Document is not relevant for Billing(we are getting this error)

[ashish_arora6]

Hi Gurus,

I have created purchase order NB type, and created the delivery NLCC with item category NLC.

But when I tried to create the Billing F2, then I am getting error as shown below:-

"Document is not relevant for Billing"

Msg Class & No: VF016

Here in our case price is zero(free goods) and it is intercompany scenario.

Our client need F2 billing document created with respect to delivery doc. NLCC.

Please help.

Hi,

For Inter company process you need to use billing document IV not F2, you need to maintain relevant copy control. F2 is used normally for customer billing not inter company billing.

Thanks.

From what I know, the standard process is to have IV billing for inter-company stock transfers. Why your client insists on using F2?

This does not make much business sense, speak with the client and explain how inter-company process works in SAP, this is probably a misunderstanding.

Hi Peykova,

Yes, we understand that F2 is not the correct process.

In our current scenario if price in STO is not-zero then IV billing type is getting created wrt delivery(NLCC).

But the requiremnt is if price in STO is zero means free good then billing should be created with reference to delivery and billing type should be F2.

Please let me know if additional information is required.

This will not work, still -  why does it have to be F2?

If you are allowed by legislation to send free stuff between your companies (in some countries it can be complicated), then I would expect just a proforma if you need customs processing.

What is that you are trying to post to FI with F2 that you cannot do with IV?

Hi Peykova,

We have tried F8 also. But we are getting same error, even though in item categorybilling relevant is set as D i.e. Proforma relevant.

Could you please let me know how to confirgure proforma type invoice.

For me proforma creation works with these settings (ZF8 is an exact copy of F8):

Check the settings for your copy control and billing type.

Hi Peykova,

We have maintained the same setting which you showed in the screenshot.

But when we are trying to bill then we are getting the error message "VF044" item is not relevent for billing .

Below is the copy contro config which we did for F8:-

Copy control from NLCC >> F8

Header Req: 009 (DlvRel.pro forma hdr)

Copy item Number = tick.

Item Requirement: 010 (DlvRel.pro forma itm)

Billing Qty = D

Pricing type = G

Price Source A

Item Catefory Config

Item Category Config (NLC) (T CODE - VOV7)

Billing Relevance = D

Pricing = X

As per my understanding this error is coming because LIPS = FKREL (Billing Relevance is blank).

Please let us know how we can configure this.

Hi Peykova

Could you please provide any update on this.

In my case LIPS-FKREL = 'D', the same as in VOV7 and it works with no issues.

Are you testing with new documents?

Are you using batch managed materials? If yes, the setup is slightly different.

Are you using some custom code, which influences billing relevance? If yes, check with an ABAPer or on your own in debug.

[ashish_arora6]

Hi Peykova,

Yes, we are using batch at the time of deliverly(manually we are entering batch).

Please let me know what type of additional setting is required.

With batch split you have two types of items - main item and sub-item.

Depending on what exactly you want to achieve in billing, you have 3 different scenarios - billing main item, display sub-item; display main item, billing sub-item; billing main item without sub-items.

Read note 77414 - Billing during batch split.

In addition, there is an useful document in SCN wiki - Batch items in billing document, which is a good place to start.
