Billing document archiving

Dear all,
We have archived billing document using SD_VBRK in SAP 4.7. After the archiving, we can display archived billing doc in VF07, but the output option was disable. Which mean we can reprint the document.
Is any one have a workaround?
thanks a lot.

Hi Jess,
I am afraid I do not have very good news for you.  Once you have archived a billing document, you can view it, but cannot reprint it.  A lot of companies image their billing documents prior to archiving them so they will be able to reprint them if necessary.  One reason this functionality is not provided is that usually, the print program or layout has changed since the document was archived so you would not be able to provide what the original invoice looked like (which is usually necessary in a legal situation).

  • SD Billing Document Archive Issue

    Hi Guru,
    I have encountered an issue related SD Billing Document Archive.
    The issue is like below :
    In our system there is provision that we can Archive SD through ""Services For Object"" option in VF02.
    Generally the way we archive it is as below steps:
    1. Open a particular billing document through VF02 which need to be archive.
    2. Then we click on ""Pricing Condition Header"" -> It takes you to the pricing detail screen with "Output" button in the application tool bar.
    3. Then we click on "Output" button -> It takes you to the screen throuh which o/p of the billing document is configured.
    4. We set the following parameters for archiving
        output type = ZTR1
        Medium = Printing output.
        Function = BP
       Partner = desired partner number
    5. Using ""Further Data" button we set the Dispatch time to "4. Send Immediately (when saving the application)""
    6. Using ""Communication method" we set the Logical destination to LP01 and storage mode to "3.Print and archive" and Print Immediately option tick marked
    7. Press save button created a single spool in Sp01 with spool number.
    In spool there is saving only one spool with only 1 spool request type. (say the print preview of spool request type contains 3 pages in 1 spool request)
    But when i am viewing the archiving document through vf03/vf02 in ""Services For Object""  I am able to find for the same spool 3 separate pages is in archived document.
    when i tried to find out the reason by debugging setting the breakpoint in the driver prog configured in NACE. the debugging cursor is not stopping there...
    So Guru what might be the possible reason because of which 3 separate pages in being archived instead of 1 and  the cursor is not getting stopped at the o/p type's driver prog.
    Please provide some guideline so that I can resolve this..
    Thanks & regards

  • Billing Documents Archiving

    Hello Folks,
    Could some one let me know about Billing Output Archiving?
    I want to know the concept of  archiving, and whats the transaction code to view the archieved outputs.
    Points rewarded.
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi Krishna,
    Billing Output archiving?
    1. If you are looking for archiving Invoice document that is sent to customer then we can use concept Document archiving. Here we will archive this document and link it with the business application data.
    2. If you want to archive spool list of the billing output then we have to follow the print list archiving.
    3. If you are looking for archiving billing data from table VBRK, then we will follow data archiving.
    Concept of Archiving: Please refer to Archiving Management Guide which gives you clear information of Archiving concept. Please see this link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/8d/3e4e19462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
    Transaction code to view the archived output: There are various ways to get the archived documents.
    1. Archive Information System  --T.code is SARI
    2. Data Browser Relationship  --T.code is SE16 and
    3. Archive Index --- For Billing document T.code is VF07
    Hope this information will help you.

    I suggest you open that question in an SD forum together with the support package you run and if you have an industry solution or any business function sets activated or not.

    hi,
    the help says:
    You can use this business function to further optimize your electronic Sales and Billing Processes.
    Electronic data archiving regulations result in a high volume of data for sales documents and require invoices to be archived at an early stage. You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes more easily. Since you still have electronic access to archived invoices during the sales process, you can manage archiving without delay and execute further sales processes electronically.
    You can more efficiently use the rebate agreements from SAP ERP for your marketing activities. In particular, customers who use SAP CRM (Trade Promotion Management) with a large volume of data for campaigns, target groups, and product segments can define a custom-made logic for their rebate determination and thus avoid potential database problems.
    Integration
    To implement the logic for rebate processing in SAP ERP, you use the Enhancements for Rebate Processing Business Add-In (BAdI). For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under  Sales and Distribution  Billing  Rebate Processing  Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)  Enhancements for Rebate Processing .
    Prerequisites
    You have activated the Logistics: S&D Simplification (SD_01) business function.
    Features
    You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes as follows:
    Create sales documents with reference to archived billing documents, such as credit memo and debit memo requests.
    Display archived billing documents.
    When you do either of these steps, the system first looks for the invoice in the database and then in the archive.
    For the sales employee, the processing steps are identical, regardless of where the sales document is stored. As soon as the sales employee processes an archived billing document, they see the relevant information in the message line as well as in the title of the function.
    For rebate processing, you can store your company's check logic in the interface of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhancements for Rebate Processing.
    So check if you have activated the business function.
    I hope this helps.

  • Archiving Billing documents

    HI Colleagues,
    Needs your help on the below issue.
    Some of the old Billing documents were not archieved, supposed to be archieved as they are in 1998 and 1999. When I checked the spool for analysis and found the below information.
    Example:
    Doc. 0090000000     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
    the document is not complete
    Doc. 0090000001     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
    the document is not complete
    Doc. 0090000003     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
    the document is not complete
    Verified documment flow for those billing docs and found accounging documents were cleared and overall status shows completed.
    What could be the reason only few documents were not archived.
    Appreicate your inputs as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Vamsi P.

  • EL37 showing unreversed & archived billing document related MR??

