billings documents?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / navneet
Financial Accounting must be able to recognize that certain
billing documents belong to one business transaction. These
documents are combined for this purpose.
*the reference number in the accounting document header
*the allocation number in the customer line item
The reference number can be the number of the business
transaction at the customer or the purchase order number.
This number can be used as search criteria for changing or
displaying the accounting document. You can print the
reference number instead of the accounting document number
in all business correspondence.
The allocation number provides additional information in
the customer line item of the accounting document. The
account line items are sorted and displayed according to
the allocation number.
A: customer’s purchase order number
B: sales order number
C: delivery number
D: external delivery number
E: billing document number of the invoice
F: external delivery number if available or, if not, the
delivery number (used mainly in the component supply
industry)

The reference number is a piece of additional information
forwarded from SD and FI.
Ex: Customer purchase order, Sales order number, Delivery
number, External delivery number, and Current invoice
number.
If you do not make an entry and the field is not filled in
the order, the billing number is adopted automatically.
Allocation number []: You can find the allocation number
under additional information in the (document) line
item that is forwarded from SD to FI.
Ex: Customer purchase order, Sales order number, Delivery
number, External delivery number, and Actual invoice
number.
If you do not make an entry and the field is not filled in
the order, the field remains empty.

We use the Reference (sales order document no:ex:9999) to do the billing document for that particular sales document type(Ex:OR).With reference to that only the invoice(f2) is going to raise and then billing document number,then all the financial postings are going to take place,such as the credit to the concerned customer will happen.
