Hi

Your delivery document is being process yet and you are saying that you have saved invoice for this. If invoice is saved then why delivery order is with being process status. Could you check this? If you have authorization of SE11 or SE16N then please check in VBFA table for this sale order which documents you can see there. If possible paste screenshot of VBFA.

Thank$

Really something is wrong in your configuration.  When your delivery status shows Being Processed, I could see subsequent two documents, viz.Confirmation of Service and GD doc reference as complete.

Can you let me know how many line items that delivery contains?  The reason for this query is normally, for stock item, we see Material Document reference and for non-stock item, we see Confirmation of service.  But in your case, I could see both.  From your VBFA table screen shot, I could see two different material document references.

Check your copy control settings from delivery to billing document. In the field Pos/Neg quantity, you must maintain +. If no value is maintained, then system can generate multiple billing. Also check OSS note  1857518 - Multiple billing documents can be created to a single sales order or delivery

is of any help.

Dear Shiva.

It is because of  PDF print preview function module used inside the code  SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW.. in VV32 is change condition record DATE/Time is supporting 4 for standard preview. When we r using PDF preview change DATE/TIME number 4 to 3 or 1.
