#CoE#GZHX Batch Operation in Change Billing Documents APP

[JuliaLu]

When performing the "Release to Accounting" action in the Change Billing Documents (VF02) app, the AR accountant can only process one billing document at a time. Customer business users would like to be able to release multiple billing documents to accounting in a single, batch operation. Manage Billing Documents APP can do the batch operation for standard format billing documents. Do we have other best practice or workaround? Thank you very much.

Hi Julia,

Please consider following Available Options:

Option 1: Manage Billing Documents App Enhancement

• Currently works only for standard format billing documents
• May require document format standardization or configuration adjustments
• Limited by current SAP standard functionality scope

Implementation Steps

• Review current billing document formats and identify which can be processed through the standard app
• Configure automatic posting settings in "Create Billing Documents" app to enable batch processing
• Establish user access and training for the Manage Billing Documents app workflow

Option 2: API-Based Custom Solution

• Technical Approach Leverage the API_BILLING_DOCUMENT_SRV service which supports batch operations for billing document processing
• Develop custom Fiori app or integration solution using OData batch requests
• Similar approach used successfully for mass PDF downloads can be adapted for release operations

Option 3: Process Automation Solutions

Dear @JuliaLu,

As mentioned in SAP S/4 HANA public cloud we can use the "Manage Billing document" Firoi app to post multiple billing documents to Accounting using the post option in the app.
We can also schedule a backround job for posting the billing documents in the background daily or weekly using the "Schedule Billing Release" Fiori app.

Hope this helps!!!

Best Regards,
Surya.

• Please add a tag such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition (or the correct one)
• Did you already  look in your version for something like F0797 Manage Billing Documents

[JuliaLu]

Added Tag SAP S4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The customer and partner explained that F0797 Manage Billing Documents can do batch operation for standard format billing documents. The customer and partner appreciate to find a workaround to also support to do batch operation for customized billing documents.
