Billing plan at Sales Header, may be?

[Former Member]

I have a billing plan assigned at the sales doc. header. If I use it, great. If I do not want to use it, when I VF01 create an invoice I get an error "No Billing plan date found"

Any way around this ?

I want to enable billing plan on the regular OR sales doc type, I do not want to have to create a special sales doc type just to enable bill plan.

Thanks in advance

Am I really messing with the OR order type ? I am creating a "Z" billing plan and mapping it to the OR, but not doing anything specifically to the OR.

The original issue remains, I want to use one order type and utilize a billing plan if I want to, or just a standard order entry. Once I map the billing plan type I get the "No billing plan Date" error.

If this makes sense, then are we saying that if I tie a billing plan type to and Order type in the IMG, then I "have" to use a billing plan whenever using that order type?

Thanks in advance

You should not have same order type for Normal Order & Billing Plan. The reason being, in normal sales order, you would not like the message to pop-up everytime of billing plan, hence it is recommended not to have same order type for both.

Better Idea will be to assign billing plan at Item Category, instead of Sales header. You can create Sales Document Type, say ZOR (Copy of OR) & create & assign billing plan to new item category, say ZTAN ot ZTAD.

As much as possible, do not change the standards in SAP.

It is better & recommended.
