Component Detail in the Billing Document

One of our markets in Europe wants to sell an assortment of products under one material number (ABC in the example below). Per a requirement from our largest customers, they want the one item to appear on the Billing Document along with all of the items in the assortment. See the table below for an idea of what the invoice needs to look like. In this example, ABC consists of 2 cases of A1, 10 cases of B2, and 7 cases of C3.
Does anyone do anything like this? If so, can you please share the details of what you do? We want to avoid Variant Config.
Sample Invoice -
Material - Quantity - Unit Price - Extended Price
ABC - 1 - $100.00 - $100.00
---A1 - 2 - $20.00 - $40.00
---B2 - 10 - $2.50 - $25.00
---C3 - 7 - $5.00 - $35.00
Total - $100.00

HI Patrick,
Here in this senario you can try SD Material BOM.
you can cerate the material BOM with main item in this case the main role play by the Item Category grp. which we take in Material Master LUMF in Sales org.2 .
When we cerate BOM for this item all the sub item will explode in the sales order & same will happen in Billing.
In this type of BOM pricing happen at sub item level not at header level.
I hope this will help u.
Regards
Deepak

Error while saving the billing document

Dear All,
I am getting an Error- "No taxes on sales/purchase are allowed for account 870205 L002, AB is not allowed" when i save the billing document. when i go to the conditions tab under item data in the billing document after saving the document and try to view the detail for the discount condition type it shows that the discount condition type has a tax code AB assigned to it.
I am using the same pricing procedure in another company code where it works fine and I don't get any error. Besides here on viewing the same discount condition type there is no tax code assigned.
Can anybody explain what could be the possible reason?
I searched for the solution in the forum and came to know that if I go to FS00 and assign * to Tax Category under control data then it works fine and i don't encounter the problem after saving the billing document.
Although i have found the solution But what troubles me is that when the same pricing procedure works fine in the first company code without assigning * to the tax category then why do i need to assign * in the second company company code to be able to save the billing document.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak Joshi

First of all let me ask you to indicate the name correctly.
Secondly, the root cause to the issue what you have indicated is in FS00 and you need to compare the settings in both the company codes.
Finally, the issue is not because of your pricing procedure but because of some missing FI settings. Thats all I can say now based on the information you have provided.
thanks

How to rerun the costing in the Billing document.

Hi,
I am working for an client who belongs to Cable Industry, we are capturing the costing in the sales order and pricing is based on the costing.
We are capturing the pricing in Ek02, on this we are adding the profit margin.
As Copper price is always changes in some cases client want to charge more or less the difference amount at the time of creating the invoice. The sales order may partially delivered and billed. In this case also client want to change the price.
How can we incorporate the change of copper price in the billing document as i cannot run the costing once again in the sales order for the balanced quantity, and client want this calculation to be done by system itself during billing.And SAP has not given any provision to run the costing during billing document.
Kinldy suggest how to proceed further.
Thanks & Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
My client belong to cable industry, so copper becomes the major rawmaterial which changes daily.
So, sometimes based on the customer request if the invoicing is done after 3 months from the date of sales order
then we need to update the price at the time of invoicing.
In sales order we are running the costing and using the variant configuration Module in th project.
And after production at the time of invoicing client is asking to put the changed prices (Ex. Copper, GI Wire and PVC component) for which prices will be announced by the LME.
So, kindly suggest me how to re run the costing in the billing or is there any alternative to define separate condition types for Copper, GI Wire etc.
Awaiting for your reply,
Thanks & Regards,
Tilak.

Issue in the Billing Document from the Delivery.

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with date of the bill document. The date is taken from the date when the delivery was posted however the users want to change this date to the day that the bill document was created.
I don´t know where I can change this.
Thank you and best regards.
Thank you and best regards.

