SAP EDI Inter-Company Billing - Automatic Posting To Vendor Account

Inter-Company Billing - Automatic Posting To Vendor Account (SAP-EDI)

Automatic posting to vendor account is done by EDI. In our case where both companies
are proccessed in the same system (& client), it is sufficient to create Idoc.
This proccess requires several steps:
1. Creating a Customer to represent the receiving Company.
2. Creating a Vendor to represent the supplying company.
3. Creating a Port
4. Maintain an Output Type
5. Creating a Logical Address
6. Creating a Partner Profile for both Customer & Vendor
7. The relevant MM customizing is maintained.
8. The relevant FI customizing is maintained.


1. Creating a Customer to represent the receiving Company.
The customer has already been created (XD01) for the purpose of Intercompany
processing and entered in the approperiate transction in customizing (Sales and
Distribution à Billing à Intercompany Billing à Define Internal Customer Number By
Sales Organization).

Note: The cutomer has been created in the supplying company code.
The organizational data in this case is:
Supplying Company Code: 1180
Supplying Plant: 1180
Supplying Sales Organization: 1180
Supplying Distribution Channel: 01
Supplying Division: 00
Receiving Company Code: 3100
Customer representing the receiving Company Code: P3100

2. Creating a Vendor to represent the supplying company.
The Vendor is created with the standard transaction (XK01).
Note: The Vendor is created in the receiving Company Code. The organizational data in
this case is the same as above.

Vendor representing the supplying Company Code: P1180
NOTE: There is NO need to “connect” vendor to customer in the control screen.

3. Creating a Port
Tools à Business Communication à IDoc Basis à Idoc à Port Definition (T. Code WE21)
Maintain Transactional RFC: (Choose Transactional RFC and press the create icon).
A dialog box will open asking whether you want the system to generate an automatic
name or whether you wish to use your own name.

Port name: Automatically generated
Version: 4.x
RFC destination: PLD (This was defined by the basis people).

4. Maintain output type
