Slow VF04 Process Only on One Company Code

[Former Member]

We have 5 company codes on our system. Last month we create new company code. No problem in Devevelopment or QA Server.

However, when we transporteded this new company code configuration to Production server, we got VF04 problem.

VF04 very slow for only one company code (existing company code), it took more than 30 minutes for 1 plant and 1 business date (normally it took about 1-3 minutes for 1 plant).

The longest time in this process in SM50 is "Sequential Read on CE4xxxx table". What could we do to check why VF04 on existing company code is very slow while in other company codes (including the new one) running normally.

Thank you so much.

Ideally, you should have checked with your Security team for better performance.  Nevertheless, have a look at the following notes which may help you to identify the root cause

• Note 551756 - Poor performance with collective billing
• Note 1934946 - Performance Issue When Creating Billing Documents

Hi Lakshmipathi,

Thank you for your answer. However, based on SAP Notes that you mention (Note 551756), it only applicable to SAP up to version 470. We use ECC 6.0.

About Note 1934946, we also already set RV_BELEG to use buffering method since one year ago. The problem occurred on this week after we transport all new configuration for new company code to Production Server.

Thank you

If the two notes are not applicable, then have a look at this

• Note 1996268 - Performance problem while generating billing documents using VF04    

If this is also not the root cause for the issue you are facing, then share the following note to your Security team as I already indicated and ask them to follow the steps listed out in this note as this is purely technical related issue and not a functional related issue.

• Note 841758 - Procedure when you experience performance problems