Hi,
While creating Billing Doc (T. Code: VF01), Mention "Billing date" as desired.
If you leave this field as blank, System will create Billing doc based upon Delivery date.
However, there is one more date ("Created on" in Header Data), where System records Document date as the date on which Billing Doc has been created.
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: If want to make changes in Billing date for already created Billing Docs.
Go to: VF02
Key-in your Billing Doc. No. and Go to Header Data (Edit --> Header --> Header).
There you will find Field: "Billing Date", which would be modifiable. Change the date as desired.
Imp: on the same screen, You may see the details like:
1. Payer
2. Created By:
3. Created on:
4. Time

Identify BOM Materials in the billing document

Hi,
We use sales BOMs and we need a way to identify that the material in the billing document is a component of a BOM. The sales order has a field VBAP-STLNR that gives the BOM explosion number so that a component of a BOM can be recognized.
Is there a way to identify a BOM component in the billing document ? There is a field VBRP-SERNR in the billing document, but this field remains blank for a Sales BOM.
Would appreciate inputs from the forum.
Thanks and regards
Rohit Zalani

hello, friend.
one way of identifying BOM components is by looking at the item numbers, but this depends on your configuration of line item numbering for doc types (look in VOV8).
normally, main or higher level materials are numbered in the tens, for example the first line item is 10, then the next is 20, etc.
if line item 10 material is a BOM, then the components would have line item numbers 11, 12, 13, etc.
in the sales order, you can tell if a material is a BOM or component by their item categories. i don't recall if the item categories are available in the invoice and i will get back to you on this. but if the item categories are available, then your problem will be solved.
regards.

Problem in releasing the billing document

When I am trying to release the billing document to accounting, I am getting the following error.
"Account XYZ requires an assignment to CO object".
What could be the cause of it?

Hi Christino,
Carefully think about it first as to which account groups belong to which chart of accounts (or which profit center groups to which controlling area).
Then call report ZECPCA11 for the respective top hierarchy node of a hierarchy of account groups (or profit center groups).
Enter the name of the hierarchy node under "Group", the name "RACCT" for account groups (or "RPRCTR" for profit center groups) under "Field" and the required chart of accounts (or controlling area) under "Searchf".
The "0H_Kennz" indocator should generally be marked (all groups that were created with the maintenance transactions in EC-PCA are technically stored as 0H sets in the database, that is, with prefixed "0H").
Report ZECPCA11 fills the T800S-SEARCHFLD field with the required chart of accounts (or controlling area) for all groups of the entered hierarchy.
After you have corrected all hierarchies this way, you should be able to maintain the account groups or profit center groups again.
You can find report ZECPCA11 on SAPSERV in directory /ftp/general/R3Server/ABAP/note.0042821 under the name "ZECPCA11.TXT". Alternatively, create the report from the 'Corrections' section using Transaction SE38.
For further more details, please refer the SAPnote 42821
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=42821
hope it will be useful. Appreciate with points if it useful.

Profit center document not generated after creating the billing document

Hi,
I have few billing document for which the accounting document is created, but no profit center document got generated. What could be the reason? The profit center is captured at the account assignment tab of sales order as well as at the item level of Invoice and in accouting document too. The only problem is it has not generated the "Profit center document". Pl help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
When you save the billing document then the accounting document and Controlling document gets generated.
A profit center gets captured and it can be used when we check the accounting document. But make sure that for the G/L accounts profit center is assigned and in your controlling area details also profit center is checked.While configuring controlling then the profit center should also be assigned . to the G/L accounts .So kindly check with the help of your FICO consultant wheather proper assignment has been done or not

Diffrence between the billing document and Invoice list

Dear all,
I have that we create the billing document from vf01 but there is invoice list also which we can create from vf21,so i wanted to know that whats the diffrence btw the these both?
Thanks & Regards,
Mohsin

Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.
This component includes the following functions:
Creation of:
Invoices based on deliveries or services
Issue credit and debit memos
Pro forma invoices
Cancel billing transactions
Comprehensive pricing functions
Issue rebates
Transfer billing data to Financial Accounting (FI)
The invoice list lets you create, at specified time intervals or on specific dates, a list of billing documents (invoices, credit and debit memos) to send to a particular payer.
The billing documents in the invoice list can be single or collective documents (collective invoices combine items from more than one delivery).
The standard version of the SAP R/3 System includes two types of invoice lists:
for invoices and debit memos
for credit memos
If you wish, you can process invoices, debit memos, and credit memos at the same time. The system automatically creates a separate invoice list for credit memos.
A payer may be the head office of a buying group, which pays all the invoices for goods that are shipped to individual members. The group payer takes responsibility for paying the invoice lists and then collecting payment from the individual members. In return for these services, the group payer usually earns a factoring or del credere discount.
Depending on the tax structure of the payer's country, the payer may be liable to pay taxes on factoring discounts that he earns. In Germany, for example, factoring discounts are taxed at the standard rate of 15%. During invoice list processing, you can reimburse the payer in advance for this tax liability by creating special condition records.

Not to allow to save the billing document in the back date if FI period clo

Can anybody help me please. My FI period for october is closed. But there are still some open delivery documents in billing due list for October. So now let say on 7th december if i will make the billing documents by giving the date 30.11.2007 logically as FI period is closed it will allow to save the billing document but will not pass to accounting.
So this normaly happening in my industry endusers are creating the billing documents in the back date even after the period close so all the documents come into VFX3.
So can any body help me? Can we have any check if the FI period is closed for a perticular months if we will try to make the billing documents in the closed period it will not allow to generate the billing document rather saving the documents and blocking for accounting.
Reggards.

Dear laxmikanta
I also not come across the situation what you said and hence dont have much idea about authorization group.
However, on going through the F1 help, it says
<b>Procedure</b>
    If only a limited set of users is to be able to post in a particular
    posting period, proceed as follows:
             o   Add the posting period authorization (authorization object
        F_BKPF_BUP) to the authorizations of the selected users. Assign an
        authorization group (e.g. '0001').
              o   Enter the account type '+' for the posting period variant to which
        the restriction is to apply. Enter the period(s) whose use is to be
        restricted in the first period, those which are available to all
        users in the second period, and the authorization group (e.g.
        '0001') in the last column.
<b>Examples</b>
    A posting period can be successively restricted. If, e.g. 10 users have
    the posting period authorization with authorization group '0001', and 3
    of these 10 users also with authorization group '0002'.
    If the period is only to be accessible to the 10 selected users the
    authorization group '0001' is entered in the posting period variant.
    Access can later be restricted to the remaining 3 users by entering
    '0002'.
From the above, I feel your requirement can be met.
Thanks

Error while releasing the billing document to accounting

Dear All,
I need your favor to resolve the below issue:
(System SAP SAP ECC 6.0)
User is getting the below error message while releasing the billing document to accounting in VF02:
This is an inter-company billing document (B. type : IV) created in company code 0151. Payer is "IC0186", verified the customer has been setup in 151.
Corresponding invoice has been successfully posted in company code 0186. (Partner : P0151)
User is able to post the inter-company document in 0151 using other inter- company partner (ex. IC0183). Therefore, seems that Document type can't be an issue here.
"Consolidated companies 151 and 186 are different
Message no. F5080
Diagnosis
The number of the affiliated company must be clear for the selected document type for all the line items. In this case at least two different companies or a company in connection with a business partner who does not belong to a company are stated.
Procedure
If you selected the correct accounts, you must enter the document with a document type that allows cross-company posting. Otherwise, please correct the entered account."
Could anyone please suggest what can be the reason, if any configuration is missing. Any help is this regard will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Praveen

Hi Murali,
Thanks for the prompt input, however as mentioned document type can't be an issue. Since user is able to post the document (same document type) using other inter-company partner in 0151.
Thanks,
Praveen
