InterCompany Billing - Automatic Posting To Vendor Account (SAP-EDI) in SAP

S/4HANA

Automatic posting to vendor account is done by EDI. In our case where both companies
are processed in the same system (& client), it is sufficient to create Idoc.

This process requires several steps:

1. Creating a Customer to represent the receiving Company (customer).

2. Creating a Vendor to represent the supplying company (supplier).
3. Creating a Port
4. Maintain an Output Type
5. Creating a Logical Address
6. Creating a Partner Profile for both Customer & Vendor
7. The relevant MM customizing is maintained.
8. The relevant FI customizing is maintained.

1. Creating a Customer to represent the receiving Company

The customer has already been created (BP) for the purpose of Intercompany processing
and entered in the appropriate transaction in customizing (Sales and Distribution 

Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization

In this menu option, you assign an internal customer number for intercompany billing to your sales
organization. In intercompany billing, the intercompany billing document is created for this customer
number which represents your sales organization. The intercompany billing document is assigned via
the internal customer number of your sales organization.

Actions

1. Create a customer number that represents your sales organization.

2. Enter this customer number for the corresponding sales organization.

Output Type RD04 - Invoice Receipt MM is a special function, responsible for the
execution of the IDOC and will be entered in the Partner Profile later on.

Output type RD04 is maintained: Img: Sales and Distribution  Basic functions 

Types (T. Code V/40).

Maintain Output Types

Use

In this step, you define the output types for output type records.

The output type represents different output, such as quotations, order confirmations, and delivery notes
in the system.

Note that when multiple address handling is enabled, you must specify the form type as PDF and
maintain the appropriate program, form routine, and PDF form name accordingly to print the address in
the output.

For more information about multiple address handling for business partners in sales and distribution
and how to enable it, see Multiple Address Handling Using SAP Business Partner.

Mickaël QUESNOT https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

6|Page
To define an output type, make the following entries:

• Output type

alphanumeric key with up to four characters to identify the output condition

• Access sequence

access sequence key

• Description

text describing the output type

• Detailed data (only the most important data is listed here):

o Output type

one-digit, numeric key which defines the type of output processing (for example,
printout, message sent by telefax or mail)

o Time

one-digit, numeric key which defines the time of output processing (for example,
immediately when saving a document or during the next selection run)

o Partner function

partner function for defining the recipient of an output in the sales & distribution
document

o Condition access

indicator which controls whether the output is to be proposed using the condition
technique
If you do not set the indicator, the system finds the output using the proposal in the
customer master record. However, you must first set the corresponding defaults for
output determination from the customer master record.

o Print parameters

One-digit, numeric key which defines the requirements on the basis of which the print
parameters are defined (see the section "Define print parameters").

o Archiving mode

This field controls whether a document is only printed, only archived or both printed
and archived.

o Archiving object type

Mickaël QUESNOT https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

7|Page
 This field identifies the archived outputs and determines whether it is an invoice,
quotation, etc. The archiving object type of the incoming document begins with SDI,
the archiving object type of the outgoing document begins with SDO.

Note

The values entered for output type, time and partner function for the detail data are automatically
transferred as default values when creating a condition record by output condition.

Recommendation

• To create a new output type, copy a similar access sequence in the system and make the
necessary changes.

• If you define your own output types, the key should begin with the letter Y or Z

Actions

1. Check to what extent you can use output types contained in the standard system and to
what extent you must change them.
2. Define output types for all SD documents.

Automatic Posting To Supplier Account (SAP-EDI)

In this activity, you set up automatic posting to supplier account for intercompany billing with SAP-EDI
direct to financial accounting.

EDI outbound processing for intercompany billing links to EDI inbound processing for invoice receipt in
FI and posting to supplier account is carried out in the selling company code.

prerequisites:

Before making the settings in Customizing you must create a supplier master record that represents the
delivering company code. This supplier master record must be created in "Selling company code".

