Accounting document not cleared when billing document is cancelled.

[Former Member]

Hi,

In ECC 6.0 when we cancel a billing document through vf11 in vfo3 we find the status as accounting document not cleared.

The general process is manually going to f-23 and clear customer line items of that invoice. After doing this the status become accounting documet is cleared.

My requirement is how to cancel the billing document without getting this message (accounting document not cleared) and not clearing the customer line items manually.

Can it be done through user exit/enhancement or by copying requirement vofm.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi

Ask FI guy to reverse the accounting and later you do cancel the invoice

They do not want to do it manually.

They directly want the accounting document to be cleared when billing document is cancelled.

We need to look for user exit/badi to perform such accounting document clearing.

The customer account maintainene has to be done by FI guys. The Accounting entry is generated because of an event in SD module. It is a standard system design. You need to clear it manually through Transaction F-32 or through GBulk clearing by F.13 It is more of consulting issue

Though you can achieve this with the help of ABAPer, why dont you consider having a Posting block for your billing type so that as and when the billing documents are generated, you can release it via VFX3 in bulk or VF02 for individual billing document release to FI.

In order to achieve this, go to VOFA, select your billing type and execute. There you can see a field "Posting block" where maintain a tick there and save. With this control, first of all, you can ensure that before releasing F2 billing documents to FI, it is not cancelled.
