It is at this point that I would expect the system to select output type RD04.is it suppose to generate at the same time that I execute the billing document . but it is still selecting RD00 so it does not seem to be recognizing the configuration I have set for IV. with a few customizations along the way. I am clearly missing something but I'm not sure what. There seems to be a gap in what you are trying to achieve and the functionality for which the intercompany process is used.

In the business scenario you have described.SAP Community Network Forums: Intercompany Billing Configuration . In such a scenario intercompany sales might not be the SAP solution that fits the business process. Goods are delivered to the customer from P2. Or if you are indeed doing intercompany business process then a delivery will have to be created inorder to trigger the intercompany invoice. there is no mention of a delivery.sdn. This time SAP will by default select invoice type IV and create the intercompany invoice.. Plants P1 and P2 belong to two different company codes in SAP (hence the name intercompany). say P2 (which is attached to sales organization S2). This creates a customer invoice (this invoice is sent to the customer) In the next step the intercompany invoice is created. Delivering company code C2 Two Sales organizations – Ordering Sales organization S1. this is not required as the supplying plant belongs to the same company (but to a different company code)..sap.com/thread. 4 of 10 1/27/12 5:17 AM . In the sales order overwrite the plant to P2 (this will be the delivering plant) 2) Create Delivery and post good issue as usual 3) Create invoice with reference to the delivery. The above 4 steps will work assuming all the relevant customizing settings are correct.jspa?threadID=1718336 In such a case S1 ships the goods from another plant. 4) Once again create an invoice (using VF01) with reference to the delivery created in step 2. the invoice is directly created from the sales order. Delivering sales organization S2 Two plants – Ordering plant P1. Delivering plant P2 1) Sales order Create the sales order the usual way. S1 raises an invoice to the customer S2 raises an intercompany invoice (document type IV in SAP) for S1 as its internal customer Following steps describe how this works in SAP Intercompany sales processing consists of the following three stages: • Processing sales orders • Processing deliveries • Billing Following SAP elements are involved – Two company codes – Ordering Company code C1. I also noticed in your first post that you have created a vendor to represent the supplying company. http://forums. com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/dd/5614e7545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/dd/561542545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.jspa?threadID=1718336 Given below are some links from SAP help on intercompany – http://help.
