Billing doc doubts

Hi Experts,
I just need to clarify my understanding for the following about what system does when billing doc is created:
1. DR posting on customer's Receivables Account : this account means the receivable account of the company that records which customer owes how much money to the company. Why the account is referred to as "Customer's " ? is it not belonging to the company with the SAP system?
2. CR posting on the Revenue account : this account means the company's account that records gross earnings.
This pair of postings have to happen together and not either one can be posted only right?
regards
John

Hi John
Yes your understanding is correct. Both should be posted at one go while creating invoice. Regarding your queries about customer account posting I will try to explain.
While creating invoice and transferring to accounting in the accounting document the debit line item is against the customer. This is based on the principle "Debit the receiver". In this case the goods are received by the customer and hence his account is debited. But as you rightly mentioned this should be referred to as the company's receivable account and this happens by assigning the customer account to a reconcilation account in the customer master- company code view. You can check the account against which it is posted by going to FD03 and putting the customer and company code. The recon account would be dispalyed. So the customer is further linked to this recon account and when a GL entry is passed while posting an invoice this recon account gets impacted.
Hope this explains your query.
Thanks

VF03 -Billing Doc doubt

Hi Experts,
Iam working on billing document (VF03).
If any user take print this document, the user name
should reflect(update) into NAST-TDRECEIVER(Recipient) table filed.
Can any one tell me how can i do?
Is there any userexit existing for this requirement?
Thanks
Rajani

Hi Rajani
For output condition to be generated, there exits output condition techinique which processes the output for billing document types.
Each output condition type is associated with ACCESS SEQUENCES, overhere we can add custom routines. Create one such routine via transaction VOFM to update the required field in NAST, attach this routine to the access sequence. Hence whenever an output type is generated this can be updated.
For more on this information, discuss with your functional consultant for the feasibility.

Some doubts in copy control from billing doc to invoice list

Dear all,
The value of allocation number in FI doc can be customized as: A (PO number), B (Sales order num.), etc.
But how can I make it to be assigned an alternative value (for example, we have do an add-on "invoice" then we hope our invoice no. be assigned here)? Is there an exit to do so? or how this happen (especially when SO's billed, then the FI doc has been generated already.) or how a creation of invoice list will changed the value of allocation number in former FI doc created by billing before?
Thanks to all,
James

Hi, thanks for you reply.
The business scenario as following:
The users create SO. Then post it (VF01) (billing doc and accounting doc. SO and billing is one-one relationship). But at this time, users doesn't generated the customized invoice to customer (also the customer may like to be invoiced with different SO). In order to do this, the user should do invoice list (VF21) to include former billing doc. At this moment, we hope we can update the allocation value in FI doc generated by billing before.
SO->Billing (FI doc generated) ->invoice list (Hope can update some fields in the FI doc).

ISA: Billing doc search

Dear guru's
The Billing doc search in the ISA searches both open and closed billing docs(Invoices, Credit Memos). How do I restrict to get only the open items in the search.
Thanks,
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
        Use the following logic.
Note : lit_isu_cont contains the list of isu contracts,lit_isu_cont-lv_vertrag.
SELECT belnr vertrag endabrpe bergrund abrvorg loevm
        FROM erch
        INTO TABLE lit_bill_data
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lit_isu_cont
        WHERE vertrag = lit_isu_cont-lv_vertrag
        AND ( bcreason = space
              AND loevm = space
              AND simulation = space ).
If sy-subrc = 0.
" Billing document exits ".
endif.
Hope this helps.

Error while creating Billing doc using VF01 for Debit memo req. from RRB

Hi,
I am creating billing doc for my Debit memo req. which is created using RRB(DP90, DP95).
Error message - Item 000010 does not exist.
When I debugged and looked into code it seems following lines are causing problem.
Program
LV60AA28
Line u2013 734
IF vbap-vkgru EQ vkgru_dyn_posten.
    IF vbap-aufnr IS INITIAL .
set AUBEL because it was overwritten by VBAP-VBELN
      vbrp-aubel = vbap-vgbel.
      vbrp-aupos = vbap-vgpos.
      vbrp-autyp = vbap-vgtyp.
This code was not in 4.6 system.
We have just migrating from 4.6 to 6.0 and facing this issue while testing.

First of all you should try to learn how to express in a public forum like this.
On your comments
Do some ground work from your end
why should I ?? if you want you can do ground work or any work. If you post a question, you have to hear patiently all suggestions and dont scribble whatever you want.
You should have some basic
   understanding of SAP ABAP.
You should have posted this question ABAP forum !!!!   Why without any sense you have posted in sales forum ??

