More than 999 lines in billing document

[Mrinal_K_Roy]

Hi,

It is a limitation for quite some time in standard SAP not to have more than 999 lines in billing document. Is there any SAP standard solution for this .I searched OSS notes and ths forum , but did not get any suitable note / solution on this .

It will be very good , if someone gives some input on solution to this alighed to std SAP.

With regards,

Hi Mrinal,

The restriction is from the FI side.

The accounting document has the item field (BSEG-BUZEI) three digits

long.

So it is not phisically possible to have more then 999 items in the

accounting document.

If the SD invoice has many items, or few items with many conditions

each, then there is the risk to pass more than 999 lines to FI causing

the message F5727.

The note 36353 explains the customizing to summarize the lines, so that

more lines having the same fields (except amount fields) are put in a

single BSEG records. Of course the amounts are summed.

By transaction OBCY (reference procedure VBRK for SD invoices), if you

set '' '' then you get this summarization.

If you specify some fields (example MATNR), then these fields are

not passed to FI, so that they cannot cause split. In this way you

can have an higher summarization effect.

As consequence this information is lost (BSEG-MATNR will be empty).

Please review the note 36353.

I hope the information is helpful.

Hi Raghavendra,

Summarisation is NOT feasible in our business case as we have

Activity type

Cost element

Cost center

Object number of original cost object

as characteristics with 'No summarisation' in the relevant DIP profile .

Should we then split in multiple billing document based on some parameters or create multiple billing in a period through specific development .Request for the best alternative / approach.

Hi,

Then the only option is to split.
