The billing format can be viewed as a further division of the billing variant (i.e., the billing structure) for the company. Billing formats determine what documents will be printed for the partner or venture:
- Invoice
- Statement
- Expenditure detail
The billing format is essentially a list of the types of documents to be generated for a venture or partner with the format for each type specified as well. The billing format makes it possible to assign different layout sets for the various billing documents to different partners or ventures. Thus, different formats can be used in printing these documents.
Depending on whether billing is done for the company at the partner or venture level, billing formats are customized formats for partners or ventures. The selection of whether billing is performed for partners or ventures is made on the billing structure.
Billing formats are assigned to the billing structure for the company. Multiple billing formats can be assigned to the single company billing structure.
Example
Requirements
To be able to assign layout sets to the documents assigned to the billing formats created in this step of JVA configuration, you must first define layout sets and assign them to both a form type or type of billing document (e.g., invoice, expenditure) and to the company's billing structure.
Standard settings
When you have defined the billing formats for the JVA company, you must assign the formats on the joint venture basic screen, if billing is being executed by venture for the company, or on the JVA partner record, if billing is being executed by partner for the company.
Recommendation
Activities
The first step in defining a billing format for a venture or a partner is to create the billing format itself and assign it to the company billing structure by selecting New Entries on the Billing Formats: Overview screen and entering the following information on the Billing Formats: New Entries screen:
In the BFor field, enter the name of the billing format.
In the Billing Format Text field, enter a description of the billing format.
In the BStr field, enter the name of the company's billing structure.
When you have defined the billing format, you should return to the Billing Formats: Overview screen and select the entry for the new billing format and then Format Type assignment. This will enable you to specify the SAPscript layout sets that will control the layout of the various billing documents (i.e., invoice, expenditure detail) assigned to the billing format on the Billing Format Definition screen.
The possible entries in the fields on this screen are largely fixed. When there is a choice, you should rely on the IMG, help, and pick lists to make selections.
In the FT or form type field, you should enter a code for the type of billing document to be generated. The following form types can be assigned to a billing format:
Form Description
Type
IV Invoice
IN Invoice (Norway)
EX Expenditure Detail
ST Statement
SI Supplemental Detail (Invoice)
SU Supplemental Detail (Expenditure Detail)
CI CI Partner Statement
NI NPI Partner Statement
The entry in the No field indicates the order in the sequence of documents assigned to the billing format in which the current document will be generated.
In the Layout set field, you should enter the code for the layout set that will control the formatting of the current document in the billing format.
