Billing document is not automatically posted to accounting

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a problem in the billing document that usually ,the moment i have saved the billing document an accounting document is generated.

To have this automatically ,the billing type -posting block is unchecked

so it supposed to be posted to accounting, but about 70 billing document has been stagnated yet to release

Dear experts please guide me what could be the problem

With regards,

Hi Pratheep,

Hope you are doing good...

I suspect the reason could be the posting period...The posting period of October 2013 would have been opened. The billing documents would be pertaining to September 2013.

Let me know if this is the correct response.

Hi Rahul,

I have done nothing

As nishu sha suggested, posting block is unchecked default

I have helped the client all stagnated billing documents yet to release to accounts through VFX3 transaction ,

Last 2 days i am monitoring the transaction in the production server ,all are getting posted perfectly to accounting.

so i could not come to any conclusion that why system behaves like this

the reason why i have posted this issue here is some of you guys encountered this problem , so i can get the reason for the issue

Thanks

OKB9 Define Profit Center Defaults for Accounts

[Lakshmipathi]

Predominently, if system has not posted financial document for any billing document, first check the billing document at header level, whether the Account Assignment Group is flowing.  If it is blank, system will continue to throw the Account Determination error.

Hi Pradeep,

Like Krishna said. Please check the Posting period. If they are okay-then please check the Customer Master for any blocks which might have been added

Alternatively, if possible please post one of the Invoices manually and see what error it gives or whether it gets posted.

Hi,

Did you check if there are any update terminations happened in ST22? Also, check the number range of accounting document to see if it is not exhausted.

Thanks,

Vinod,

but the problem  is
not posting automatically to finance
if i release the flag then only it is posting to finance accounting

The accounting documents are getting created - not automatically (during the creation of billing document, VF01) but with "release" in VF02.

That means that there is no problem with the number range getting exhausted, for accounting document (type).

[vinod_vemuru2]

Hi,

Is this issue still happening for new documents that are being created or only those 70 which are stuck? Did you try to test the same billing type in some other sales org of different country (If it is being used globally)?

Also, please share the snapshot of status details of billing document as asked by Santosh. I feel we would get some clue here.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi TW

no problem with number range

any clue

I have suggested the client to go to VFX3 to release in mass, instead of releasing one by one

still the system behaves the same

hI vINOD,

AS ON THAT DATE CLIENT HAS CREATED 70 BILLING DOCUMENTS ALL ARE STAYED THERE

[vinod_vemuru2]

Hi,

I suspect the issue could be on that particular day. Are these 70 documents created on last day of the month?  May be due to timezone difference, period was not open at that time!?

Please create new billing document and see if the issue still exist.

Also, you didn't share the status details of billing document which could give some clue.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi,

Sorry i could not simulate the issue again and as you said the header status aslo completed status

now all the documents are posted perfectly

It is an indian company manufactures automobile components, supplies with in the india

the flow is

scheduling agreement >OBD>Billing>Excise invoice

After creating commercial  invoice followed by a  automatic excise invoice .when you click the accounting in vf02,it is opening the excise invoice only, not the account posting to customer account

after clicking release flag - it got posted to accounts

My question is every time we need to click the flag after saving the billing doc

Hi Pratheep,

Please remove the block as shown in the screen below

T.code vofa --> select billing document --> untick the checkbox of posting block

Can you check in your QA environment if this is working fine there?

[kyusufzai]

Hi Pratheep,

   Seems like you have already done required settings. Just for more clarity are you creating billing document through BAPI or any FM or directly via transaction VF01.

  Please let me know.

[former_member182378]

Kashif,

Your post is interesting! Thank you!

Why did you ask this question?

Would there be any difference for the system if BAPI (FM) is used or transaction code VF01 is used?

That too, until "yesterday" things were working fine!

Thank you!

[kyusufzai]

Hi

  I asked this question because  BAPIs sometimes behave and react different that when manually entering values in a transaction. I have faced this several times.

  I thought due to some program change it was working ok till yesterday and suddenly stopped.

Hi,

Check any authorization object is applied for approval to release to accounting and

take the help of ABAPER ,ask him to debug the billing document.

but till yesterday it was posted to accounting automatically

Also check whether posting period open or not in OB52 for October-2013

(even if its period not open also,it will create an error when you release Billing document(VFX3) but in your case no error message getting)

Hope it helps.

Krishna.

KRISHNA,

Check any authorization object is applied for approval to release to accounting

Could you please explain in more detail about how authorization object can play a role?

If the same user (same username) creates a billing document and who releases the billing document with VFX3 (or VF02), then could it be an issue with user authorization?

[former_member204407]

Hi TW,

SAP provided standard Authorization object for Billing

V_VBRK_FKA we can use this object for Billing type

if you further information please go through T-code:SU24  give object name check proposal for T-code VF02.

Hope you understand now.

Krishna.

Hi,

There is a customizing which is required to be done in order to ensure that the accounting document is automatically posted once SD billing is done

T.Code VOFA --> Select Billing document --> Check if the posting block is selected or not (If it is selected it wont pass A/cing entry automatically, however you can manually select the green flag for accounting document)

Thank You

thanks for the reply

but the problem  is

not posting automatically to finance

if i release the flag then only it is posting to finance accounting

is there any settings to post the document automatically to finance

thanks

Pratheep

[former_member211635]

Hi,

There are two aspects on SD Billing

1. Creation of SD Invoice (No Accounting Entry takes place here)

2. Creation of FI Document from SD invoice (FI Entry is posted at this stage)

By unchecking this checkbox step 2 is automated, i.e. if step 1 is done, step 2 happens automatically (subject to all GL Accounts are determined correctly)

If you check this checkbox, then you have to perform step 2 manually

Thank You

Hi,

Are you using same billing document type for all the billings?

Check in Revenue account determination analysis for one Billing document

VF02>Menu Bar>Environment>Account determination analysis>Revenue Accounts

or use T-code :VF02 release the billing document (enter Billing document number then click on green flag)

bottom you can able to find the error message why accounting document is not generated.

Fix the error it may reslove for other Billing documents

if you need furhter assistance please let me know.
