Billing Relevance Vanishes

Hello,
I created a sales order with Item Category TAN (ZTAN in my project) and billing relevance as "M". I created delivery and suddenly billing relevance vanishes in the sales order. Could you please provide me the solution please?
Thanks,
Sam

hello, friend.
billing relevance M is used mostly for batch determined items.  this is how it works...
if batch of a material is determined in the delivery, the main line item will have delivery/picking quantity 0 and the sub-items representing the batches as delivery/picking quantity relevant.  this is replicated in the billing document if billing relevance A is used.
if M is used, then the main item is not included in the billing document as this has 0 quantity.  the delivery sub-item the becomes the main item in the billing.
if you are not using batch determination, perhaps the use of M is not appropriate. 
on the other hand, if you are using batch determination in the delivery, this is possibly what could have happened:
1.  you create a sales order with item 10, material XX100.  this item has billing relevance.
2.  you create delivery, and batch determination/split occurs. sub-item 90001 is created for item 10.
3.  if you go back to the sales order, billing relevance for item 10 itself will "vanish".  however, look in your document flow and you will find the item 90001 (this is where billing relevance will be).
please try this and post again.
regards.

  • Third party process:Billing relevance 'B' order related and 122

    I am facing the following problem: in Order related Billing according to order qty, the sales order bills what has been received on the third party PO in MM.
    The following situation occurs: When I order 100, receive 100 and Bill 100: The sales order is fully billed. When I later return a quantity to the vendor in MM with a 122 referring to the PO, the sales order remains fully billed. There is no way I can find out which Sales order needs to be take action on (credit). Can someone help me finding out how I can select these sales orers after a 122?

    Ok, no problem.
    At the client we have a very specific flow where receipts on a third party PO need to be billed daily when they happen and every receipt (better: any goods movement) needs a seperate billing document.
    This is not covered in SAP standard. I wrote a program (functional) how SAP should find the billing relevant movements:
    1) Go to the billing due list daily at 0:00
    2) Check all related third party PO's and the movements
    3) Check the sales flow of the relevant SO. Check which material doc has been billed (via reference field in the billing doc)
    4) For all items not yet billed call function module GN_INVOICE_CREATE. (bill in case of 101 and 123 and credit in case of 102 and 122)
    This works all fine until I found above issue: Fully billed items are removed from the billing due list even if there is a 122 or 102 afterwards on the PO. So I redesigned the program.
    1) at 0:00 Select all movements on the system date for the specific flow (PO type and plant) via Material documet header and segment.
    2) Via the account assignment in the material doc you have the Sales order. Then the same applies:
    3) Check the sales flow of the relevant SO. Check which material doc has been billed (via reference field in the billing doc)
    4) For all items not yet billed call function module GN_INVOICE_CREATE. (bill in case of 101 and 123 and credit in case of 102 and 122)
    Here I am not using the due list and it solved my problem.

  • Update VBUP-FKSTA (billing relevancy) during creation of invoice

    Hi,
    We pack items in a delivery. Due to this an extra item is added to the delivery with a ZPAC item category. This item category is set as billing relevancy.
    We have created a requirement in copy control that we only want these items in the intercompany invoice, and not in a regular invoice F2. The invoice is created for the customer without the packaging materials and the intercompany invoice has all the items. This requirement is only in a specific scenario for only one shipping point. The customer does not need to pay for the packaging materials, but the intercompany sales organization does.
    Now the delivery is still open because the billing relevancy is 'A' (vbuk-fksta), but we actually do not copy it to the invoice. The billing relevancy for the intercompany (vbuk-fkivp) is set to 'C'. We would like to set the vbuk-fksta automatically (if possible) during creation of the F2 invoice to 'C'.
    We know transaction VL_COMPLETE we can do this manually.
    I tried some user exits but at the moment I can not find the routine where it actually updates this status. And whether there is a user exit (or enhancement) possible to influence this ourselves, so we do not need to update this by hand.

