Hi All,

Hi,

It will create two entries in VBKD table.

One is for Header and other one is for line item.

In the invoice,it is picking the payment term from item level.

may i know why the payment terms is different

It could be due to some manual changes made in sale order at item level which is fetching to invoice also. Check in change log of that sale order.

Standard process is that when you create a sale order, header data would be copied to item level data also.

HI,

Please review SAP note 38934 which may help to explain this issue.

If you do not have VBKD data for a particular line item, it is the same

as the header (vbkd-posnr = 000000). This is standard behaviour.

so if you have a vbkd line item, that simply means some part of the business data is different to the header

and that's why the line item for VBKD was created (in this case a different payment terms has been entered for the line item)

For the second part of the issue, please start at trx VTFA and check the copy control (especially at line item level).

kind regards
