Expense Settlement Document

Definition

Agency business document used to settlement expenses with a customer.

The expense settlement document is defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as an SAP Business Object (type: BUS2144002). For more information, see Business Objects, BAPIs, ALE Interfaces in Agency Business.

Use

You can create an expense settlement document without a reference to a previous business transaction, meaning a preceding document (in particular, customer invoice). The expense settlement document on the customer’s side is the composite document to the vendor billing document on the vendor side.

Expense settlement documents are not include when data is updated for subsequent settlement or when calculating a bonus. Pricing schemas and conditions must be created in Sales and Distribution.

You can also generate expense settlement documents in SAP Global Trade. For more information, see Trading Expenses in SAP Global Trade.

• Remuneration lists
• Accounting documents

• Documents for Cash Management

On the Accounting details screen, you can display a list of the accounting documents and profitability analysis documents.

On the Document Flow details screen, you can display the follow-on documents that are created (see Display Document Flow).
