Invoice Cancellation for > 1000 Line items

[Former Member]

Hello All,

There is a sales document with more than 1000 lines. For the same the billing document invoice was generated. Now the customer wants to cancel the billing document but is unable to because the processing time is greater that 10 min (max time for processing). He is thus facing a time out error.

We are trying to create a background job through VF06 transaction but am unable to do so. Please suggest what are the alternatives for cancelling the document >1000 line items and how can that be done in SAP. Please note that we are not allowed to increase the processing time for the foreground job.

Request for urgent help.

Hi,

Also try whether using transaction OBYC and note 36353.

Hi,

Refer to Note 36353 - AC interface: Summarizing FI documents

Note Summary :Snote1483198 - Error F5 727 "Maximum number of items in FI reached" when releasing invoice to accounting

There is a limit of (999) line items which can be posted per FI document. This is because the line item number (BSEG-BUZEI) is defined with a field length of 3 numeric positions, i.e. (999) line items.

Unfortunately there is no fix for this restriction at the moment. However, there are 2 commonly used workarounds:

Implement FI summarization (per note 36353). Also, SAP Note 195653 is for summarizing tax lines.

OR

Cancel the original billing document. Split the billing document into multiple billing documents with fewer line items. This, in turn, would avoid the 999 line item limit for financial postings. See note 11162 that describes invoice splitting.

Hi,

With the help of Basis guy run the trace for the VF11 transaction for 1000 line items and analyze what may be cause of the problem.

Single transaction trace program will help you for the same.

ST05 for performance trace.

Dear Prasanna,

You can ask basis team to increase this time for doing this cancellation.

Hi,

At the time of creation of invoice for 1000 item is system taken 10 mins for processing,

Ask your basis why it take so much time for t-code VF11
