Documentation
Definition
The date on which the billing is processed and booked for accounting purposes.
Use
You can use the billing date as one of the selection criteria when you process billing documents collectively.
Procedure
If invoice dates are defined for the customer, the system proposes the billing date from the invoice date calendar. If no invoice dates are agreed, then the actual goods issue date is formed on the basis of delivery related billing. In order related billing, the billing date of the order forms the basis of the billing date.
If you are billing services, the system proposes the date of services rendered. You can change the date manually in the sales document.
If you are using a billing plan to bill a project, the system can propose billing dates for the billing plan on the basis of planned or actual dates in the corresponding milestone.
In a billing plan for a maintenance or rental contract, you can specify rules by which the system determines billing dates on the basis of other dates in the contract.
