Delivery to billing document with batch split: VPRS needs to be total of sub-items

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have set up config so that when an SD delivery contains a batch split, then the cumulate cost functionality allows me to copy only the main line item for each material through to a billing document.

This line item is for the total quantity of the sub-items in the batch split. However, the total cost (VPRS) is not correct.  It is being calculated from the material valuation data - since we use moving average price, this frequently changes. What I want to do is to calculate the total cost for the billing document from the sub-items of the batch split.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks in advance,

Val

Dear Val,

please check the following SAP notes, they might be helpful:

352441 - Accumulated cost is missing in the main item

77414 -  Billing during batch split

Thanks, Csaba,

We've already applied 352441, I'll have a look at 77414 and check against my settings.

All working fine now, thanks.  My new config does totalling as I need, and the cutover problem disappears as outstanding deliveries are billed - finance will post journals to correct double-posting.

Thanks for your help, Csaba and Shiva.

Hi,

In the T.code-VTFL under Item Category Level you have an option-Cumulate Cost which cumulates the cost of all Subitems and display at Main Item.

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for your quick answer.

So for my new config I need to set Cumulate Cost on the item category I use for the sub-items, then the total will appear on the main item? OK, I can set that for my new deliveries and billing documents.

However, my immediate problem is a cutover one.  I have old deliveries which were created before I made this change - these have batch split, but both main and sub-items have the same item category. It has Cumulate Cost ticked, Billing Quantity G and Pricing Type G.  When I create billing documents for these old deliveries, all lines are included (since they have the same item category they can't be separated) - and the main item is being determined from material valuation when it should be the total of the sub-items.  I need it to be the total because each batch used has a different valuation on it.  Can you help me with this situation?

Thanks,

Val