Hi,
Have you checked what is the determination account determination log ? You can do this by entering in VF02 and select from the menu Environment -> Account Determination Analisys -> Revenue Accounts.
In this log you can see what are posting keys determined from the pricing procedure that should be posted in the FI document and determine very easy in which step the account was not determined.
After that you can maintain the correct account in VKOA transaction.

Error while releasing Billing doc to Accounting

Hi all
I am gettin the following error while releasing a Billing doc to FI-
Reconciliation account 240001 or short key 00 is not permitted
The Billing doc pertains to Export sales and the billing Doc type is Export Invoice. However the Customer Recon A/c is defined as 240000 which is for Domestic Sales. A/c 240001 stands for Export Sales. I am wondering why it is asking for the Export Sales Recon a/c. Does this has something to do with Alternative Recon A/c? Should I set an Alternative Recon A/c and check this? If yes, then should it be defined in SD or FI?
If any1 has come across this prob, plzz help me.
Regards

It is all Fi related, and should be defined by the Fi Consultant.
But by changing the sort key I think your error can be solved. But I don't exactly know your config settings to recommend any solution.

Account determination error in FI doc during SD billing doc posting.

hi,
when I create one billing doc ref to s/o,
I check account determination in condition type:
G/L account no.: 110000
Provision acc. : 120000
in FI doc,
should debit 110000 and credit 120000
but current status is credit 110000 and debit 120000
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
One of the following could be the reasons for the Account determination error.
Please check.
1.Incorrect account assignment group entered in the customer and material master
Resolution:Maintain correct account assignment group in customer and material master,Eg.External Domestic,Z1 - External Foreign,Internal Foreign,etc,.
2.GL account not extended to the respective company code.
Resolution:Extend the required GL account to the company code.

Billing document cancellation (VF11) the cancelled doc. is not getting automatically cleared against the actual billing doc.

Hi All,
In case of billing document cancellation (VF11) the cancelled doc. is not getting automatically cleared against the actual billing doc. no. Each time user has to clear the doc. manually. We have observed this issue after recent patch updation dated 22nd Feb’2014. Till 21st Feb’2014 the cancelled doc. has been cleared automatically against their respective billing documents.
Please guide.
Thank you.

Hi Gopi,
Please chheck SAP Note No. 1259505. It explains two ways in which SAP releases cancellation documents to FI.
OSS NOte 1259505 lists the possible causes from SD side &
OSS Note 309208 lists the possible causes from FI side.

Billing doc transfer from CRM to ECC debugging

Hello Experts,
I have made enhancement to the badi BILL_ACC_IF method ENRICH_ACC_DOCUMENT and would like to know the way to debug this code when the transfer of billing doc occurs (middleware). Is that possible? If yes, can you please let me know how?
Thanks,
--Jamie.

Hi Jamie,
    Sometime back I had these kind of issue, I was not able to stop the debugger at break-point.
For these type of things, I will write some simple code in BADI and you should have required authorizations. If you use this option, don't forget to remove the code.
   Write below some sample code at the place, where u want to start debug
   data l_exit.
    do.
      if l_Exit = 'X'.
         exit.
      endif.
    enddo.
    Here a process will be running conitnuously.
   Now go to SM50,
     select your process.
       From Menu select
             Program/Session
                 --> Program
                      --> Debugging.
        when you select this, the debugger will popup and cursor will be at above code. Now in debugger change the value of L_Exit to 'X'. control comes out from the do...enddo , and from here you debug it.

When I am going to release billing doc in VF02 system is giving error message
Customer 730 has no bank details of the bank type 0020

Billing doc cancelled

Dear Friends,
We are facing a major issue which is as follows:
A bill doc was cancelled. The doc flow of the original billing doc shows:
Delivery (Archived)-> Sale Invoice (Completed)-> A/cing doc (Not Cleared)
The cancelled doc is not coming in the above doc flow. What can be the reason that cancelled doc is not coming in the doc flow?
On the other hand the doc flow of the Cancelled doc shows:
Delivery (Same as above) (Status Archived)->Cancel Inv (S1) Status- Missing export data. (Transaction is domestic). Here also the original bill doc is not coming in the doc flow of S1. However the original doc is coming in the Assignment field in the header of S1. Again what can be the reason? We also want to clear the A/cing doc of the original Billing document. How is this possible?
Is there any T.Code for displaying J1ID?
Plz hep to solve these issues.
Thank you very much.

Go to VA03, key in the sale order reference and check the document flow. Let me know whether you could see the original billing document that was cancelled. If not, check in copy control whether you have ticked the box "Update document flow".
Is there any T.Code for displaying J1ID?
What do you mean by this ?? J1ID itself is a standard TCode.
thanks
