[Former Member]

Hi,

Hello,

There are some settings for Billing Plans in SPRO. Check those.

In Normal case, the item categroy for the billing plan item will be of order related billing.

You need to check the item category determination (SPRO --> SD --> Sales Documents --> Item --> Assign item categories). The item categroy in a sales document is determined by the sales document type + Item categroy Group (Material Master) and the higher level item categroy.

Hello,

Do you have the copying control setup between the Billing plan order and the Down payment billing type? (BP --> FAZ). If not, then setup the same with relevent item categories.

Hi Raj

I think copy control should be OR to FAZ (Billing doc from Sales document ).

IMG > SD > Billing > Copy control for Billing document > Billing document type from Sales document Type.

Check your Item category in the Sale order, it must be TAO.

Correct Billing plan type must be assigned in the Item category.

Billing relevance must be "I" in the Item category.

Hi,

You should maintain billing plan type and billing relevance indicator 'I' in Item category.

Check the entries in OVBJ t.code billing rule, Billing block and Billing type.

If you maintain billing block here. In sales order you get default billing block for your billing date.

Maintain following copy controls between Sales document type and Billing type in VTFA t.code

Header details

Copying requirements 001

copy item number

Item category details

Copying requirements 020

Billing quantity A

Pricing type G

Pos/Neg +

Hi,

How did you maintain billing dates in Sales order?

Remove the billing block for that Billing date in sales order.

Goto VF01 and enter sales order number, click on selection date (Shift F7). Enter billing date and press enter.

Dear Venky,

To get System error log:

T. Code: VF01

Key-in Document No. and Billing Type and Execute (F8).

System will throw error - Incorrect.

At the same time, go to "Edit --> Log"

Now, whatever information is given by System in new window, Paste that in to your thread.

Then only, appropriate solution could be provided; else this hit and trail will go on and on...

Best Regards,

Amit.

Note: What Billing Rule has been maintained? Is it 4 or 5?

Also, for item Category - TAO in VOV7, check field entries for

1. Billing Plan type (01)

2. Billing Relevance (I)

Hi Amit,

system Error is "Item category TA TAN cannot be invoiced with billing type FAZ"

i maintained Billing Rule is 01.

How system Determines TAO item category...

Dear Venky,

Check with: MM02

for the material that have been used in Sales Order. I think, it has been maintained as "TAN" instead of "TAO" (in field: Item category group in Tab: Sales:Sales org 2)

Also, I think Billing rule must be either 4 or 5 (one of them is value-based and anothe one is %) and not 1. Please check with other Elite Members.

Best Regards,

Amit

Note:

1. Once, maintained Item Category as "TAO" in T. Code: MM02, go to:

T. Code: VTFA

Select your Order-to-billing Control Combination (Say, BillinG Type: ZAF and Order Type: OR) then from left hand side, select ITEM

Now, From Item Category List, select TAO and double-click.

Maintained following entries in to Fields:

Copying requirements 020 Down pymnt req.´item

Data VBRK/VBRP 000

Billing quantity A

Pos./neg. quantity +

Pricing type G

Similarly in Header (from left hand side)

Maintain:

Copying requirements 001 Header/order-related

2. Moreover, Please check "Billing type" assigned for "Order-related-billing" in to your Sales Doc type (Say, OR) in T. Code: VOV8

3. Is WBS element is being activated in your Sales Order (in Header Data --> Tab: Account Assignment)?
