Billing document splitting problem for Sales Orders

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Sales orders SO1 and SO2 are created in System 1.

Corresponding Billing documents are generated via scheduled job of program RV60SBAT.

For SO1 and SO2, corresponding individual Billing documents BD1 and BD2 are generated. This is our desired behavior.

But, when same Scenario is executed in system 2, it is creating Billing document 1 combined for both SO1 and SO2.

We have checked the configuration of routine for billing type and sales type in both the systems and are in sync.

Please suggest what other points need to be checked for this.

Thanks.

Hello Tejas,

the SAP note [1561427|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1561427] explains when there is a billing split.

In the system 1 (where split occurs), please run VF03, insert BD1, then select menu Environment > Split analysis, insert BD2.

The system will show you why BD1 and BD2 are splitted, that is which fields or header partners are different.

Then check in system 2 why those fields are not differetn in the billing document.

Best regards,

Ivano.

Thanks Ivano,

Resolved. Checked Split Analysis in system 1.

PO Number , SO Number and Reference Document number was the splitting criteria. This led us to find out that in the System 2, against the Billing document in the Reference document number field was mapped with billing document number instead of Purchase order.

This was corrected by changing configuration in VTFA.

Thanks for the input.

Did they got created on the same date? There are many parameters like payment terms, price groups etc which can split the order into 2 billing documents for the same date.

You can always check in the split analysis as suggested to check why it splitted. You can use field VBRK-ZUKRI.

Hi,

pleaes check the below settings and compare between system 1 and System for whether identical or not.

1. Payment Method SO1 and SO2 (Field : VBKD - ZLSCH). If the payment methods are different then this causes invoice Split.

2.In the configuration check for the setting in the copy controls at the item level - Data VBRK/VBRP : Data Transfer Routine 003 (Single invoice). If this setting is maintained then this causes involce split.

3.Check the Header partners - Sold to, Bill to and Payer. If any one of them is different in SO1 and SO2, then this causes invoice Split.

4.Check for the Header fields in the invoice like Payment terms, etc... if they are different then it causes invoice Split. Note that not all the header fields are visible in the Invoice screen and hence check at the table level.

5.Before checking above points, go to VF03 transaction --> Envinorment --> Split analysis and enter the billing document number with which comparision has to be made to identify the split reasons.
