Billing doc not generated

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a scenario like this:

Bring in stock, enter sales order, do delivery and billing.

A billing doc number is generated at the point of saving VF01.

But when going to VF02 to view the billing doc, an error message is recevied saying that the Billing document does not exist.

Message No of the received error msg is VF041

Diagnosis- The billing doc that you specified does not exist.

This doc was possibly archived.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Thank you all for the feedback.

The issue was sorted out. THere was an issue with the smart forms, and all the billing docs that got genertaed has got reversed bacause of the issue.

Therefore, the generated billing no's were not captured in the tables as well.

Thank you all for the information, Appriciate it.

Hi Kanishka,

I had faced the same scenario a few months back. The problem is that someone has messed with the system and probably archived all the billing documents. Are you working on IDES? Because in PD, its rare that someone blindly archives documents. If the bills that you created were for practice purpose, then you may create the OTC cycle docs again. Or else if you want, i will tell you how to retrieve archived documents. But retrieving is possible only if the documents have not been archived as well as deleted.

Do get back to me.

Hi..

KANISHKA

Please take the delviery no on the basis of which you have generated billing. Go to VL03N and check the document flow if billing is created agaisnt that delviery u will find the same in document flow. Click on the same and press show document and then check the document flow of the billing and check the sales order no.

Hope this will help u

Thx.

Hi,

the document flow does not show a Billing number that is generated.

But at the point of VF01, a billing number was generated,

[former_member184555]

Hi

Goto SE16 and from the table VBFA (document flow) giving the preceding document number, check for the subsequent document(billing) number.

Alternatively you can check the document flow as specified in the above reply.

Thanks,

Dear kanishka,

Take sales order number and put it in VA03 and see the display document flow , you can come to know whether billing doc is created or not .
