ABAP runtime error during cancellation of Invoice

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have an Invoice document which has around 2500 line items. When I am trying to cancel the Invoice document using VF11 it gives a Runtime error as "TIME_OUT" - Time limit exceeded.  The program "SAPLV60A" has exceeded the maximum permitted runtime without interruption and has therefore been terminated. It ran around 2 hours.

Can someone please tell me the procedure to cancel this Invoice. I know that we can try LSMW or BDC for this, but is there any other option apart from this.

Regards,

SNK.

Hi,

Check the below Notes as well

Note 362057 - Runtime error w/
collectv billing, text determinatn

Note 65987 - Performance problems when cancelling with VF11

Note 69880 - Runtime error TIME_OUT when you cancel

Try to apply relevant notes in DEV environment and see the results. if you don't get positive results, i would suggest to reach out SAP.

Hi Saikrishna,

Thanks for the reply. But we are in ECC 6.0 and the Notes for the performance issues point to 4.6B and lesser.

Is there anything else that can be done.

Hi,

Sorry Dear. Even I checked all Notes, most of them are 4.6 B and lesser. Better you raise it to SAP.

Sorry for not able to help you more than this.

Hi SNK,

As our expert Lakshmi said, now, its time to split the invoice with minimum line items and save.

Any Account document you can have maximum 999 line items.

You need to set out the timings as mentioned in OSS Note 25528 - Parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time to handle large volume of billing cancellation during online processing.

Interesting and eager to know whether system has generated Accounting Document successfully.  As you would be aware, in normal circumstances, if a billing document have more than 500 line items it would give an error message "F5727 - Max no. of line items reached in FI".  This being the case, I am not sure, how come it was possible to save the billing document with 2500 line items ?

The system did not generate an Accounting document. I am not sure about the saving of the billing document. I am also surprised.

Hi, this might also be a performance issue if some wrong coding is done in the invoice user exits. Before applying notes and contacting SAP, It's better you check the exact place where timeout is happening(you can get the code info from the dump itself) and check whether it is due to custom code. If so, your ABAP team can rectify this.

If the SAP version is at/below 4.6C, then take a look at OSS Note 494013 - Serious runtime problems when cancelling billing documents
