Billing Block & Invoice Creation

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need a clarification on the usage of billing block at the sales order level, i have a sales order with a billing block, however it was found that the invoice was created at a later point of time after the billing block is made. ( order created, billing block added at the header level, delivery, PGI & Invoice), how is this possible???.

I am getting the error if i assign a billing block at the delivery level, but the same is not happening for an order related billing block.

where exactly is the control available, is this at copy control level??

thanks & Regards

Hi Ilango,

yes, the check on billing block is performed in copy requirement routine.

See for example the standard routine 001:

IF VBAK-FAKSK NE SPACE.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM TVFSP WHERE FAKSP = VBAK-FAKSK

AND FKART = TVFK-FKART.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

PERFORM VBFS_HINZUFUEGEN USING '000000' '014' SPACE SPACE SPACE.

SY-SUBRC = 4.

EXIT.

If there is a billing block in VBAK-FKASK the system checks if this lock is relevant for billing type in table TVFSP.

If it is, then the billing creation is stopped.

Please check if the lock you are using is correctly maintained in TVFSP, and if the requirement routine does the check.

Best regards,

Ivano.

Hi,

if the problem is reproducible you could put a breakpoint in the routine, and run VF01.

If it is not reproducible I'm afraid it is not possible to discover what happened.

Best regards,

Ivano.
