Settlement of Amounts Due Under SAP Invoicing Plans

Automatic Settlement Accounting

As a rule, automatic settlement accounting is used in connection with periodic invoicing plans.

You can have invoices generated in the system and forwarded to Financial Accounting for payment automatically with respect to PO items for which you have scheduled a series of invoicing dates in an invoicing plan.

If you have several PO items with invoicing plans in the system (usually providing for invoicing on different dates), it is advisable to carry out settlement accounting with regard to these plans on a daily basis.

Manual Invoice Creation

You have to create invoices manually in connection with partial invoicing plans if you have no reference invoicing plan for the system to use as a basis for generating suggested invoicing dates for the plan in question.

Please refer to the Logistics Invoice Verification documentation for details.

Procedure

To carry out automatic settlement accounting with respect to invoicing plans, proceed as follows:

1. Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Invoice verification ® Logistics invoice verification.

2. Choose Further processing ® Invoicing plan.

On the initial screen, enter your selection criteria for the invoicing plans in respect of which settlement is due.

3. Start the settlement accounting process either online or in the background.

You can set the Test mode indicator in order to initially simulate the results of settlement accounting.

After running the settlement accounting program, you get a log listing the invoiced transactions and drawing your attention to any errors that may have occurred.

Result

You have invoices in the system, which are processed further in Financial Accounting.
