can not invoice a delivery document

[Former Member]

What can cause a delivery document to fail billing processing?

One observation:

a) 1 line item in the sales order document has a profit center different from the profit center entered in the material master costing view of this material.

Can this be the reason why the delivery created for that sales order can not be processed for billing? Is there a possibility that Invoice can be created if the profit center of that item will be changed? If the system will not allow change of the profit center in the sales order document because the deliveryand goods issue has been posted, what other action can be done to be able to post the invoice?

Check whether any billing block is applied in the sales order or in delivery document header level. If applied, then remove then try to create the billing document. Also check the status of the both the sales document and delivery.

Upon checking on the "Billing" tab of the sales order document header, there is no "Billing block". But upon checking the "Status" tab, the following are show:

Overall status Being processed

Rejection status Partially rejected

Confirmation status Partially confirmed

Delivery status Partially delivered

Credit status Not approved

Overall blkd status Blocked

How about the diffence onthe profit center in the sales order and material master, can this also cause the error in invoice posting?

can this also cause the error in invoice posting?

I am clear on this, do you want to create the billing document or do you want to release the billing document to accounting?

Any way, the issue is not due to profit center. If you look at the credit status, the sales document is NOT approved. You can release the document using t.code VKM1 or VKM4 and then try to create the billing document in VF01. If the system does not create the billing document, it provides error log, which you can find by going to the menu Edit ->log.

Hello,

Your document is blocked because of the credit check for which customer might be exceeding their credit limit. You ask the authorised person to release the block then only you can proceed further.
