Accounting Reference number is taking contract number

[former_member315051]

My senario is Contrat -sales order-delivery-Billing.

Problem :Accounting document Reference number is taking contract number instead Billing document number

I have check the copy controls between Delivery to Billing (VTFL)

Allocation is 'C'

Reference fileld has assinged 'Blank'

Note : Some times it is taking reference as Billing document, some times contract number.

As per my knoledge this setting only accounting reference number ill depends., but why some times it changing to contract number ..

Please dont copy the previous threads, i have all ready search the forum Please

Any suggestions ......

Dear Ramesh

In VTFL, at header level, for the two fields

- Assignment Number and

- Reference number

you should maintain "E"; only then, the respective billing document reference will be passed on to FI.

Dear Lakshmipathi

Thaks for your prompt reply

But in some cases why it is taking Billing number , i have maintaine Allocation is 'C'

Reference fileld has assinged 'Blank' ,

I have check the two documents

1) one which is taking contract number and other is taking Billing document number ,

The difference i found is Reference field in sales document header , this field has been field with Contract number and in accounting document also it is conrtact number ,

2) Reference field in sales document header , this field is blank and in accounting document it is taking Billing reference

*Can any one tell me from where the reference filed is filling *

Regards

Ramesh

Hi,

If you leave it blank, system automatically takes the billing document number as a reference document.

If you want to pass you own text to FI from SD. enter text in reference field in sales order, it will pass to billing document and from there to FI. For this reference field should be blank in VTFL and in billing type also blank.

Hi,

I think contract number in reference field in sales order is filled by user manually. There is no such field in copy controls between sales document to sales document.

That field is available in only sales document to billing document and delivery to billing only.
