Invoice list is the list where you can send an invoice, debit memo, credit memo together to a payer on a particular date.
All the billing documents have to be assigned to invoice list thru t-code "OVV7".
For invoice list you have to assign a factory calendar (t-code SCAL) to an invoice list. Factory calendar would decide when the invoice list has to be created.
You can apply a factoring discount
on the combination of all the docs which belongs to the invoice list. This
is an advantage of the invoice list.
CREATION OF INVOICE LIST (t-code VF24) :
Select the Billing screen.
Depending on the number of billing documents that you want to include, you can choose one of two ways to create the invoice list. You can either
- Select Invoice list Create and enter each billing document separately
- Create a list for all billing documents that are relevant for the invoice list. You can then process the work list for invoice lists.
This procedure shows you how
to create the work list.
Select Invoice list Edit work list.
Enter your selection criteria and press ENTER.
The system displays a list of billing documents that meet your selection criteria.
Select the billing documents that you want to include in the invoice list and select Invoice list Save.
You can also simulate creation of
invoice lists via the work list for invoice lists. This is useful as a
test option. The simulation also allows you to carry out a split analysis,
which shows you why billing documents are written to different invoice
lists (e.g. due to different payers).
Prerequisites
You can only process invoice lists if the following prerequisite data is defined by your system administrator in Customizing for Sales:
Condition type RL00 (factoring discount) must be maintained and, if required, also the condition type MW15.
An invoice list type must be assigned to each billing type that you want to process in invoice lists. The standard version of the SAP R/3 System includes two types of invoice lists: LR for invoices and debit memos, LG for credit memos.
Copying requirements must be defined (for example, the payer, terms of payment and other fields that must be identical in the documents to be included in the invoice list)
In addition, before you process an invoice list, you must maintain the following master data:
A customer calendar must be defined, specifying the time intervals or dates on which invoice lists are to be processed.
The customer calendar must be entered in the Billing Sales Area view of the customer master record.
Pricing condition records for the condition type RL00 and, if necessary, (e.g. in Germany) the condition type MW15 must be maintained.
Output condition records for condition types LR00 and RD01 must be create
