Collective Invoice

A collective invoice contains one or multiple single invoices. A collective invoice has its own collective invoice header.

You can bundle single invoices in the following ways:

within the single invoice:
Enter the collective invoice number in the single invoices.
within the collective invoice:
You can bundle single invoices by means of mass entry.

For more information, see Creation of Single Invoices (Mass Entry).

Integration

The collective invoice is one type of a claim bundle. SAP has predefined the category of Collective Invoice for the claim bundle type of the same name (Collective Invoice). You also make the customizing settings for the collective invoice in Customizing of the claim bundle (see below under "Prerequisites“).

From a technical point of view, the collective invoice uses objects of the claim bundle. For example, the system saves collective invoices in table ICLCCEVENT, and the link to the associated invoices (invoice entry) or payment proposals (invoice processing) in table ICLCLAIMA.
