SAP Convergent Invoicing

SAP Convergent Invoicing (CI) gives you the power to create, post, and send convergent invoices. Whether dealing with complex data or large volumes, CI enables automated, efficient, and flexible billing.

As a central component of SAP Billing and Revenue Innovation Management (SAP BRIM), CI is the heart of your invoicing.

Whether you bill your customer for a one-time product, create individual and complex billing plans, calculate and manage revenue shares for third-party providers, or consolidate billing data from different sources (SAP or non-SAP systems) – with CI you ensure seamless and consistent processing.

In SAP Convergent Invoicing, every invoice item can be fully traced back to the underlying individual and consumption data – ensuring maximum transparency and accountability.
