Assignment field in Invoice to populate the invoice number SAP SD

[Former Member]

We have "Assignment" field in Invoice. This field is to be populated with the invoice number for accounting purpose. I have made the copy control " Assignment" as blank. In the help document it is mentioned as "If the field in VTFA is maintained as E the invoice number is placed in the field of assignment automatically.

It so happens that some times it field is populated with invoice number and some times not. Can you tell me what is the problem? Plrase help.

If you can sugggest any SAP note it would be helpful.

Hi,

Go to VOFA and maintain the allocation field as "E" for the respective billing type.

Also maintain the allocation field as "E" for VTFL and VTFA transaction.

Hope this will resolve your issue.

The above is correct. But are u creating billing from Sals order or Delivery.

If u do billing after delivery then maintain "E" in VTFL.

then it should work
