Billing split due to different header data

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a question about billing split and want to seek your help.

There are 2 deliveries with same Ship-to, and already set to "bill by Ship-to" in customer master data, but system still split them into 2 billing document, I checked in Split Analysi, it says: Split due to different header data.

Can somebody enlighten me how to find out what's the cause of the split?

BTW, the field name in Split Analysis is "Combination criteria in the bi", it seems it's not a complete sentence, how can I see the complete description of field name?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Collectvie Billing should have the following criteria.

1. Billing type should be similar

2. Billing date should be same

3. Bill to party should be same

Otherwise Invoice will be splitted automatically.

Hi Gurus,

Thank you all for replying my question.

I checked VBRK-ZUKRI, and found the information for these 2 billing document is "700+delivery note number", and 700 in VTFL is "Inv.Split (Rec/Div)".

Then I checked the header information for delivery notes of these 2 billing document, they are almost the same (same Payer, same plant, same material, same payment term). The only difference is the delivery date, and one has Planned GI but another is blank.

So I still can't understand why system split them. Could someone give me more hints?

Thanks.

Hi ,

Please refer the split Analyis in the billing document (VF02) from the menu. This will give you the fields which are

responsible for the split. In addition to that please refer the note-11162 which will give you the reasons for split.

Hi,

Billing split is done:

Payer

Inco term

Payment term

Actual GI Date from Delivery

Shipping Condition

Account Assignment Group

Exchange rate

different item categories in a sales order ,

different billing document type,

Different referencing document types

Also check your copy control settings in tcode VTFA &, VTFL

Hi there,

What do you mean by " set to "bill by Ship-to" in customer master data,"?

In customer master, did you maintain the same name in Bill-to as Ship-to? Check in sales order header partners if ship-to & bill-to are the same. if not, then in copy controls at item level field Data VBRK/VBRP you will have to maintain this logic.

System will allow invoice combination only if billing header data - bill-to, billing date, payment terms etc are same. Check in your orders if all these data is same.
