maintain the item category TAN or(customized one) in VTFA

then go to VOV7 maintain billing relevance "B"

maintain the header date :

copying requirement 001

tick the copy item number

maintain the item date :

billing quantity-A

positive& Negative Quantity   +

Pricing Type-C

Please check and let me know

Krishna,

Your suggestion is risky and is not the correct way to handle this issue.

then go to VOV7 maintain billing relevance "B"

Just to address this issue which is not an error; you are suggesting to change the billing relevance for delivery related billing process (and make it order related billing).

What would happen to the business especially: all the deliveries which are to be billed, with item category TAN?

Note: Doing these type of changes (without any business base) is not advisable in Sandbox /IDES...let alone SAP system implemented for real-time business.

Dear

yes its not advisable for standard,but we can try with "Z customized" that is what I mentioned in my previous reply.

I mean for this particular scenario I said change the billing relevance to "B"

Thanks  for your valuable suggestion.

Regards,

Krishna.

Krishna,

I mean for this particular scenario I said change the billing relevance to "B"

Would it be advisable for the user to change the billing relevance to B (from A = delivery related) for "this particular scenario"?

(even if the name of the item category is TAN or ZTAN)

That would "mess up" the settings and NOT recommended.

Please do not think ONLY from this issue in isolation. All solutions should be "in line with" the business processes and should not create problems later on for the business. I.e. how would customer service explain (to management or to the customer) why:

- one delivery is not yet billed

- WHY an item category is delivery related billing, then (via a transport request) this item category is changed to order related billing and then again via a transport request) this item category is changed to delivery related billing?

Apart from the suggestions above, use F1 for order related billing to bill the service item.

Shiva,

As an extra comment; for the below mentioned error:

while creation (VF01)i am getting an log -item category 
TA TAN cannot be invoiced with billing type F2. 

shall come even if F1 billing type is used.

As I mentioned above, this error message is correct.

For delivery related billing (item with item category TAN), system shall not do billing with reference too order. The error communicates the same.

[former_member182378]

TA TAN cannot be invoiced with billing type F2.

System is indicating that for the item with item category TAN, order related invoicing / billing can not be done. That is correct.

Do not bother about it.

Go ahead and invoice ONLY the item with item category TAD (service) (by order related billing)

When you do billing with reference to delivery then the item with item category TAN shall get billed too.

TA TAN cannot be invoiced with billing type F2.
I cheked the copy control VTFA and item category TAD is there,

The issue is item category TAN is missing and not TAD.  Please check in order to billing copy control whether TAN is maintained.  For information, in order related billing, normally TAN wont be there.  It is related to Delivery related billing.
