Hello Reazuddin,

The business reqmt is to have TAD as order related.

Hence in view of the above you have suggested to achieve this by copy control.Could ou please elaborate on the steps please.

Thanks

Hi Chandra,

Can you confirm whether this DIEN- Service material is delivery related or order related billing as per your business requirement.

- If you want to create billing along with TAN item, then set the TAD as delivery relevant billing & Price relevance. in VOV7 settings,

- Determine Schedule line category as "CT - no inventory mangament", so that you can dispatach service material without any PGI/ accounting documnet.

- Maintain relevant copy controls from Delivery - Billing @ TAD item level.

- Now you will be able to create Billing for TAN & TAD.

Hello Sir,

The DIEN material is Order related Billing.

Thanks

Does business have any implications if they create Delivery related billing for DIEN material ( its dummy delivery for service confirmatioin. No PGI document hence no accounting impact). So that they can create DIEN billing along with TAN item.

sitll if business insists to create order related billing for DIEN, make the proper settins in copy control, so that you can create billing for these 2 items ( TAN - Delivery related & DIEN order related billing). Invoice split criterial plays key role to create single billing.

Play with copy control. You can achieve this requirement in std SAP wihtou any enhancement.

Hello Reazuddin,

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

I have tried the same in development client by making the settings as suggested by you.

But I was not able to see the dien material in the delivery.

Please let me know where I have gone wrong.

Thanks once again.

- Check the TAD item category - should be relevant for schedule lines- VOV7

- Determine "CT"- No Inventory as schedule line category - VOV5

Hello Reazuddin,

I have tried again.

The error message in the delivery log is that - Item Category is not defined.

Is it for this delivery type I will have to assign TAD also?

Pls let me know

[reazuddin_md]

Yes,

Delivery item category determination is missing in Customization .

tx: 0184 - Determine deliery item category

Delivery type + item cat group = Delivery item category

eg: Lf+DIEN = TAD

Copy control;

Tx: VTLA

OR - LF @ Item leve TAD

..................................

The reqmt was as above.

I had done as suggested by Reazuddin.

It worked fine.

But the Business reqmt is TAD - Order Related only and not to be changed to Delivery related.

Hence in view of the above I wanted the config steps.

Await your information.

Thanks

In Std system settings, System settings, it will not allow to create single invoice by combining order related & delivery related items. To achieve this you have to fine tune copy control settings, but i dont think its feasible solution. just because of this one requirement changing the control , instead for this requirement if you can have seperate document types, then hope you can achieve this.

Play with copy control settings in invoice split criteria, copying requirements & reference number.

For initial testing, Maintain the above fields as blank & run a test cycle.

Update the results in forum.
