SAP FICO IDoc Interface: Billing to Accounting

Billing transactions in the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component result in billing data being sent to Accounting.

Goods sold on credit result in revenues, which are posted to billing and transferred to Accounting.

Posted revenues and sales deductions update to the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) application component.

Data Transfer from Billing in an External System

The SAP R/3 Accounting components can accept data from billing transactions made in external sales and distribution systems. The inbound IDoc ACLREC01 from the RW interface is used for this purpose (refer to IDoc Interfaces for Data Transfer to the RW Interface).

You can update billing data to the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) application component. For more information, see the IDoc Interface Between an External Billing System and Accounting with Update in Profitability Analysis documentation in the R/3 Library (under Controlling ® Profitablility Analysis ® Actual Postings).

BODs

IDoc ACLREC01 fulfills the Open Application Group (OAG) communication structure for the Business Object Documents (BODs) Load Receivable (billing) and Confirm for the transfer of a billing document from an external system. The inbound IDoc in Accounting can be provided with data through the BODs.

Preconditions and Requirements

Synchronisation of the outbound and inbound systems is mandatory; the same account assignment objects must exist in both systems during the data transfer.