  • Item cat -billing relevance

    HI,
    IN VOV7 what is the diffrence between
    Billing Relevance B/C/F
    B     Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty
    C     Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty
    F     Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice qty
    Pl suggest

    Dear,
    B - Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty
    Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
    C - Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty
    Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
    F - Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice qty
    Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a  customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
    Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
    This process can also be related to the quantity of goods receipt.
    You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
    In Customizing, choose
    Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item,
    then select an item category.
    Best Regards,
    Amit

  • Item category Billing Relevance

    Hi All
    Can i exactly understand what is the exact impact on the system for the Billing relevance in the item category?
    If I set it as 'B' -Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
    If I set it as 'C'- Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
    I could not understand the impact of the Billing status.
    Lets say for eg. If I raise an order for 10 Nos. & deliver 8 Nos & bill what would be the status of billing if I choose "B" & what would be the Billing status if I choose "C".
    Looking for your feedback
    Thanks & Regards
    Aravind

    HI there,
    Option B: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
    Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
    Option C: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
    Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
    For eg: You order 10 quantities. But you create 2 partial deliveries of 5 each. If option B is selected, system considers order quantity 10. If option C, then it considers target quantity 5.
    Hope this clarifies.

  • Billing Relevance A & M in Item Category.......

    Hi
    Could anyone explain the difference between the billing relevance A & M in item cat definition.....
    Thanks in advance.....
    S.Kumar

    Dear Kumar
    Billing relevance description is as follows,
    A: Relevant for delivery-related billing documents
    Which means Outbound delivery is the basis for billing. The billing document status is only updated in the outbound delivery
    M:Delivery-related invoices-no zero qtys (incl main batch itm)
    Which means In Delivery the batches are determined automatically based on the delivery quantity.if you have  batch split. then when you are creating invoice it is copying the line item with zero quantity also to prevent this you can make use of billing relevance.

  • Billing Relevance in item category

    Hi All,
    I have to create a proforma invoice immediately after sales order is created for the item with  item category TAN.
    1. Now when I am trying to create a proforma invoice F5 for sales order in VF01 the system allows me to do so which should not happen since billing relevance for TAN is A i.e. delivery related biling document.Please let me know why is this happening.
    Item category billing relevance determines whether an invoice is to be created from an order or delivery then how come this is being allowed.
    2. lso, since I need to create a proforma invoice after sales order then do I need to change the item category to say ZPRO with billing relevance as D and then create proforma invoice.
    Once proforma invoice is created then again change the item category back to TAN, create delivery and bill.
    Is this the right procedure or there is some way to do it.
    Thanks and Regards
    Gaurav

    system allows me to do so which should not happen
    If you have maintained VTAF copy control for sale order to proforma, then system will allow.  Check whether you have maintained.
    since I need to create a proforma invoice after sales order
    Here I am not clear.  When in first statement, you say it should not happen here you say you need to create.  Please note if you want to create proforma against sale order, you need to maintain copy control as suggested above and also you need to maintain commercial invoice type to your delivery in VTFL, so that system will allow you to create both proforma and commercial invoice.  No need to change the item category which is not standard.
    thanks

  • Billing relevance - Order related billing - based on GR (not IR)

    Having some difficulty getting our order related item category to be relevant for billing once we have processed the GR on the corresponding VPO.
    We have set multiple configurations on the item category and copy control, but none have worked.
    All seem to require the IR as well, even though the billing relevance description says otherwise.
    Any tips?
    Thank you for your time.

    In the standard system Indivdual PO & third party scenarios are
    supported with item category TAB (del rel.) & TAS (order rel.)
    Item Cat Bil Relv    Copy control Bil Qty      System reaction
        F                      F                    The order does not
                                                    appear on the Due list

  • Billing Relevant

    Hi SAP Guru,
    As we use Item Category TAN
    Billing relevance is A Delivery-related billing document
    When we Use Item Category TAS
    Billing Relevance is F Order-related billing doc -status according to invoice qty
    My Question is - 
    In Some order it is taking F even if we use item category TAN.
    Can you please guide me.
    Thank& Regards
    Bhushan

