Billing job is Skipping few Deliveries

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Did any one came across this kind of issue?

Billing Job SDBILLDI Runs couples of times a day (for every 5 mints,10,15). It pick's up all deliveries and creates Billing.

But this job once in 2 months or 3 months, it is missing few deliveries, it skips.

For example.

1) Dealers creates 5 sales orders on Monday and got confirmed and deliveries got created and PGI is done.

2)This deliveries are ready for Billing

3)Billing job runs on Monday evening and picks 2 deliveries and created billing

4)But it skips 3 deliveries

5)Again Next day I--e Tuesday the billing job picks those 3 deliveries and creates Billing .

6)In few cases it won't pick those 3 deliveries and we manually doing with Vf01.

7) Up to now we are facing it for 4 dealers (Italy, France, Germany and UK)

Every time Dealers  tells he had not received few invoices(3).

Its Normal process and its delivery related .

Any SAP Notes?. Why system behaves in this way?

Thanks,

Seegal SK.

Hi,

please check the billing date of your order and the settings of the Job.

Maybe the billing date is set to (one) day ahead and Job is only selecting deliveries with billing date equals actual date.

Another thing is you can check VKDFS table and if entry is not there you can try regenerate the entries via report RVV05IVB.

Normally, VF04 (SDBILLDI) reads VKDFS table whereas, VF01 will not read this table and hence, whatever issue you face in VF04, still you will be able to bill via VF01.

Now coming to your issue, one option is you can schedule a background job via RV60SBAT and see still you face this issue.  You should be aware RV60SBAT is recommended for bulk generation of billing documents and in most of the cases, these sort of issues won't occur when this job is scheduled in background. 

The other options to find why the job is skipping some deliveries is run VF04 in simulation mode during which, system calls RV_READ_INVOICE_INDEX.  May be your ABAP team  would be able to identify the root cause.  Also ensure that no variants are there for that job which does not match VKDFS entries.
