Make item category not relevant for Cross company Invoicing

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using cross company processing in several of our sales organisations (each with their own customer & cross company pricing procedures) and we wish to make an item category (ZNFR) relevant for billing on the customer invoice only.

I have checked the forums and found this

1) The change to the userexit

'USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUP from LV50PFZA to set VBUP-FKIVP = SPACE (not relevant for interco)' is not feasible as SAP only supports the amendment of VBUP-UVP01-UVP10.

2) I have maintained the copy control for this item (item cat ZNFR delivery type LF to invoice type IV)and believe the next step is to put a requirements next to the condition type in the cross company pricing procedures stating when the item category = 'ZNFR' make the condition inactive.

Has anybody come across a similar issue or know of an alternative solution?

Thanks,

C

I've never used this exit but your problem about "USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUP_INVOICE" is not clear...

What does this mean:

SAP only supports the amendment of VBUP-UVP01-UVP10

I've checked FM "LIPS_STATUS_MAINTAIN" which calls the before mentioned user exit and I can see strucures "FXVBUP" and "FYVBUP". Structure "VBUPVB" is behind them which has "FKIVP".

It seems you could use it...

Thanks for your prompt response Csaba.

Have you ever come across this scenario before? Do you know of any other option other than this userexit?

I haven't faced such requirement in case of intercompany billing but in my opinion both solution (user exit & requirement routine in copy control) sound good (both of them are pretty simple "developments").

Csaba,

how can you set VBUP-FKIVP = SPACE via the data transfer copy control routine?

Rgds,

Conor

In the thread you pasted in your original message there were two solutions:

1) Modify VBUP-FKIVP via the user exit

2) Write a requirement routine to exclude items with certain item categories

If you are not familiar with ABAP please contact your ABAPer / technical consultant, it takes minutes to code these things.

Thanks Csaba,

I will create a pricing requirement and assign in the cross company pricing procedure to the relevant pricing condition. It is not possible to update VBUP-FKIVP via a routine in copy control.

Conor, few seconds before I changed VBUP-WBSTA in debug mode putting a breakpoint in LV50PFZA, form "USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUP" - so you can change VBUP w/o any problem.

Please UNDERSTAND that VBUP is not to be changed via a routine in copy control but via USER EXIT ("USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUP")
