How do I avoid a billing split?

[Former Member]

Hi all.

I have a sales order with 2 items. These items have in the partner function a vendor partner function.

Example: Item 1 - Partner function LF - Vendor Test1

               Item 2 - Partner function LF - Vendor Test2

And the billing document is being split. How do I avoid this?

Hi Danilo,

please search in the forum before to post new thread.

The billing split has been discussed many times.

If split analysis shows the only split criteria is the different LF partner, please check this thread:

Hi Ivano, good morning.

Ok, but the problem is in the item level. No in the header level.

In the item level, for each item, there is a partner function LF, with different values.

Did you see this?

Tks.

Hi Danilo,

the different LF partners are at item level in the sales order.

So in the sales order LF is present in the item partner procedure.

What about the partner procedure of the billing document ?

If the split is caused by different LF parnters, then surely in the billing document LF is in the header partner procedure.

Please check in transaction VOPA.

Select Billing header, check the partner procedure assigned to the billing type. I think LF is present.

If so, please remove it, then select the relevant item partner procedure and add LF at item level.

If split still occurs, then please run the splitting analysis and inform us what it shows.

Run VF03 to display one billing document, then by menu Environment > Split analysis insert the second billing document.

Best regards,

Ivano.

Ivano,

Removing the LF partner in the header and inserting manually the LF partners in the item level of sales order, the billing was no splitted.

Worked fine as I wanted.

Thanks.

Hi Danilo ,

Invoice split can happen for a Order only in case of following conditions:

1. When the Invoice date (Billing date) are Different for line items .

2. When the PAYER is different for line items in order.

3. When the Payment terms for Line items in Order are different.

4. Incoterms of the lines items are different.

5. There is scenario of Invoice Split designed in your System through Customization (done from some requirements).check the Copy controls

set between  Delivery Document and Invoice Document in system and check if there is a Requirement which checks the "vendor Partner function " that you mentioned in your query.

Check if any of the above conditions are true is your case.If yes ,then Invoice Split will happen.

In oder to Avoid the Split,keep all the values same mentioned in above POINTs (1 - 4) and change the Customisation if any (in POINT 5).

Incase of any queries/clarifications,please revert.

Thanks and Regards,

Umesh Karane.