    Dear Friends & Gurus,
    We are in the process of archiving billing & print documents. During the testing, it was realized that T. code EL37 (Reverse Meter reading) showed an archived billing document which was never reversed. The understanding is that EL37 should only show reversed billing documents So does this anomaly/issue occurs due to archiving or some other reason?
    Appreciate feedback ...
    thanks in advance,
    Anand

  • Mass Archiving of outgoing Billing Documents

    Hello Guru's,
    I need your expertise in the following scenario.
    we have a production system in which we have over 126000 billing documents created in 4 months span.
    when the users issue output, the storage mode in the output type  should be "print and archive". in this case, we will have a copy of the printed billing document will be archived and as an attachment to billing document in sap.
    But the users by mistake, chose the option as "print" only. which means that we dont have a copy of all the billing documents in the span of four months archived.
    i have learnt that we can issue bulk or mass output for billin documents using transaction VF31.
    can i use this transaction by creating an output type used only for "Archive only" and process it?
    has anyone faced this issue and solved it successfully? please tell me in detail all the steps and precautions to be taken care for this scenario.
    waiting for your quick reply.
    Regards,
    Bharat

    Hi,
    Please follow below steps to solve your problem.
    I think you don't have to create a new print program with "Archive Only" functionality. As I understood from your post, the existing output type itself can handle both print and archive options. The issue user has done was, he has selected only "Print Only" option in the condition master record (Transaction VV31) under Button "Communication" and field "Storage Mode"
    Therefore please do below with the same output type.
    - First identify all billing documents relevant for your mentioned time period using table VBRK
    - Create a simple LSMW to do below steps.
      -> Repeat the same output type (Or even add the same output type again).
      -> Under "Communication Method" button, Select the "Storage mode" as "2- Archive Only".
    - Then use transaction "VF31" to execute your output type with "Transmission medium" = 1 and processing mode = 1.
    Then system should only do archive without printing. You should be able to see the archived billing output under attached document button in the billing document.
    You can do a simple test in this manner for couple of billing documents to make sure everything is working as per your requirement.
    Hope this help to clarify your doubts!
    Best regards,
    Rahal

  • Reverse billing document on an archived delivery

    Do you know how this would be possible? I have a billing document that i would like to reverse but am unable too because the delivery has been archived.

    Hi Challes ,
    This is not possible. You need to reload that delivery before reversing the Billing Document. After that you can again Archive that delivery.
    Hope this helps to you!!!!!

  • Regenerating output for archived billing document

    Hi,
    As TCODE=VF31 can not generate output from archived billing documents, I would kindly ask you if is there any other alternative standard SAP way to do it ?
    Thanking in advance for your help, best regards
    Joseph Sangoi

    You cannot print from archived documents as archived documents have to remain unchanged. Printing will create new NAST records for your document which is not possible for archived data.
    You have to care about such requests prior to data archiving. You need a general strategy e.g. printing into an archive (setting in your message conditions), which is optical archiving and often mixed with data archiving . Those optically archived invoices can be reprinted at any time.

    Diagnosis
    The billing document you specified does not exist.
    This document was possibly archived.

    Hi Panda,
    If your Billing document is archived then you can see that document by different screen:
    1. Goto SARI -->Click Archive explore --> Mention SD_VBRK -->then enter the billing document no in the billing no selection field. This will help.
    2. Goto SE16 --> Enter Billing document no in proper selection field then billing document is displayed.
    3. Goto VF07 --> Enter Billing document no in proper selection field then billing document is displayed.
    Hope this will help you.

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply
    i am getting an issue while executing SARA
    i have created a variant for the  object SD_VBRK and executed it in write program
    I am getting below error
    No variants have been maintained for the delete program. Consequently, the delete program cannot be run.
    System Response=>
    It is only possible to run the delete program if you have maintained variants for the delete program in both test and production modes in the Customizing settings. You must also ensure that these variants actually exist.
    If the delete program is to be triggered automatically by the write program, you must have maintained the variants for the delete program
    Procedure=>
    Create a test mode variant and a production variant for the delete program in the archive object and maintain the Customizing settings for the archiving object.
    In transaction AOBJ,  select the relevant archiving object and choose: Customizing Settings -> Delete Program Settings: Test Mode/Production Mode.
    Or in transaction SARA choose: Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: Technical Settings
    i tried doing Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: Technical Settings...dint find any option to control
    And also i dint find anything to maintain variant in delete Program
    Could you please let me know how to fix this.....do i need to do any config to fix it.

  • Billing document reversal

    Hi,
    A reversal for sales docs was carried out in our system. The billing document was reversed using VF11. This was done successfully. Goods movemnent was reversed using VL09. This was also ok. The delivery was then deleted using VL02N and the original sales doc was deleted using VA02. So far so good. Now, when I check the invoice using VF03, the document is still there. Using VF11 to cancel it shows processing status as Incorrect. Error log states that document does not exist. If it doesn't exist then why is it opening in VF11? Document flow for this shows that the delivery document is archived. The invoice is showing as completed and the subsequent accounting document is still showing with a status of cleared.
    Incidentally, when the reversal was first carried out we initially tried to reverse the accounting document. The system would not let us do this and gave a message that the doc had not been posted from financial accounting rather it was of type 'Billing document' and to reverse the original document, i.e. the invoice. So this was done, resulting in the current situation. How can this be solved? Please help. Thanks.
    Regards
    PS. I have just checked that the reversal invoice (S1) is still showing as open in the system. When I try to release to accounting it gives a message that automatic clearing of billing document and canc doc. not possible and posting period 004 2008 is not open. Please help.

    HI,
    Even though u cancel the invoice but still the document will be existed. When u cancel the invoice it will gerenate one more cancel billing document number..
    If u look at document flow it will show one is invoice number and the other one is cancel invoice number..Any how there will be two documents one is normal invoice and the other one is cancel invoice....
    For cancel invoice it is not posted to accounting that is the reason its showing open..
    As per your error, the billing date of cancel invoice is showing paste date that was already posting closed for that peroid..Thats why it is not posting to accounting..
    if u want the u have to open that posting peroiod with the help of FI consultant then post it..
