Processing Types Supported by SAP Self-Billing Cockpit
For the self-billing process, different countries/regions have different legal requirements, which can be broadly summarized into two major different procedures. SAP Self-Billing Cockpit covers these two different processing scenarios with two applications: Self-Billing with Automatic Posting (SBWAP) and Self-Billing with Invoice Creation (SBINV). How the data are processed depends on which country/region the supplier operates in.
SBWAP vs. SBINV
| Self-Billing with Automatic Posting (SBWAP) | Self-Billing with Invoice Creation (SBINV) |
|---|---|
| SBWAP is applied when an internal billing document is created with goods issue. This is usually the case in Germany, France, and other countries. | SBINV is applied in countries/regions where legal authorities request suppliers as part of a self-billing process to create billing documents that are identical with the self-billing documents received from the buyer. In this scenario, the supplier can create the final billing documents only after receiving the self-billing documents from the buyer. SBINV is usually applied in countries/regions like Spain, Portugal, and Czech Republic. |
