1.1. Features of SAP ISU Billing & Invoicing Process
In a SAP ISU system Billing & Invoicing plays a very vital role. The Bill generation
process of the Utility is carried out in a Two Step manner as follows.
• In the first step, the current energy and demand Consumptions are processed and
calculation of billable charges based on current tariff is done with the generation of a
document containing the calculation outputs. This process is known as Billing.
• In the next step, accounting entry in the general ledger with posting of due dates,
Delay Payment Surcharge, arrears and surcharges is done for the charges obtained
from the Billing document. A Printable form is generated containing all these
information which is printed and handed over to the consumers concerned. This
process is known as the Invoicing.
