Invoice creation-Billing block doubt

Hi,
I have a scenario where the sold-to party & ship-to party is ABC and bill-to party & payer is XYZ.
Sold-to party is blocked from creating invoices in XD05. (Billing block). Bill-to party and Payer doesn't have any block.
When I try to create invoice for a contract which is having above scenario, I am getting error "Document is blocked for billing" (Contract doesn't have any blocks)
I know that if we set billing block for customer in XD05, he will not be able to create any invoices. But Bill-to/Payer doesn't have any block. So SAP doesn't consider this point when blocking customer for invoicing.
Thanks,
Dattatreya N R

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Thanks for your reply.
Does Standard SAP takes into account only sold-to party into account when creating invoice. Because in the above scenario only sold-to party has block. Bill-to party and payer doesn't have any block.
We have not blocked the bill-to party or payer from paying for the invoice.
Because as per my understanding the main partner function while creating invoice is payer. Ans since in the above case payer is not blocked, will it not allow to create invoice.
Just want clarification regarding standard SAP behavior with respect to invoice creation.
Thanks,
Dattatreya N R

In 2nd line i have maintained values for ZF2 customer invoice with Rule in billing plan/invoice plan "05" and Date description"0008-Closing Invoice". with billing block "02" and fpr value RS1000.00
2. I have created FAZ invoice   for Rs 500 and posted the same in F-29 and posted the document .
3. I have created delivery and completed PGI for the same
4. Removed the billing block and tried to create ZF2 customer invoice , the invoice is created with "ZERO" value .
Also tried by changing by Rule in billing plan/invoice plan "03" and Date description"0008-Closing Invoice". with billing block "02" and for value RS1500.00. In this case the invoice is created for Rs 1500.00.
As per SAP Std , while creating ZF2 invoice . TWO line items should created

Note : I have not changed any configuration settings and am using the same SAP settings .
Kindly help me on this issues with your valuable inputs as i need to deliver the same today .
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi all,
I'm have exactly the same scenario and am getting exactly the same results, trying to get things working with the standard settings first of all:
As an example, I have a Billing Plan at Header Level which has two billing plan items tems (there is only a single order item):
The Net Value is 255.08
Bill Date         DTDS                                        Value   Bill Rule          Bill Status     Date Cat        Bill Type
15.06.2011     0009     Down payment    50.00      5     C     04     FAZ
15.06.2011     0008     Closing Invoice    255.08      3     A     02     F2
My FAZ Bill Doc has been created and the down payment has been posted in F-29 and is therefore cleared. However, when I remove the bill block and create the F2 invoice, based on SAP help I was expected two items, one for 255.08 and one containing the cleared downpayment. However, I only see a single item for 255.08. Condition AWZR is not shown in the pricing either.
I've checked and double checked the confiig settings on the SD side (copy control etc), my FI colleague says things are correct on his side. Am I missing something very obvious here? Should my F2 billing doc contain two items or do I post the F2 billing document and the FI side deal with things?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Proforma Invoice program ---delivery related with billing block on SO

Hi,
I need some help on Profoma Invoice--delivery related.
I have created a Sales order with Billing block, then created delivery and picking,handling but no PGI.
Now I am trying to create a Proforma invoice for delivery (before PGI ),
I can create the Proforma invoice manually using VF01 by selecting the document type and by delivery number input in the docs selected.
But I want to create the proforma for the above mentioned scenario using batch job, I have tried both RV60SBAT and SDBILLDL but both of them are not working.
Both the program are fetching delivery for proforma creation if PGI is done (Even though the billing block is set on Sales order)
or Billing block is not there on Sales order if PGI is not done.
Thanks and Regards,
Ananda

Hi,
The programs below are for the specified transactions below.
"SDBILLDL" program is for the transaction "VF04" which is for creating the Final invoice(Original Invoice) i.e. Billing due list.
Where as "RV60SBAT" is for the T.Code "VF06" which is for creating the invoice in background.
So these two programs will not create proforma invoices.
Incase if you have only proforma invoice not final invoice,then maintain this proforma invoice type in "VOV8" T.Code under order/delivery-related billing.thwn you can create Proforma invoice by using Vf04/VF06(By using these programs).

Krishna.

Excise Invoice creation error -Billing document does not exists

Dear Experts,
I have created supplementary sales order, billing with refernece through sales order by VF01.
Now I want to create Excise Invoice but system gives error Billing Document does not exists
I have checked billing document in VBRK table & it is showing in table.
My item categroy is L2N -and set it to C
I have assigned Billing type under Outgoing excise invoice ->Assign billing type to delivery type still my excise invoice is not generating.
Pl. guide me.
Thanks
Trupti

Resolved my problem.
Actually in Billing item categroy if you put SD Doc. Catg. as M you can do excise invoice even if you have not created the
outbound delivery.
So cycle will be Supplementary Sales Order->VF01 with ref. to SO->J1IIN -Excise invoice creation.
Thanks to all.

