Documentation

Definition

The system uses the variant creditor instead of the invoicing party for postings in FI. The variant creditor is optional. Only the company code data must be maintained for the variant creditor. It is not necessary to maintain the purchasing data.

If the variant creditor is different from the invoicing party, the company code data does not need to be filled for the invoicing party.

Use

Dependencies

The system determines the variant creditor by the partner role defined in Customizing for the billing document type based on the purchasing data for the invoicing party. Alternatively, the BAdI WLF_DETERMINE_LIFNR_FI can be used to implement an individual determination of the variant creditor.
