Accrue invoices to be billed

[EtienneJacquet]

Hello everyones, 

Do you know if there is any process to accrue invoices to be issued?

The business need is:
 1. Create a Sales Orders
 2. Create the deliveries and Good Issues
 3. Accrue the deliveries not invoiced yet as "Invoices to be issued".
 4. reverse the accrual
 5. Post the invoice

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Etienne

Take a look at scope item 1K2 (or whichever Revenue Recognition scope item best fits your sales scenario). This allows you to make exactly the accrual postings that you require at point of goods issue to delivery and again on billing (with a month end process to clean up any issues). This should do exactly what you describe in your requirement.

It is active as standard in starter systems etc (take a look at all the accounting documents posted on GI and/or billing and you may be surprised to find it there already?)

It is as month-end entry process.

My approach is also to invoice immediately after delivery but for some reason, there are still open deliveries not invoiced at month end (for example, customer is invoiced every 3 months).

Is this envisioned as a month-end entry process or one that is invoked on a transactional basis? What is preventing them from invoicing immediately after delivery to eliminate the need for this?
