Unable to create a billing

[Former Member]

Hi there:

I am unable to create a billing based on a sales order as it is a order-related billing,it shows "no billing documents were generated see log", but when I am going to edit --->log, there is no log, and I had searched threads in this forum and had not found the answer to that, I had checked this order and there is no billing block, order is completed,and credit had got released,then I went to vtfa, aslo target billing type and source sales doc type had been maintained as well as item categories, help.

Which area you are seeking help from your ABAPer?

B'coz in 1st post itself I told you to that

2. Take assistance of an ABAPer in your team for doing a DEBUG or to check any enhancement or any Z error is not allowing the log to appear.

Hi Allen,

First check whether the sales order appears in billing due list or not. T Code VF04.

Please chech whether their is any billing block at header or item or billing plan level.

Check wheather the sales order quantity is fully utilized or not.

What kind of Billing doc you are creating from delivery?

If its Return or Cash Sales, billing relevance B is ok.

Else, if it is a simple outbound delivery, I would recommend you to have billing relevance as A.

Still, the error is related to any standard config, you we able to see the log.

The log will have (to get following structure open all nodes)

1. Error Log

2. Error desc.

3. Technical data

4. Tech. data details

i. Client

ii. Group Number

iii. Reference Document Number

iv. Item Number of the Refernence Document

v. Counter in Control Tables

vi. Message Identification

vii. System Message Number

viii. Output Type

ix. Message Variable 01

x. Message Variable 02

xi. Message Variable 03

xii. Message Variable 04

xiii. Group Type

It is a standard order which copied standard one OR,and it is order-related, and I saw error message "No error log created" when creating billing via vf01,then I tried to go to edit--->log but I am unable to see the log...

[Former Member]

Are you using a custom header (or item) level copying requirements? If so, can you copy and paste the code of header and item level copying requirement for your target billing and source order document types from VTFA?

If some custom validations are done in the copying requirements that prevent billing document creation and not append the message log, then this sort of thing can happen. We can only assist you if we can see the copying requirement logic.

NO error log created

.

The above message clearly states that error msg VF-042 NO ERROR LOG IS CREATED, so you can't see a log.

One possiblity, I can visualise where you are having a billing plans in preceeding document and the system is not able to find the default billing type while billing, then might face this error.

For this I would suggest you to maintain a default billing type in the sales order's milestone.

As I said before, I had checked vtfa and all had been maintained correctly as well as the item categories.

How can I maintain a default billing type in the sales order's milestone?

[jpfriends079]

If you don't have any subsequent doc to sales order & you can see the billing plan (Header/Item) in editable mode.

Then maintain Billing Type @ 14th Field for the desired Biling Date.

Or in VF01, manually choose the billing type after providing sales doc type for billing and press Enter from keyboard.

I did chose billing type manually when doing vf01, but it still does not work and this billing is not about billing plan.

[jpfriends079]

In that case I would recommond you to refer following SAP notes:

- Note 1491798 - Third-party: Error message without log

- Note 99326 - Third-party credit memo processing

- Note 84229 - Third party - partial delivery - billing for GR and IR

- Note 610662 - No log in VF01/VF04

- Note 312167 - No error message for billing plan without date

- Note 173442 - Correction for Note 166909

- Note 191759 - Billing document w item selection (order-related)

- Note 126871 - VF01: Error log does not exist

Also, check whether you have item which can be billed.

Hi

Did you check if the 'billing relevance' is B for the sales doc item category.

Relevant for billing is "B" for this item category.

[jpfriends079]

Strange!

Its not standard, when system proposes log and don't shows any.

You can do 2 things.

1. Use TCode SM13 check whether you have terminated update request.

2. Take assistance of an ABAPer in your team for doing a DEBUG or to check any enhancement or any Z error is not allowing the log to appear.

Further, to assist you better can you post the screenshot of the log.
