How SAP Intercompany Billing Works

SAP Intercompany Billing works by creating a central repository for all intercompany transactions. This repository can be accessed by all of the company's business units, regardless of their location.

When a business unit makes a sale to another business unit, it creates an intercompany sales order. This order is then automatically transmitted to the receiving business unit. The receiving business unit then creates a delivery document and a goods receipt posting.

Once the goods have been received, the receiving business unit creates an intercompany invoice and sends it to the selling business unit. The selling business unit then posts the invoice to its accounts receivable system.

SAP Intercompany Billing can be used to automate all of the steps in the intercompany billing process, from creating the sales order to posting the invoice. This can help businesses to significantly reduce the time and effort required to process intercompany transactions.
