services that are to be subject to stage payments such as construction projects and building
projects.

intervals. Ex : Vehicle leasing ( payments monthly) , Ground lease

Main advantage of invoicing plan is Automatic Settlement Option to generate invoices in background
on the relevant dates.
It is necessary to enter the valid start date, but it is not necessary to enter validity end date you can

Path : Material Management —-> LIV —-> automatic settlement —-> MRIS -invoicing plan
settlement.
SPRO –> Material Management –> Logistics Invoice Verification –> Incoming Invoice –> Number
Assignment –> Maintain Number Assignment for Logistics Documents –> Transaction – Assign

3)Once the Invoice is posted, the settlement documents are sent to vendor automatically in print,
email or fax form. The below mentioned Message Determination configuration is required for this
action.

For assigning smart form to out put type INS, SPRO –> Material Management –> Logistics – Invoice

detailed data dependent on the account assignment category, such as the specification of the cost
center in the case of account assignment category K, can be changed at any time.
2) The invoicing plan settlement run can be carried out either online or in the back ground.
