In this step, you define the billing document types that model the different business transactions involved with vendor billing activities.

You can do the following:

  • Change an existing billing document type.
  • Copy an existing billing document type and change this to suit your requirements.
  • Create a new billing document type.

In this step, you do not enter any information for the following functions:

  • Statistics
  • Account determination
  • Pricing

These functions are addressed later in other steps.

However, this means that you only finish all the necessary activities for a billing document type after you have processed all the steps.

Billing Type

In this step, you make or check the following settings:

  • Billing Type
    • Enter an alphanumeric key of up to 4 figures for the billing document type.
    • Give the key a description to explain what it is.
  • Vendor billing document category

    Here you assign a a billing document type to a specific business transaction . This makes the billing document unique, that is, a document can be uniquely identified as an invoice or as a reversal document.

    Enter an alphanumeric key.

    Press F4 to find out which keys you can enter.

Incoterms

Select the Incoterms Active checkbox to specify Incoterms manually in agency documents. These Incoterms influence pricing.

Number Systems

  • Number assignment

    Enter a number range for number assignment. Billing documents can be assigned numbers internally by the system. If you want different billing document types to have the same number assignment, you must enter the same number range for these.

    The number ranges must already exist. For more information about this, see the step Number ranges, vendor billing document.

  • Item increment

    Here you must enter the increment for item number assignment.

Cancellation

  • Cancellations/reversals

    Here you define the reversal billing document type to be suggested automatically by the system when you want to cancel a billing document.

    You can only enter a reversal billing document type that already exists.

    You must also define copy rules (see the section on Copy control).

Accounting

  • Posting block

    Here you define whether a billing document with a particular billing document type is automatically blocked for transfer to Financial Accounting (FI). If you select this checkbox, you must release the billing documents at a later point before they can be passed on to FI.

SAP recommendation

  • Check whether you can use the billing document types contained in the standard SAP configuration.
  • If you define your own billing document types, start the key with the letter Z, because SAP keeps this name range free for customers.
  • Also, if you define your own billing document types, copy similar SAP billing document types and change them to suit yourself.

Activities

  • If you only have to make slight changes existing billing document types, change them directly.

    An example of a slight change is a change to the name or the number range. These are parameters that are not of a controlling character.

  • If you have to make more extensive changes, define new billing document types. This allows you to define different account assignments for different billing document types.

Standard settings

The standard system contains eight different billing document types:

  • 0001 for invoices
  • 0002 for credit memos
  • 0003 for invoice reversals
  • 0004 for credit memo reversals
  • 0005 for remuneration lists
  • 0006 for credit memo lists
  • 0007 for reversal remuneration lists
  • 0008 for reversal credit memo lists
  • 0009 for settlement lists
  • 0010 for posting lists

The following three billing document types have been created for special types of processing in agency business:

  • 1000 for agency business
  • 1001 for agency business incidental costs
  • 1002 for agency business reversal

The following four billing document types have been created for settlement of arrangements in Purchasing:

  • BM11 Rebate final settlement POrg (final settlement at purchasing organization level)
  • BM30 Rebate settlement plant (partial settlement at plant level)
