Changing partners on SD billing document

[Former Member]

Trying to find a way to change an item level partner on an SD billing document. Not trying to change SOLD-TO or SHIP-TO partners. Trying to change a custom partner function that was defined for SALES REPRESENTATIVE.

The IMG has configuration to "Set Up Partner Determination for Billing Item", The partner functions are listed and there is a checkbox labeled "Not Modifiable". The checkbox is unchecked for this custom partner function.

When using transaction VF02 to change the billing document, all of the fields on the partner screen are set for output only. Traced through the code and it looks like the partner screen is always set for display only.

Can you change partners on an existing billing document without cancelling the document, updating the original document (sales order), and recreating?

Thanks.

Hi,

Cancel the billing documents as other said.. and Uncheck the check box Not modifiable. Then only it'll work per ur req.

Hi Norman

If the Billing document is posted to Accounting(FI), then you can not change any thing except some output data.

Beacuse, you understand ,now data have been transfered to different dept and posted to different G/L accounts appropriately and not within SD.

So, if you want to change, then you have to cancel the Billing document.

Dear Norm

No you cannot change any partner function in billing. As rightly said above, you have to cancel the billing and delivery and then you can change in sale order provided, in IMG setting, for this partner function is not checked for "Not Modifiable".

Hi,

You will neither be able to change the Partners when you cancel the existing bill nor when when you reverse the relevane delivery and try creating the bill again.

You will have to come from the sales order to change any partner.