    Dear Bhushan
    On your comment
    "In Some order it is taking F",
      please let me know where you see F flowing, as normally, I dont think you can see the billing relevance in sale order.
    thanks

  • Return order (RE) changed to non-billing relevance

    Hi experts,
       I would like to change order type RE to non-billing relevance. When I make such changes, and go to VA01 to create RE order, I get "Missing Profitability Segment" in my incompletion log. I find that it is from incompletion procedure 20 assigned to item category REN.
       Since incompletion procedure 20 is shared by other order types and in item categories, I can't change it and at the same time I can't assign a incompletion procedure to REN (the field is display only).
       So what should I do in order to remove such incompletion checking? Thanks.

    Hello,
    If you dont want to check incompletion for this RE order then u just remove the assignment of incompletion log procedure to sales documetn type RE in VUA2 t.code.
    So that system will not do any incompletion check while saving RE order..

  • Difference between Billing Qty & Billing Relevance

    Hi All,
    What is the need to maintain "Billing Quantity" indicator in billing copying control, while we maintain
    the same in "Billing Relevance" indicator in VOV7.
    For eg  if i set the Billing Relevance is B- which is Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity.,.. then what is need to maintain again in Copying control in the "billing quantity"indicator for that particular item category.
    Can anyone please clear my doubt.(With  Example )
    Regards
    Debasish

    Hi there,
    In VOV7 you assign the billing relevance mentioning that the item is relevant for billing weather order or delivery releated biiling. AGN & AXN items are not relevant for billing (quotation & inquiry).
    But in copy controls you mention what quantity should be billed. When you create an invoice for a standard sales order item, for example, the quantity that the system copies into the invoice is the delivery quantity less the quantity already invoiced. If you create a pro forma invoice, the system copies in the order quantity.
    For eg: OR order is raised for 100 quantity. Basing on VOV7, all 100 items are revelant for order related billing. Here all 100 items may  not be relevant for delivery (could be service or text items). Consider that out of 100, partial delivery is done for 50 & invoiced. So open quantities will be 50.
    When you maintain billing quantity F in VTFA, it means that system will copy remaining 50 quantity (not 100) into the invoice. Coz setting F means invoice receipt quantity less invoiced quantity. Here 50 is already invoiced. So F2 is raised only for remaining 50 items from the order.

  • Billing relevance issue.

    15.10.2010
    Hi friends,
    We are using batch management and for an item category i have assigned billing relevance as 'M'. When copying from delivery to commercial invoice the items with 0 quantity is not getting copied, but for proforma invoice the zero quantity lines are getting copied.   Wont 'M' work for Proforma invoice?   Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Udayanth

    Dear Udaynath
    This is the standard practice of SAP. items with 0 quantity will not be copied to invoice. But items with 0 quantity can be copied to proforma invoice, because proforma invoice doesnt change the status of delivery.
    It even doesnt matter what billing relevance you have taken. No copy control change will work because it is controlled via SD document category.
    Thanks

  • Billing relevance in MTO with assembly processing

    Hi, can anyone provide advise on this?
    I created a service material (DIEN) that will generate a production order in the sales order.  However, if i set the billing relevance to 'Not relevant', the production order cannot be created.  Is there a reason why?
    Thanks
    Peter

    system allows me to do so which should not happen
    If you have maintained VTAF copy control for sale order to proforma, then system will allow.  Check whether you have maintained.
    since I need to create a proforma invoice after sales order
    Here I am not clear.  When in first statement, you say it should not happen here you say you need to create.  Please note if you want to create proforma against sale order, you need to maintain copy control as suggested above and also you need to maintain commercial invoice type to your delivery in VTFL, so that system will allow you to create both proforma and commercial invoice.  No need to change the item category which is not standard.

    Hi,
    First of all how user has changed the customising in production directly.....
    Please suggest us when he has changed that customizing like before creating order after creating order or after delviery..
    If it is after delviery then please cancel that delviery then please try to create delivery once again..
    If after order please cancel all the subsequent document and try to recreate order once again...
