Interesting scenario Billing

Hello Experts,
I have an interesting scenario regarding invoice block.
The invoices are posted but blocked on perticular date.
Could anybody please help with what could be the reason for this block and how this can be avoided in the future?
Kindly throw some light about the tolerance limit set for the invoices.
Awaiting your valuable inputs as early as possible.
Thanks in advance for help.

Psm.

Hi,
I think there is posting block set for you.Please remove that posting block and proceed further.
Goto VOFA T.Code.Select your Billing type and then goto General data.Uncheck the Posting block field.
It's not regarding tolerence limit.
Pls gothrough the following link for some notes on tolerance limit.

    Your query is not clear.
    Can you explain further when the invoices are posted and when the invoices are blocked.

  • Interesting scenario- user facing error while deleting a sales order

    Hello All,
    I have one interesting scenario and want feedback from your side as soon as possible
    Scenario-
    One of my clients is facing a problem while deleting a sales order.
    the sales order he is trying to delete is the old order created in 2007.
    when i see the document flow the user has created the export order, then delivered it, invoiced and sent it to accounting, accounting document is also cleared. then he cancelled the invoice, reverse PGI and deleted the delivery. the status of the sales order system is showing is being processed. but please note in this case after reversing PGI and deleting a delivery the delivery document disappears from the document flow.
    document flow looks like this
    Order - 200004715                     Being processed
    invoice- 700005310                    completed
    accounting 700005311                 cleared
    Cancel Invoice 700005315            completed
    Accounting 700005316                 cleared
    Now, in 2008 user is trying to delete the sales order but he is unable to do the same. system is giving him message "unable to delete sales order because of subsequent document 70005310 (which is invoice number)"
    Can somebody please throw some light on this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As fas as I know, this is standard system behaviour. The reason - you have done PGI (which has created a material document as well as accounting doc) and invoiced & reversed (which again has created accounting documents & rversal documents). All these documents are referencing the sales order.
    If you delete sales order, sales order number gets deleted from VBAK /VBAP tables.
    Hence, in relational data base scenario (meanin SAP in this context), deletion of sales order after creation of subsequent documents is not feasible.
    Hope it clarifies the issue.

  • Third party scenario billing error.

    Hi,
    I am testing the third party sales scenario. I have customized my own settings .While creating bill for the customer I am getting the following error u201CNo billing documents were generated message: VF032u201Dwhen I checked further the log the message is u201Cthe item is not relevant for billingu201D.
    I have checked the following settings in VOV7, VOV 8, VTFA and VTFL and they are as follows.
    VOV7
    Billing relevance: F
    VOV8
    In the shipping tab delivery type: EL shipping notification
    and under the tab billing following settings are there
    Dlv-rel.billing type :F2    Invoice
    Order-rel.bill.type  : F2    Invoice
    Intercomp.bill.type : F2    Invoice
    VTFA
    In the transaction the target is assigned to the sales document type i.e in my case F2(Invoice) is assigned to ZOR and in the copying requirements the option is chosen as 012: Order related third party item and in the item category ZTAS is assigned with copying requirements as 12 : Ord Rel 3rd Pty Item and with the following settings 
    Billing quantity     F

    In spite of all these settings I am getting the error u201CNo billing documents were generated message: VF032u201D: u201Cthe item is not relevant for billingu201D.
    Please suggest me further.

    in your process you missed the invoice from your vendor
    F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
    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.
    The process is followed : Sales orderu2014PRu2014POu2014Inbound delivery (shipping notification)u2014GRu2014invoice from vendor - Invoicing the customer .

  • Service(Jobwork scenario) billing

    Hi all,
    For manufacturing scenario we have biling doc. & the exc.inv. no. ,
    exc.inv will be used by FI personel for CST/VAT  filing,
    Where as for service scenario we got billing no.(different no. range to manufactrng)
    here FI personel objects filing with reference to billing no.
    Do we have got inv.no generation option for service bill (like for manufactrng)?
    or billing doc. is the only refernce?

    Seema,
    Can you be please elaborate more about your scenario.
    Service billing wll not generate any excise invoice.
    service is only applicable for Service tax and not VAT/CST. Please check the legal tax systems with respect to client country.

  • Scenario: Bill of Lading

    Hello Gurus,
    Please check the scenario.
    I have to make a master bill of lading and subsequent bills of lading in the following scenarios:
    We are in Atlanta. We have 10 different customers in Dallas area. User would have 10 different Less Than truck Load shipments created for individual Ship-tos.
    There is a Carrier Pooling (or consolidation point) in Dallas region. So Carrier pools all these 10 different Shipments to create a Full truck Load from Atlanta to Dallas Pooling point. Then there would be 10 individual trucks going from Dallas pooling point (carrying 10 individual shipments) to 10 independent customers.
    Now, what i am looking for is if we can have 11 different bills of lading - i.e. 1 Master Bill of Lading from Atlanta to Dallas Pooling point, and 10 Bills of Lading from Dallas pooling area to the different customers.
    Please explain a step wise method if possible.

  • Interesting scenario, is there a need to reset logs periodically?

