Vendor Billing Document

Definition

Payment document in Agency Business for entering remuneration requests without referring to previous business transactions in Purchasing.

A special feature of this document type is that no preceding documents are required in the system to facilitate generation. However, follow-on documents can be generated from this document type.

The vendor billing document (single remuneration request) is defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as an SAP Business Object (type: BUS2126001). For more information, see Business Objects, BAPIs, ALE Interfaces in Agency Business.

Use

You use this document to handle all ad-hoc remunerations and charges made to the vendor. In del credere business, this allows you to separate del credere payables from those resulting from purchases.

Depending on your system settings, you can post this document to either balance sheet accounts or clearing accounts.

Integration

You can create the following follow-on documents from vendor billing documents:

• Remuneration lists
• Accounting documents
• Profitability analysis documents
• Documents for Cash Management

You can create a vendor billing document as a partner billing document for single settlement request in order to, for example, a pay a second payee. The system transfers the partner billing document and the single settlement request to Financial Accounting at the same time.

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

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