You also need an output condition record (transaction VV31) for output type "RD04" and the customers
for intercompany billing.

Customizing settings:

1. Message type:

Message type RD04 is set for posting to supplier account in intercompany billing. (TA:V/040)

2. Message determination procedure:

Message determination procedure V40000 is valid for billing type IV.

3. Message control:

In the administration of EDI processing, a partner agreement must be defined for message control of
inbound and outbound processing, since sender and receiver data are needed. The outbound process
code is used to initiate a function module version 5 (function module version 3.0 for initiating inbound
processing).

Process code outbound: SD08.

For further information on settings for messages, see the Customizing section "messages".

b) 10 place customer number : 0000000001

Target:
Company code: 0099
Supplier : ALECRED01

Note

The logical address must contain 14 digits. If the customer number does not contain 10 digits, zeros
must be put before it.

If the logical address is not correctly maintained in table EDILOGADR, error message: " Company code
could not be determined for intermediate document XXXXX" appears.

 8. Account assignment:

You can set an indicator that determines whether account assignments are to be copied from the
customer billing document during creation of posting to supplier account in the selling company code

This affects the following account assignments:

9. Projects
10. Profit center
11. Cost center
12. Profitability segment
13. Business area

Logical address 10320000001010 is made of the supplying Company Code (1032) and the
receiving Customer (0000001010).

Note: If the receiving Customer is a numeric number, you must add zeros between the
Company code and Customer number so the Logical Address will be 14 digits.
E.g if the customer number was 1009, than the logical address would have been
10320000001009 as can be seen in the second line. (In our case the customer is an alpha

An EDI invoice with more than 949 posting items is distributed to more than one FI document.
If you only require a vendor posting, you can temporarily post the additional documents to the
specified clearing account.

• Tax code for tax-exempt items

This tax code is used for posting surcharges and reductions that affect the whole invoice, and
for posting split clearing lines.

You enter the following for transfer flags:

Calculate tax

If you select this field, the system calculates the tax. Otherwise, it uses the tax that is specified
in the EDI invoice.

• Transferred tax jurisdiction code

If the tax jurisdiction code is transferred in the EDI invoice, select this field.

• Surcharges/reductions at header level

If surcharges or reductions are transferred in the EDI invoice header, select this field so that
the surcharges or reductions can be posted at totals level (segment E1EDK05).

You enter the following for processing:

• Park document

If you select this field, the document is only parked in Accounts Payable Accounting.
Otherwise, the document is posted there.

• BDC session

If you select this field, then the system creates a batch-input sesion when you park or post
documents. Otherwise, the EDI invoice is posted directly to Accounts Payable Accounting.
Note

o If an EDI invoice creates more than 949 posting lines, then more than one FI
document is created, and regardless of this setting, the system also creates a batch-
input session. This is because the system cannot ensure that the invoice is either
posted or posted completely when more than one single document is posted.

o If you use the transfer price function, the system always posts the document directly.

Assign Company Code for EDI Incoming Invoice

Assign Company Code for EDI Incoming Invoice

Use

For each EDI partner, you assign the company code (that contains the payable to be posted) to the
name for the invoice recipient in the EDI invoice.

Technical Note

The name is read from the NAME1 field in the E1EDKA1 segment for the invoice recipient (qualifier IR)
or the sold-to party (qualifier SP).

Requirements

You do not do this IMG activity, if the company code (in which the system posts the payable from the
EDI invoice) was determined in one of the following ways:

• The company code is read from the E1EDK14 segment with qualifier 011.

• You process an intercompany transaction and have already specified a sender (from which the
company code is determined) in Sales & Distribution customizing under Billing ->Intercompany
Billing -> Automatic Posting to Vendor Account (SAP-EDI) -> Assign Vendor.

Assign G/L Accounts for EDI Procedures

Use

For each EDI partner and invoice company code (company code for the vendor), enter the G/L
account for the expense account posting or revenue posting and the company code to which the
expense account or revenue is to be assigned.

