Billing Document and release to Accounting

Hi,
Please, does anyone could explain me why the process of billing and release to accounting can be executed in different steps ?
I need explain it to my key-user.
Best Regards.
Kleyson Rios.

HI
It depends on the business process
1.Before releasing to accounts if you want to check the value of the invoice and tax implication any changes required you are able to do before releasing once that is done then you can release to accounts.
2. Once the billing document has generated accounting document then you will not able to change any thing in the billing document
Iin configuration you can set the posting block for billing document by going to t code VOFA .

Reg: Billing document not released to Accounting -Error

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem in Billing.I am creating a billing document and while saving the document it shows up the error " Credit Control area 1200 not assigned to Company Code 1000".
I have checked the enterprise structure and everything regarding Credit Control Area exists in the system.
I am able to create the billing document and release to accounting for the same company code for different payers.
But this error occurs unique to a particular Customer's Billing Document alone.
Please do provide me a solution to this error.
Regards,
Sarosh

Hi Ravi
Check in the enterprise structure wheather you have assigned correct credit control area to the (sales orgn+ dist channel + division) to your sales area . or not
Secondly check in VD02 wheather you have assigned any wrong credit control area or not

Billing Document not released to Accounting -Issue

Hi,
While releasing the billing document,it is not releasing to accounting and giving the below error log.
Thanks
Supriya

Diagnosis
    When condition "ZSCM" (application "V") was transferred to the value field "VV139" in operating concern "AFCO" in Profitability Analysis, the following became apparent:
u2022     The condition can take both positive and negative   values
u2022     The flag "Transfer values with +/- signs" has not be set in Customizing for value field assignment.
    Inconsistencies in the data could occur as a consequence.
System Response
    It is not possible to post the document in Profitability Analysis.
Procedure
    Set the flag "Transfer values with +/- signs" for the condition "ZSCM".
    You should set the flag "Transfer values with +/- signs" selectively for individual conditions if:
1. The conditions can take both negative and positive values (for example, in the case of conditions that describe a transfer price surcharge or a loss deduction).
2. The conditions appear several times in a billing document and thus cause a debit posting as well as a
    credit posting (this is the case, for example, when creating or cancelling reserves).
By activating the flag "Transfer values with +/- signs", you balance the positive and negative values in a
condition. You can thereby guarantee that the sum of the negative and positive condition values is displayed as the correct total value in the value field assigned to the condition.
Caution when in the production system!
    If you have already used condition "ZSCM" to post data in the production system, then the sign in
    Profitability Analysis may differ from the previous sign as a result of the flag "Transfer values with +/-
    signs" having been activated. See the F1 Help documentation on the field "Transfer values with +/-
    signs" or the OSS note 52849. If deviating signs occur, it makes sense to move condition "ZSCM" to a new value field! Contact your system adviser or SAP.
    The +/- signs are handled as follows for the flag "Transfer values with +/- signs":
    Billing document (normal) "trans.with signs" "trans.w/o signs"
     Debit posting                   negative     positive       (such as sales deductions)
     Credit posting                  positive      positive       (such as revenues)
    Credit memos/returns    "trans.with signs" "trans.w/o signs"
     Debit posting                   negative     negative       (such as revenues)
     Credit posting                  positive       negative       (such as sales deductions)
    Maintain Condition Assignment to Value Fields u2013 SD Condition
    Maintain Condition Assignment to Value Fields u2013 MM condition
Procedure for System Administration

Billing Document Not releasing to Accounting because of Condition Type

Hi,
We have used Sales Condition Type ZSCM(Which is a statistical condition type) in Billing Documents and they are already released to Accounting.Today we have created one more Billing Document with same Condition type ZSCM.But this billing document is not getting released to Accounting?
What could be the reason? Why it was released to Accounting before with the same condition type ZSCM and why it is not getting released to Accounting this time.
I am breaking my head to find the possible reasons...kindly help me out to find the problem.
1.Billing document 90005889 - has value 64.48462- and It has only 2 Items and it was released to accounting
2.Billing document 90005729 - has value 217.87960- and It has only 21 Items and it was not released to accounting and asking to activate +/- sing in KE4I transaction for the ZSCM condition type.
Why billing document 90005889 is released for accounting and why 90005729 was not released to accounting?
Thanks
Supriya

Hi,
There can be following possible reasons fo the samed :
1. If the specific GL account is not getting any assignment to CO object.
2. Also you need to check assignment with VKOA that whichever GL is assigned as per business process of Sales (the account which is going to be credited) and all relevant settings in VKOA.
3. Pls check all substitutions and validations if any connected with that condition type and GL. Becuase sometimes it may happen that because of calling some other application (for ex. Set or substitution as generally transportation of this element happen with entire hierarchy if you add your substition in the node.) at he time of posting of billing document. This has already happen with our business scenario.
4. Also check if this sales revenue GL is assinged to any set and if that set is called through any substitution ot validation.
Pls check all these possibilities and revert.
Thanks & Regards,

Billing document not releasing to accounting

we unable to release Billing Document XXXXXXXX, the error massege is mentioned below.
XXXXXXXXXX 000000 Document XXXXXXXXXX saved (no accounting document generated)
XXXXXXXXXX 000000 Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "ZZZZZZZZ"
Can you tell me why this error is coming at the time of releasing the billing document to accounting? and suggest me how to solve this issue.

