Billing in SAP

Print This Post Email This Post Written by admin on Jul 29th, 2009 | Filed under: Sales and Distribution (SD)

Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in sales order processing. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing. Billing functions include:

  • Creation of invoices based on deliveries or services
  • Issue of credit and debit memos and pro forma invoices
  • Cancelling billing transactions
  • Comprehensive pricing functions
  • Issue rebates
  • Transfer billing data to financial accounting

Like all parts of sales order processing in mySAP ERP, billing is integrated into the organizational structures. Thus, you can assign the billing transactions a specific sales organization, a distribution channel, and a division. Because billing has an interface to financial accounting, the organizational structures of the accounting  department (the company codes as well as the sales organizations assigned to the company codes) are important. During a billing processing it is possible for you to create, change, and delete billing documents.

It is possible to create billing documents:

  • With reference to a sales order document
  • With reference to a delivery document
  • With reference to external transactions
  • By having the system automatically process a billing due list as a background task
  • By manually processing from a worklist
  • By creating a billing document explicitly
  • By combining several sales order documents into a collective billing document
  • By billing one or more sales order documents with several billing documents
  • By creating an individual billing document for every sales document

Billing and Financial Accounting
The system automatically posts the amounts to the appropriate accounts by means of account determination. Costs and revenue can be posted to the following accounts:

  • Customer accounts receivable
  • General ledger (for example, a cash clearing account)
  • Revenue
  • Sales deductions
  • Accruals (for rebate agreements)
  • Accrual account
  • Accrual clearing account

Shipping in SAP Sales and Distribution

Print This Post Email This Post Written by admin on Jul 29th, 2009 | Filed under: Sales and Distribution (SD)

Shipping is an important part of the logistics chain.  In shipping processing, all delivery procedure decisions can be made at the start
of the process by:

  • Taking into account general business agreements with your customer
  • Recording special material requests
  • Defining shipping conditions in the sales order

The result is an efficient and largely automatic shipping process in which manual changes are necessary only under certain circumstances.

Shipping Functions
The shipping module supports the following functions, which include but are not limited to:

  • Deadline monitoring for reference documents due for shipment (sales orders and purchase orders, for instance)
  • Creating and processing outbound deliveries
  • Packing deliveries
  • Information support for transportation planning
  • Supporting foreign trade requirements
  • Printing and transmitting shipping documents
  • Processing goods issue
  • Deliveries currently in process
  • Activities that are still to be carried out
  • Identifying possible bottlenecks
