Definition

An invoicing process is a superordinate term for the execution of invoicing functions according to defined rules. These rules are defined as an invoicing process by means of control parameters, and you have the following control options:

  • Selection of invoicing functions:
    • Some invoicing functions are always active, since otherwise data and program consistency could not be guaranteed.
    • Other invoicing functions are optional and are only executed in invoicing processes in which they have been activated.
  • Item selection
    • You can define the items that are permitted for the invoicing process individually.

Use

In addition to invoicing processes delivered by SAP, you can define your own invoicing processes. For each process, you can adjust the behavior of the SAP invoicing program to meet your requirements so that only the invoicing functions required are carried out and they are performed in accordance with your requiremens. This flexibility is an addition to the non-modification enhancement options with includes, BAdis, and events.

Dependencies

You cannot change the order in which the invoicing functions are performed. This order is fixed by the main invoicing program. You should also note that customer enhancements in an invoicing function are only performed if this invoicing function is active. Reference is made to invoicing processes at the following points (among others):

  • Invoicing processes are used as selection parameters for invoicing mass activities.
  • Number ranges for invoicing documents are defined dependent on the invoicing processes.
  • Invoicing processes are a differentiation characteristic for the activation of optional invoicing functions.

-> Fine control of Invoicing with invoicing process, invoicing type, and invoicing category.
