Creating invoices through a batch job

Hi there,

I know I'm getting down to basics here but it only crossed my mind today after working on SD for 6 years.

We have a billing scenario where we would like the creation of invoice to happen via a batch job. My question is is there a way to tell if I want a collective or individual billing document. I know we can change copy controls to achieve this but it really doesn't make sense to change configuration for a batch job.

Say for a billing document type Z1 and sales order Z2, I should be able to set up batch job to create collective billing for one customer and individual billing for another. I don't know if there is a way to do it but at the moment it makes me really sad that this scenario has not been covered unless there is something that I'm not aware of.

Thanks

Swetha
