2457852 - Determination of a Invoicing Unit in an Invoice Which is Based on a Preceding Document

The Invoicing Unit in an invoice based on a preceding document, e.g. a sales order, is always automatically determined from the Seller Party. It is required to change the determination of the Invoicing Unit.

This can be reproduced with an invoice based on any preceding document. In the given example a sales order is used as the preceding document:

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Select the Invoice Requests view.
3. Select invoice request XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the invoice request).
4. Click on the Invoice button.

The Invoicing Unit and the Seller party are the same.

If an invoice request is based on a preceding document, e.g. a sales order, and it is desired to determine an Invoicing Unit which is not the Seller Party, the Invoicing Unit needs to exist in the sales order. This can be done by activating the Invoicing Unit in the Involved Parties for Sales Orders and then maintaining a determination rule to ensure the respective Invoicing Unit will be determined in the sales order.

If the Invoicing Unit is not present in the preceding document, the system will determine the Seller as Invoicing Unit.

The Invoicing Unit can be activated in the Involved Parties for Sales Orders as follows:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Select the Implementation Projects view.
3. Select the implementation project.
4. Click on the Open Activity List button.
5. Go to the Fine – Tune step.
6. Show All Activities.
7. Select the fine tuning activity Involved Parties for Sales Orders.
8. Click on the Add to Project button if the activity is not already added to the project.
9. Activate the party role Invoicing Unit.
10. Click on the Maintain Determinations button.

The required determination steps can be activated.