The G/L account for goods or services items is determined by the name of the good or service in the
EDI invoice. The G/L account for surcharges and price reductions is determined from the condition key
and the condition plus-minus sign (+ for surcharge, - for reduction).

If the company code for the G/L account differs from the invoice company code, then the system
creates a cross-company code posting.

Note
The leading company code is the company code from the first G/L account posting in the
document, not the company code from the vendor.

If you require additional functions to determine the G/L account and the company code, use the
following customer exit:

• Customer exit EXIT_SAPLIEDI_001

• Enhancement FEDI0001

Use

For each EDI partner, you assign the tax code defined in the SAP System to the tax type and
the tax rate determined by that partner.

You can assign these according to the country/region of the invoice recipient (the country/region
of the company code) where the supplier account is located.

• If you want to make the assignment independently of the country/region, then leave
the Country/Region field empty.

• If you want to make the assignment independently of the tax type, then enter VAT as
the tax type. The tax code is determined on the basis of the tax rate.

Caution

The tax rate determined in the IDoc is compared character by character to those in the tax rate
that you enter here.

Use

You can define the rules that should be used to perform text determination.

Prerequisites

Define text types for text objects.

Defining Access Sequences for Determining Texts

You can define access sequences to be used in a text determination procedure for the text object.
The access sequence defines how the system is to search for texts.

Mickaël QUESNOT https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

48 | P a g e
Note

• You can define access sequences only for text objects in SD documents. There is no need to
define access sequences for customer master, because texts are not copied but manually
specified by users.

In each access sequence, you need to define the sequence and search requirements.

This allows you, for example, to have the system check whether a text exists in the customer language.
If this is not the case, the system can search for a text in the sales organization's language. If this is
also unsuccessful, you can have the system carry out the search in English.

You can make the following specifications for each access sequence:

• SeqNo (sequential access number within an access sequence)

You can define the order in which the text objects of an access sequence are read. The
element with the lowest access number is read first. If an appropriate text is found, the search
ends. Otherwise, the system checks the element with the next lowest access number.

• Text object

You can define which text objects are checked by the system for an access sequence.
In the standard system, for example, in the access sequence 0001 for the text object sales
document header, the system first searches for a form header text in the preceding document
(text object VBBK) and then for a sales note in the customer master record (text object KNVV).

• ID (text type)

You can define which text type is read from the specified text object.
It is recommended that you select the same text type for the source text and target text
involved in text determination. For example, the text for the sales note for customer (text type
0001) in the customer master record should be copied to the sales note for customer (text type
0001) of a sales document.

• Partner Function

For texts copied from a customer master record, you can define which partner function is
included in the text search.

• Original language

You can specify language requirements for the text to be copied:

o All Languages

The system copies texts regardless of language.

o Language

The system copies texts available in specified language.

Mickaël QUESNOT https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

49 | P a g e
 o Partner Function Language

The system copies texts available in the language of the specified partner.
For example, if you specify the partner function of the sold-to-party, the text is only
copied if it is available in the sold-to-party's language.

o Sales Organization Language

The system copies texts available in the sales organization's language.

Note

• Existing requirements are pre-delivered by SAP and refer to copying text from preceding
documents.

• For every text type, you must maintain separate access sequences.

The text types of a text object are grouped together in text determination procedures. You assign a
text determination procedure using certain keys, for example, account group customer or sales
document type.

Defining and Assigning Text Determination Procedures

You can define text determination procedures for the text object as follows:

• You select one of the text determination procedures, then you assign text types for the
selected text determination procedure. You must set the fields of the text type in text procedure
with the relevant values.

• For text objects in SD documents, you define the access sequences and assign text types to
these access sequences. You must set the fields of the access sequence for text type with the
relevant values.

When you are editing a customer master record of the assigned account group or a sales document of
the assigned document type, the system offers the text types of the corresponding text determination
procedure.

