[Former Member]

HI,

We are ceated third party sales order with 10 items.

30 % down payament invoiced done.

here invoice is getting generate with referance to sale order.

now when we are trying to create invoice for remaining 70% that time invoice is getting split and the reason is showing  differeance in

"No.of foreign trade data" which is at header of the invoice.

Why invoice is getting split due to this ? because it is header data.

Pls reply ASAP

Thank you very much

Hi Tina D,

invoice split issues are usually obvious and as indicated by G Lakshmipathi, you will find with some search threads on SCN like this one: http://scn.sap.com/message/5680421

The first decisive point you will have to check is your customizing settings in the copy control for this process. As you have described, this is a third party business with order related invoicing. The setting is then here in transaction VTFA:

As you have here no delivery, I suppose setting "B" is used or not?

If this is the case, then the different determination of VBRK-EXNUM is not the real split cause, because it had been decided earlier, that two documents should be created and different EXNUM determination is only an effect thereof.

To give you more concrete advice is however difficult - too many factors can influence the system's behavior (custom own data transport routines? user-exits?). An investigation of VF01 would be required.

• Which items are split?
• How are the downpayments created (with billing plan used?)?

But also with more information, here in the SCN Forum your answer can probably not be answered, because this is not a knowledge issue.

If you are entitled to create an OSS message, you could use component SD-BIL-IV and send it to SAP Support for investigation on your system.

Best regards.

Hello Tobias,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Here is the actual scenario

In sales order there are total 20 items

first 10 items having item category X. and

next 20 items having item category Y

in the invoice split the invoice is getting split like this only means first 10 items in one invoice andnext 20 in second invoice.

the invoice is getting split on 1.combination criteria in billing 2,number of foreign trade data in invoice.

when we compared two item categories we found that except special stock Indicator "E" which is active for one item category rest of the things are same.

my question is Is invoice get spit due to this? is yes what is the linkage of special stock indicator "E" with foreign trade data

Hi Tina D,

now you describe a completely different scenario. .

Delivery related invoice creation.

To be checked is how the field VBRK-ZUKRI is filled for each item category. Probably you have different logic in the copy data transport routine (transaction VTFL) on item level.

If you have set determination of foreign trade data to be "B" on header level, then the second split critierum is only a consequence of the first (difference in VBRK-ZUKRI).

Best regards,

Tobias

Hi Tina,

As reported in note 11162, different header fields causes a invoice split. This is the case of fields VBRK-EXPKZ and VBRK-EXNUM.

If you would like to avoid the split, note 11162 suggest to initialize them in a customer copy requirement. If you don't want initialize them, you could consider to keep one of them. In this case you will have to decide which VBRK-EXPKZ should be in the unique invoice. It is not possible to have 'two' header fields VBRK-EXPKZ in the same invoice in the standard.

I hope I could help you.

Hello,

Do you have thrid party sales scenario in Export Sales?

Anyways, check the Foreign Trade data at Header & Item levels in the Invoice. At header level in India, any field that is unique can create a Invoie split.

Thanks,

Hi

See the recommendations by SAP in SAP Note 11162 - Invoice split criteria in billing document (points 3 and 5)

I hope this helps you
