external billing with NO_MARA

[former_member114335]

Billing is being created in an external system. We need to load billing data to SAP, create invoices, track AR, and collect CASH. We need to do the Billing to Cash part of the Order to Cash process in SAP. We found the BAPI used in the General Billing interface. We need to load the prices from external and we want to not maintain any sales materials in the SAP system. We are using BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE with the NO_MARA selected. We use CONDITIONDATAIN to transfer the item price. We can create a document but the price is always 0.00. I suspect CONDITIONDATAIN should use something other than PR00 since we are entering the material and price from external.

Issue is resolved. We needed to copy a default pricing condition for PR00 in OVKK from Sales Org 0001 to our Sales Org of 0010. Once this was completed the FX document is created with price from the file. Interface needed a pricing procedure even though it took the price from the file.

If a material is billed for which a material master needs to be

determined (BILLING_DATA_IN-NO_MATMAST = ' '), you must make the

following entries :

BILLING_DATA_IN-PLANT

BILLING_DATA_IN-MATERIAL

If, on the other hand, a material is billed for which no material

master is to be determined (BILLING_DATA_IN_NO_MATMAST = 'X'), you

must make the following entries :

BILLING_DATA_IN-COUNTRY

BILLING_DATA_IN-MATERIAL

BILLING_DATA_IN-TAXCL_1MAT

We are using BILLING_DATA_IN_NO_MATMAST = 'X' and the fields are set as indicated.

BILLING_DATA_IN-COUNTRY = US

BILLING_DATA_IN-MATERIAL = 9998887 <-made up number

BILLING_DATA_IN-TAXCL_1MAT = 1

No changes from previous and still same result of 0.00 net value in header of doc and on line item net value. Issue appears to be elsewhere or in addition to these fields.

This link indicates it might be the billing relevance of the item category.

Was using item category TAN which has FKREL set to A (Delivery-related Billing Document). Is there a specific item category that should be used in VTFF (Copying Control for Billing Documents) for the FX doc when trying to load data with the NO_MARA option?