You can also change the following settings for each text type:

• Refer/Duplicate

You can specify whether a text is duplicated or referenced. If you select this option, the text is
duplicated. Otherwise, it is referenced.
If a text is duplicated, the system creates an independent copy of the text. You can change
either the source or target text without affecting the other.
If a text is referenced, it only exists once in the database. A change in the source text triggers a
concurrent change in the target text in the subsequent document. However, the system deletes
the reference once you change the target text.

• FGrp (error group)

Mickaël QUESNOT https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickaelquesnot/

50 | P a g e
 Using the error group, you can mark texts as relevant for the incompletion log of the sales
documents. If a relevant text of this text type is missing in the sales document, a note is
included in the incompletion log.

• Text is obligatory

You can specify whether a text is mandatory, and whether the system displays the text when it
is copied (such as from the customer master record to a sales document).
Note that this setting only applies to Sales Document Header, Sales Document Item, and
Delivery Header.

Afterwards you assign the defined text determination procedures as follows:

Text Object Key

Customer master record Account group
Sales document header Sales document type
Sales document item Item category
Delivery header Delivery type
Delivery item Item category
Billing header Billing type
Billing item Billing type

Note

Currently you cannot set up your own error groups for the incompletion log for texts in customizing.

In the standard system, error group "50" is defined for texts. The incompletion log takes it into account if
the texts are additionally characterized as required in the procedure.

Requirements

You can only include text types in a procedure which you have defined beforehand.

• The account groups, document types, and item categories must already be defined. They are
then proposed to you automatically for assignment.

Actions

1. Check to what extent you can use the text determination procedures contained in the
standard system.
2. Change the existing text determination procedures according to your needs or create new
ones.
To do this, branch to the text determination procedures for a text object and display the texts in
the procedure.
3. Assign the text determination procedures.
There are two ways to do this:

o by calling up the text determination procedure assignment

Here, you can carry out the assignment for the selected text determination procedure.

Optional MM Customizing:

NOTE: This is only necessary for logistics invoice verification.

Materials Management  Logistics Invoice Verification  EDI  Enter Program

Parameters

Enter Program Parameters

In this Customizing activity, you define the control parameters for posting incoming invoices sent via
IDoc.

Enter the following parameters:

In the Posting Information group box, specify the following:

• Which document type the system is to use when an invoice is sent via IDoc

• Which document type the system is to use when a credit memo is sent via IDoc

The other settings depend on whether you want to enter invoices received via IDoc in Invoice
Verification or in Differential Invoicing (you configure this in EDI Partner Profiles).

• Logistics Invoice Verification

Define how the system reacts when there are differences between the values received via
IDoc and the values proposed by the system. Enter the following in the Logistics Invoice
Verification only area:

 Blank:
The invoice document is posted using the invoice data. If the invoice contains quantity or price
variances, the system blocks it for payment.
1:
The invoice document is entered as containing unclarified errors and saved with the values
proposed by the system and the values contained in the IDoc invoice. You have to manually
process the parked invoice document later.
2:
The invoice document is posted with the values determined by the system. The IDoc invoice is
reduced by the amount of the variance.
3:
Depending on the positive small difference configured in the supplier-specific tolerances, the
invoice document is created as follows: The system first compares the positive small difference
tolerance limit with the total of the positive variances of the invoice items in an invoice. Positive
differences arise when the invoice value transmitted via IDoc is greater than the value
proposed by the system.

o If the positive difference is smaller than the positive small difference tolerance limit,
the invoice is posted with a quantity or price variance and the system blocks it for
payment.

o If the positive difference is greater than the positive small difference tolerance limit, the
invoice is parked as containing an unclarified error and you must process it manually.

4:
The invoice document is checked against the tolerances in accordance with online processing.
You maintain the tolerance keys on a company-code-specific basis and use them to determine
which variances are checked.

Checking material numbers and units of measure

Define whether the material numbers and units of measure in the IDoc invoice are to be
compared to those in the purchase order items. Note that the invoice cannot be posted if there
are variances.
