3625541 - How is pricing date in billing document determined

In the Billing Document how is the pricing date determined and how can we get it copied from preceding document.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a sales order.
2. Generate a delivery document based on the sales order.
3. Create an billing document using the VF01 app.
4. Note that the pricing date in the billing document.

Below logic will be executed by sequence:

1. By default, the billing pricing date will get copied from the source document's pricing date.
2. If the source document's pricing date is initial, then it will use the billing date. 
3. For delivery related billing, the OBD's billing date will overwrite the pricing date.
4. If manually a billing date is selected in (VF01 or VF04 initial screen), then this chosen billing date gets updated as the billing date in the billing document , but will not change the pricing date.
5. If manually a pricing date is selected in (VF01 or VF04 initial screen), then this chosen pricing date will be the pricing date.

Apart from the above standard process if the requirement is to copy the pricing date from the preceding document like Sales order , the custom logic apps for the SD_BIL_DATA_TRANSFER  can be utilized to map the pricing date from the Sales Order.
CDS view I_SALESDOCUMENT can be used to get the SO's pricing date and map it accordingly to the billing document.
