annaore Presoting Overviow Pre sorting Overview 2Votes Presorting key 0002 has been used by most of us while defining our schema in the Billing master data. Most of us do know what a presorting key does but still we continue to use 0002 most of the times. The idea of this post is to show how a different presorting key can affect the display of the line items in an invoice, in other words the use of the appropriate presorting key should depend on the business requirements. More on this can be found here. First what a presorting key does? It groups together line items that are written by variants with the same presorting key into one block. The blocks are then sorted based on the presorting key and processed for invoicing, So presorting keys are used for sorting the billing items before printing. We can have a tax line items also generated and also have a subtotal as output (based on the configuration) and we use them in billing schema. At least one block (generated by the presorting key) should have subtotal as output because this is essential for bill print. If you do not want to output the subtotals, you must deactivate the posting-relevant in the billing schema for the basic billing lines. The billing simply generates the comparison or information bill lines. If the subtotal is suppressed for posting-relevant billing lines, an invoicing error would occur Difference for tax clearing too large. This is because the suppressed VAT does not match the tax that was posted. You can calculate a subtotal for information lines to output the tax too. ‘The configuration settings can be found here.

We see additional line of ‘SUBT’ cause of the unchecked checkbox for NS’, (Check the customizing screenshot). For IQUANT line item with presorting key 0005 we can see that the sorting has been done based on the devices. No subtotal in this case has the checkbox had been checked. Point to note is that the sorting happens 1. Based on the presorting key ie. 0002 sorting happens before 0005. Groups are created with the same presort key. These groups are listed alphabetically in the print document. 2. The sorting also takes care of the order in which the object is coming i 910.Device 10004200 is before 10004201. Groups are created within a presort key, according to VAT code. The VAT codes are listed alphabetically in the print document. Billing lines without a VAT code are listed at the start of a bill group. After each bill group, the VAT is calculated for the whole group and listed at the end. 1G & [Simatte ot) GO A B (boc thes (Hae Decuerts | GePostng Decurants (EFL) Eel) Sle 1S fea) (Oa) ET) nek. une ramtype contact pres.
