Billing document number missing but corresponding document number available

Hi All,

We had a strange issue where we saw in the billing process, accounting document number is available but corresponding billing document number is missing. Business is creating a invoices by batch job from past 5 years and this billing issue has happenned for the first time. Has anybody have idea what could be the issue?

Hi,

Other idea. Check if you have any enhancement in the interface SD-FI. See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting.

One check you can make. Go to FB03, key in that Account Document and execute. There you can see a field "Ref.doc". Generally, billing document reference will flow here. How about in your case ?? Also, once you press F5, a small box will appear where you can also see through which TCode, that particular billing document has been generated.

thanks

I agree with Lakshipathi.

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies.

Please note that when we checked in FB03, in the reference field the invoice number XXXXX01 is shown and that number is not available in VBRK table. Where as next subsequent billing number XXXXX02, 03 are available. Also the transaction shown as VF04 in FB03 so the accounting document is definately related to SD invoice.

Further when we checked SM13 there is no updation error message found.

Can anyone please update if you have come a cross similar situation?

Regards,

Check billing doc. number range in SNRO or Check SQL trace what might have happened in batch job with help of basis consultant or Check orginal billing document from accounting document FB03 or Check document flow of invoice document ?

Check for any update terminations in SM13. It is extremely strange though that acounting document exists without a billing document. Are you sure you have checked everything and are looking at the right documents?

If no explanation can be found, I'd submit a message to SAP since this kind of compromises the database integrity.
