Manual outsort of a billing document

Hi experts,

Could you tell me if it is possible to manually outsort a billing document?

By "manually" I mean out of the billing execution.

The need is the following:

When a billing document is outsorted during billing execution, customer has to release it after some checks.

If they consider that the billing document is correct they release it using EA05.

Release in EA05 simply sends an event that triggers a workflow (this is standard SAP behaviour).

This workflow calls a Z function dedicated to create an MMR idoc.

Sometimes, the Z function doesn't have enough information to create the MMR idoc.

=> in this case we need to outsort the billing document again (and log a message in the billing log).

Thanks for your help

Regards

Hi

There is no such a standard FM or process.

You could write your own code which code update the entry in ERCHO for that billing document and also the not released field in ERCH.

Another solution would be to reverse that billing document - there are standard FM / methods which can do this. Then in the next billing run the new document for the same contract will be outsorted again - however you would miss out the information that was already outsorted.

Phillippe:

You might consider modelling this process using BPEM cases.