    10.2.0.2 Ent Ed -- Rman 10.2.0.2 -- aix 5.3
    Is there a possible need to perform a reset logs periodically? This question initially came to me at the worst of times, during a recovery of a fairly important database.
    If / when you have to perform an spfile or controlfile restore without a recovery catalog, if your log sequence is above 255 and your last backup was more than a day ago, is it possible your latest autobackup wont be found? In our scenario we had a day old controlfile snapshot that we used, but I'm not sure if we would have been able to recover had it not been there. From reading the 10g Recovery Manager Reference manual:
    "FROM AUTOBACKUP
    [autoBackupOptionList]
    Restores a control file autobackup. You can only specify this option on the RESTORE CONTROLFILE and RESTORE SPFILE commands. When restoring either type of file in NOCATALOG mode, the FROM AUTOBACKUP clause is required.
    RMAN begins the search on the current day or on the day specified with the SET UNTIL. If no autobackup is found in the current or SET UNTIL day, RMAN checks the previous day starting with sequence 256 (or the sequence specified by MAXSEQ) until it reaches 0. The search continues up to MAXDAYS days (default of 7, maximum of 366) from the current or SET UNTIL day. If no autobackup is found within MAXDAYS days, then RMAN signals an error and the command stops. "
    The doc doesn't mention it but if you haven't ever tried setting MAXSEQ > 256, you'll get an error if you do. 256 is the upper bound for the MAXSEQ parameter. This is a snippet from my test of that:

    The "sequence" here is not the Log Sequence Number that is assigned when LGWR switches from one Redo Log to another, and the previous one is archived out as an Archivelog (if running in ARCHIVELOG mode).
    The "sequence" here is the sequence of the controlfile autobackup that was created. In AUTOBACKUP mode every change to the database structure (eg adding a new datafile) causes an Autobackup. Similarly, every Database Backup causes an Autobackup. Since multiple such autobackups can occur within a single day, Oracle assigns a SEQUENCE to differentiate beteween the backups created on the same day. It is this sequence that is limited to 255 .

  • Interesting Scenario - Bank Reconciliation

    Hi Experts !
    My client has a scenario where payment is received 100% advance from the customers who deposite the same directly into bank account accross different geographical locations.
    Clients a/c dept. checks for receipt of payment through netbanking and makes an incoming payment 'On Account' against that customer and enters transaction id of the payment as seen in online bank statement.
    The invoice is generated after payment recipt and the goods are despatched to the customer.
    The customers's requirement is ;-
    1) To reconcile incoming payments with external bank statement by matching the transaction id as entered at the time of incoming payment and as present in the bank statement.
    It sometimes happens that either delibrately or by mistake the user enters wrong transaction id at incoming payment against the customer and the goods are dispatched.However that transcation id does not match when it is reconciled with bank statement.
    How do I reconincile external bank statement with incoming payments ? The customer is using 2007B,PL06.
    Your inputs are much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Asap

    Hi Suda,
    Thanks for the reply !
    More than the human error the question is to enable the system to prevent delibrate incorrect entries which has happened in the past.
    Changing the transcation id field in the JE will work in case of entries with wrong id.
    Could you please enlighten me on the possibility of matching external bank statement with the incoming payments?
    Regards,
    Asap

  • Interesting scenario with batches

    Hi friendss,
    I have some plants ex. 2221, 2223. they will create PO and do GR .here vendor is also same plant.
    for 2221 plant 2221 is the vendor
    for 2223 plant 2223 is the vendor.
    In both case material is same. but different batches .batch have different characteristics. and prices also different.
    Is it possible to create a PO for same plant?
    After that they will transfer the stocks to distribution center plant 3333. i have to capture the freight costs here .from this plant they may do sale or transfer to another plant.but material should carry the batch no created in the origin Plant(ex 2221 or 2223) and also create a lot no for 3333 plant for their traceability.
    how to map this scenario in sap?? 
    Thanks
    rajan

    Yes You can use split valuation. You need to activate split valuation if you requirement to valuate the various stocks separately. That is if your requirement is that stock plant say 2221 should be valuated seprately and 2222 should be valuated separately.
    So,
    If your requirement is that every batch should be valuated at different price you can use batch valuation that is in material master accounting view slect valuation category as X ( Automatic- Batch)
    If your requirement is that from  every plant the material should be valuated at different price and you have seven plants then you can
    create in SPRO ( SPRO-Materials Management-->valuation and account assignment --> split valuation)
    Create  Category  as say P ( plant)
    Define Types as say Plant1, plant2.....
    You can go through following links which will guide you for the config if you want to create your own categories and the use.

    and also let me know the options if we can shutdown the Database for a hour.
    2) What i need to change from client, application site if we are moving database to different country.
    2) Know lets suppose we have new copy of database up and running locally, and the users
    and application are making changing. How can we make these changes (DML,DDL,DCL)
    to the actual live database when it will be up and running.

