a value other than 10 (see also SAP Note 1035023).

End of the note.

For background processing the system creates a background job with one of the following job names (in each case followed by the number of the collective invoice):

  • BULKINV_PMNT< Number of collective invoice>

  • BULKINV_CANC< Number of collective invoice>

  • BULKINV_TOOL< Number of collective invoice>

Each payment or reversal corresponds to one job step in the background job. For example, if you pay out 100 single invoices, the system creates a background job with 100 job steps.

The following background events are available for the background jobs:

  • For payout: SAP_ICL_BULKINVOICE_INVPAY

  • For reversal: SAP_ICL_BULKINV_INVCANC

  • For collective actions: SAP_ICL_BULKINV_TOOL

To trigger these background events, proceed as follows:

  1. Call up transaction SM64.

  2. Select the relevant background event.

  3. Choose with the quick info text Trigger...

Once the background job has been completed, the system sends an express mail to the performer.
