Documentation

Definition

Date on which billing is carried out and the bill is posted in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA).

Use

When you process billing documents in collective processing, you can use the billing date as selection criterion.

Procedure

If billing dates are defined for customers, the system proposes the billing date from the billing date calendar. If no billing dates have been agreed, the billing date date for delivery-based billing is based on the actual goods issue date, and for order-based billing, the billing date is based on the billing date of the order. If you bill services, the system proposes the date of services rendered. You can change the date in the sales document manually.

If you use a billing plan to bill a project, the system can use the planned and actual dates to propose billing dates for the billing plan in the corresponding partial billing. In the billing plan for a maintenance or rental agreement, you can specify rules for determining billing dates based on other contract data.
