Using FI-CA and FI-AR within one S/4 HANA instance

[desaitrishul]

Dear community members,

My client is exploring to use FI-AR and FI-CA in parallel within one S/4 HANA instance. For pure physical products sale they wanted to use SD based ordering/ billing and posting into FI-AR and for Subscription based bundles they wanted to use Subscription order - Convergent Invoicing and FI-CA. Is it possible? what are some of the considerations?

Thanks

Hi Trishul.

There is an integration in S/4HANA where you can perform a so-called "external billing" in Convergent Invoicing, which creates EBDR (external billing document request) for Sales Billing. Please check SAP Help: Omnichannel Convergent Billing; External Invoicing.

Please be aware, that you cannot use the fancy CI invoice functions in this case. I agree with William Eastman to use FI-CA. Posting from SD directly to FI-CA or transfer SD Billing Docs to CI is not a big deal.

Regards,

Sascha
