Dear SAP Experts,
We are implementing SAP CS for our customer and I faced the same error while Billing the Repair Order. I had made an error in assigning the Transfer of Requirements correctly to each of the item category in the Repair Order.
By SAP standard, the status of the main item of the Repair Order will be changed to "Repaired" as soon as the Service Order is Technically Completed (TECO).
I had wrongly assigned the same Requirement class to both the main item and also the repair item. So the system was expecting there were 2 service orders created for the main item and the repair item. So when I TECO'd the actual Service Order, the main item status was changed to "Partially Repaired" and not "Repaired".
So I corrected the Requirement class, and assigned the class SE to the main item and the copy of Requirement class 204 to the repair item.
This solved the issue and once the service order is TECO'd the status of the main item in the Repair Order changed to "REPAIRED".
Then I was able to invoice the Repair Order without any issue. So please check the requirement classes assigned to each of the sub-items in the Repair Order.
Thanks,
Siraj