  • Interesting scenario IN FOUNDRY/CASTING INDUSTRY

    HI
    my client charges ammortization cost of rs  ea on finished product.
    ammortization cost is based on the tooling & die cast divided by number of pieces produced and also on the die life
    suppose the die cost is 10000 and finished goods produced will be 10000 ea so the ammortization cost will be 1 rs per piece
    so while doing invoice we have to capture amoortization cost in invoice
    suppose the cost of finished goods is rs 100 and order quantity is 100
    proo  =10000
    zamd= 100(ammortization cost) this is only for statistical purpose to calculate excise dutyzexc= 110    1100*10%
    zedu=    2
    zhse=    1
    total vale= 10113
    zvat=  405
    receivable from the cstomer=10518
    my problem i have to monitor the ammortization cost. the ammortization cost should not be applicable after the die life is over i.e after 10000 ea finished products are produced.
    for 10001 piece the ammortization cost should not be calculated
    CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE THROUGH CONDITION UPDATE
    regards

    Dear Rithvika
    Yes apart from ticking the Condition Update in V/06 for condition type ZAMD, you also have to maintain scale in VK11.  Once you maintain the price in VK11, you block that line item and press F2. 
    There under Scale quantity  maintain 10000 and in Amount  tab, maintain 100.  Save this and again come to condition tab and maintain the validity period to the tentative despatch date to be on the safer side.  If you want, you can extend the validity period at a later date, if need be.
    thanks

  • Interesting scenario on Partial Commit - Deletion of EO

    Hi all,
    Jdev Version: Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.7.0
    Business Requirement: Need to partially commit the deletion of one row (say Row-A) in EO and serialize another row (an addition say Row-B) for committing after approval.
    How we achieve this:
    Step 1 - Make the change in Row-A & Row-B on my main AM (AM1).
    Step 2 - create a parallel new root AM (AM2) and make the changes that need to be partially committed on the VO/EO in this new root AM (AM2) and issue commit on this AM (AM2).
    Step 3 - Now after the partial commit, am back to AM1 where I would like to serialize only the change on Row-B. So I call the remove() on Row-A and passivate.
    Step 4- On my offline approval page, I invoke activate to show the new addition Row-B for approval post which I can invoke commit.
    Issue we face: When we passivate in Step 3, the deletion of Row-A also gets passivated. As a result, this row shows up on my approval screen. On my approval screen, only Row-B should be displayed.
    Appreciate your inputs on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    row A will be deleted with the next commit the way you put it. My interpretation is you want to remove it from the collection in which case you would call removeRowFromCollection on the VO. Instead of what you are doing here I would consider a soft-delete in which you set a delete flag on a row instead of deleting or commiting it. You can then use a custom RowMatcher on a VO to filter those entities out in which case you only see those for approval that you need to see.
    For partial commits, I would use a different strategy. Create a headless task flow (no view activity just a method activity and a return activity) and have it configured to not share the Data Control (isolated) You then pass in the information for the row to commit, query it in the method activity (through a VO) update the VO and commit the change using the commit method from the DataControl frame (you get this through the BindingContext class.
    This is more declarative and reusable than creating an AM just for this purpose. However, keep in mind that the callingg task flow still things Row A is changed (as it doesn't participate in the commit. So what you do is to call row.refresh() and issue DB forget changes as an argument so Row A is reset to the state that is in the database

  • FSCM Biller Direct B2C scenario

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me whether Biller Direct can be used for B2C payment scenarios where the customer pays online BEFORE the invoice is generated?
    So the customer chooses the product, enters their credit card info (if needed) and confirms payment.
    Providing the credit card is authorised the backend system would go on to create the billing document, accounting document and clear the payment.
    regards
    Tim

    Tim,
    As far as I know in the B2C scenario biller direct will not support advance payments. Payment always has to be against an invoice.
    I hope this helps,

  • Bill to party should be pulled from ship to party.

    Hi
    I have scenario in which I want to pull bill to party from ship to party and not from sold to party in sales order. Business requirement have one sold to party say A . This sold to party has 4 ship to party say B,C,D,E.  Every ship to party has one Bill to party respectively say L,M,N,O.  This scenario is only for one customer and not for all. When ship to is entered in the sales order it should give options to select the bill to party .
    I want to know the config steps alongwith the name of the user exit (if it is required for)
    Thanks in advance.
    James.

    Before answering this question, I would like to thank Lakshmipathi for his compliment and James for this interesting scenario.
    Lets say your new ship to parties are 90 & 91.
    Lets say your new bill to parties are 110 & 111.
    So your new requirement is when you enter ship to party 90 or 91, bill to party 110 or 111 has to be determined from sold to party.
    Am I correct? That's how I understood your question(If this is not you are not looking for, please advise).
    In case yes, you  could do the following.
    In your sold to party record, partners Tab, enter the details of your new ship to parties and bill to parties.
    In sales order, enter ship to party and system would pop a box listing bill to parties. You can select one of the bill to parties.
    Once selected, system would populate sold to party record field.
    This is happening because when you enter ship to party record in sales order, system accesses sold to party from ship to party. Once it accesses sold to party, it lists bill to parties available in this sold to party record.

Maybe you are looking for
