3757340 - Automatic Invoice Split by Fixed Lot Size from a Single Delivery - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

A business requirement exists to automate lot-size billing where invoices must be generated strictly in fixed lot quantities (for example, generating ten separate invoices of 10 units each from a single sales order or delivery of 100 units).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

This behavior is by design. Standard SAP billing configuration consolidates delivery items into a single billing document as long as header criteria (such as sold-to party, payment terms, billing date, etc.) match. Standard billing copy control does not provide an out-of-the-box configuration switch to split an individual delivery line item into multiple invoices based on a fixed quantity metric.

Resolution

To meet this requirement, two paths are available depending on whether you want a standard manual workaround or an automated system capability:

  1. Manual workaround (standard): In the Create Billing Documents app, choose “Choose delivery items to be billed and select quantities”, enter the desired lot quantity (for example, 10 units), and create the invoices one by one from the same delivery.
  2. Automated split (via Cloud BAdI): Implement custom logic using BAdI SD_BIL_DATA_TRANSFER to automatically split billing into fixed lot sizes when creating invoices with reference to a single delivery. Define the quantity-based split rules per your business requirements, test in a quality tenant, and deploy to production.
