Billing Issue

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are running VF01 to bill a delivery document. The system is giving a billing number when saving after completion of the transaction. But when trying to edit this document the system says the number does not exist.

In VF01 we are getting this message: "Document xxxxxxxxx has been saved"

Now in VF02 when trying to edit the document we have the message below (details):

"Billing document xxxxxxxxx does not exist

Message no. VF041

Diagnosis

The billing document you specified does not exist.

This document was possibly archived."

The billing numbers generated are incremented any time you are billing the same delivery. The strange remark is that system is allowing billing of the same delivery many time and is keeping on generating incremental billing number which we can't edit because does not exist.

Please help on this issue

hello, friend.

we encountered this problem before. aside from finding the message "update terminated", you might want to try looking at your billing document number ranges. in our experience, the number ranges account for 90% of the problem.

after you check the billing document number ranges, you have to coordinate with your FI consultant and synchronize the number ranges of the billing document and the accounting document.

hope this helps.

regards.

The billing document number is generated but the record is not stored in the database tables like VBRK, VBRP etc. Hence, you are not able to view the billing document number. You might have received a mail in your SAP inbox with "update terminated" kind of message.

My guess is you might be using userexit for passing data to accounting from billing document and got to do with the code in the exit.