If the Cost estimate is based on sales order, then you have to settle all the costs of production order costs and sales order costs, then only you can release the document to accounting.

Billing Document not released to accounting

System is not allowing to release the document for accounting. and even after saving the accounting document is not reflecting in document flow.
Please suggest the needful as to how to fix this problem. The material master contains standard price . Please suggest where else I need to check.

Proforma Invoice is like a dummy invoice which is generated for accompanying the delivery note or for approximate prices for the Customer. This will not generate any accounting document. Later, these proforma invoices are converted to final invoices. Billing types are classified as proforma or regular. If your billing type is classified as proforma, you cannot generate any accounting document for the same.
In the billing type, if the 'Blocked for posting' indicator is checked, you cant generate accounting document either.

Link Between billing document and Accounting document

Hi,
Need the link between VBRK and BKPF.
Req to VBRK-VBELN = BKPF-XBLNR.
But length varies. Error occurs. Any other method to come for linking Billing document and accounting doc

hi Meenakshi,
Check with this i hope it will work
you can have the data from BKPF through fields like AWKEY and AWTYP and VBRK (vbeln).
in bkpf there is a field called AWTYP in which you have to specify 'VBRK',and you have split AWKEY depending o upon the vbeln .
bkpf-awtyp = 'VBRK'
bkpf-awkey = vbrk-vbeln
bkpf-bukrs = vbrk-bukrs.

Hi all,
We are geetting an error while the billing document is moving to accounting
the error is Please assign a Valid Material code in the Assignment Field

There are many reasons for document not flowing to accounting at the time of billing:
Please check the following:
Sufficient authorization is not available to release the document

Material cost estimate not found for the material considered in the billing document
Back dated entries try to post in the current period
Mistakes while creating the billing document
Account assignment group not maintained in the material master
Provide the error message number, it will be easier to find the reason for the problem and solution too.

Billing Document not posted to accounting

Hello All,
Billing Document not posted to accounting & throws error , if trying to release in VFX3:-
Document number 1001003528 in company code 0952 in fiscal year 2010 is affected
Message no. FF099.
Please advice.
Regards,
Vikas

Hello Vikas;
Maybe you are trying to post FI document which does not correspond to SAP standard.
Check if your document has 2 line items with the same tax code AA and tax
condition MWS (one tax rate 0% and 30 %, for instance). It must be either different
tax codes and or tax conditions.
Hope it can help.

Billing Document and Material Document number and Date (Goods Issue)

Dear Experts,
Is there a way I can find the relationship between a billing document and a material document number and Goods issue date?
Thanks

Hi Abid
Is there a way I can find the relationship between a billing document and a material document number and Goods issue date?
You have to follow the flow from the billing document to the material document. This will only work if the billing document comes from a delivery note.
Billing document => Delivery
LIPS-VBELN = VBRP-VGBEL
and LIPS-POSNR-VBRP-VGPOS
So you have LIPS + LIKP with the LIKP-WADAT_IST as the goods issue date.
Delivery => Material Document Number
You can use the table VBFA with the delivery item as the preceding document number (VBFA-VBELV) and item (VBFA-POSNV) ; you will also have to define the preceding document type as J (delivery) and the document category of subsequent document as R (material document).
Because in SAP nothing is simple, there might more than one material document, because the goods issue (601) movement might have been canceled and issue again. So you will have to decide what to do in that case.
Best Regards,
Franck

Billing Document and Material Document Relation

Dear all,
i need to know about the relation between Billing document and Material document.
Please let me know if there is any Function Module or Some View available to get these details.
my only requirement is to get only Material document From Billing Document.
Thanks In Advance.
Pradeep.

Hi
So the material document should be linked to the delivery
The document flow:
Delivery->Outgoing moviment->Delivery->Bill->FI invoinces
If you start from FI:
- Get the bill number from header data: BKPF-AWKEY
- get the delivery number from bill item VBRP-VGBEL
- get the document flow for the delivery: VBFA: here you can find out the material document

Billing document and invoice

Hi all,
What is the difference between billing document and invoice
Thanks,
Charles.

Hi,
Both are same in SD point of view.
In SD terminology we call as Billing Document and
In FI terminology we call as INVOICE.
In MM again only INVOICE will be there for Vendors.
Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment.

Billing Document and nota fiscal type

In ABAP program I need to create a Billing Document (VF01). During the creation I need to change the Nota Fiscal Type (J_1BNFDOC-NFTYPE) to include a number of nota fiscal (J_1BNFDOC-NFNUM). This number will be generated by another system. The NF will not print. How can I do that?
I created a nota fiscal type that allows the edition number of NF. It's Ok.
Is there a BAPI which manages the billing document and sign this change in the nota fiscal type?
How can I change the number of nota fiscal? Via call transaction in J1B2N?
Ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
