It could be due to couple of reasons.

1) Check in the document flow for that sale order / delivery that invoice has not been generated yet

2) In VF01, ensure that you give the correct delivery reference. If it is sale order related billing, then sale order reference should be keyed in

thanks for the reply.

i've checked the DO & definately the invoice not generated yet. the status of billing doc is A and it is the Delivery related billing.

i still cannot rectify what makes the problem occur because Delivery Doc. with refer to the same sales order can generate the invoice. i'll try to check by referring to the post reply still cannot solve the problem. the problem only solve when i create new delivery document. it was my temporary solution.

Hi Hany

For your Question , An invoice can be created once the delivery is completed,if you have scheduled any user exit.

As you are getting error VL 331 while creating invoice ,so check the copy controls and Billing relevance feild in the Item category details in VOV7.

hi,

there is another DO refer to the same sales order and invoice can be generated by referring to the DO. Currently, we've reversed the DO and deleted it. New DO is created and Invoice will generate by refer to the new document.

is that an appropriate solution?

Pls Go to "VL02n" select your delivery document and select the line item, and check the goods movement, also if PGI is done.