Creation of excise invoice before billing document

Hello Experts,
Our user is creating excise invoice for xyz material (own manufactured products) dispatched from the plant after creation of the commercial invoice.
Now it is required to create the excise invoice before creation of billing documents.
How this is to be done? suggestions please.
Regards,
Raj

First, U Need to Change the SPRO Setting Like Below:
In VTFL, you should maintain both copy controls for
u2022     Delivery (LF) --> Proforma (F8)
u2022     Delivery (LF) --> Commercial Inv (F2)
Once you do PGI, in VF01, you have to select manually the billing type F8 and save the proforma. Based on this proforma, when you access J1IIN, system will ask for Billing document reference where you can input proforma reference.
Creation of Proforma Invoice is required for the creation of Excise Invoice for Sale.
The transaction codes are :- VF01 :- for creation of Proforma Invoice
                                          VF02 :- for change of Proforma Invoice
                                          VF03 :- for display of Proforma Invoice
While creating Proforma Invoice the Billing Type to be changed to u201C Pro Forma Invoice for Delivery u201C as shown in the screen shot and then Delivery Number to be entered in u201CDocument u201C field . After executing and Saving the transaction Proforma Invoice will be generated.
So restriction in Authorization is required to allow only Billing Type u201C Pro Forma Invoice for Delivery u201C for those who will prepare Proforma Invoice .

Setting up Billing Block for SALE ORDER during Invoice cancellation

Hi,
I have a requirement where in i need to set the billing block(VBAK-FAKSK) while saving Invoice cancellation document. Please suggest some user exit or BADI during Invoice save so that i can set the billing block in sale order header data.
Thanks in Advance,
Raghav
Moderator message: please do your own research before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jan 12, 2011 2:59 PM

Hi,
You can try TCode V.00
This transaction when executed will give you the list of all the sales documents blocked for delivery per sales organization. There are various other criteria which might be useful. This transaction will allow you to edit each sales document.
If this is not the one that you want, then perhaps you might have to develop one.
Thanks

Not working Billing Block functionality for Invoicing Plan

Hi Experts,
I am using Invoicing plan functionality to purchase materials by using Milestones from Network of Project System. The system is allowing to post Vendor Invoice (MIRO) without removing of Billing Block of Invoicing Plan from PO and the system should give error message because of non removal of Billing block.
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of PS.
1. Assigned Date Category to Invoicing Plan Type (30)
2. Assignment of Invoicing Plan Type to Network Profile
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of MM.
1. Assigned default date category to Partial Invoicing Plan type
2. Maintained Date category to Invoicing Plan type
3. Assigned Date proposal category to Invoicing Plan Type
4. Maintained Date Proposal to Invoicing Plan Type
What are the changes needs to do in configuration or transaction to prevent to post vendor Invoice because of nonremoval of Billing block from Invoicing Plan?
Please give me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Rao

Hi Rao
You need to have the invoicing plan done in Project System (PS) under the project with Milestones and save the plan. On dong this, the system would generate a 'Reference Number'. This can be seen when you again go to the invoicing plan.
Use this reference number in the MM invoicing plan to link the PS & MM plans. This would create a block automatically in MM which can be lifted only on confirmation of the appropriate Milestone in PS.
Hope this helps

Billing block on order with proforma invoice

Hi,
In our process, we take on new customers who need a pro forma invoice to pay us but often the final amount varies from what was initially expected. There is no delivery and the Proforma will create from the order. However, we will correct the order with the final quantity (service time) once the customer visit ends. e.g. an order was $100 and the pro forma invoice was sent for $100. it turns out the final service was for 150 - the customer at the moment pays only 100 but will pay the rest when we send the bill. Once the service is complete the order is corrected to 150. The volume is high so we have billing jobs running to create the invoices from the orders.
Exploring 2 options:
1. To make the correction, we want an automatic billing block put on the order once a proforma is generated. When the order is corrected subsequently, we will remove the block too. If it can't be done automatically, then 2 below:
2. One can't generate the pro-forma if there is no billing block on the order. This is to prevent the person responsible to print it if he/she forgets to put the block
Either of the 2 scenarios will work for us. Is there any user exit which can do this?
Thanks a lot.

If you are handling these orders with a different order type, then just default the order with a billing block"Review pending" using OVV3, don't assign this block for the Proforma invoice, but assign it to the regular invoice using OVV4 .
Then you can always make sure that a billing block exists on the order before the proforma invoice gets printed.
Option 2. If you are not using specific order type for the process.
In this case think about assigning the billing block for the orders that are being placed by the new customers, try to figure out a logic to identify the new customers..
On the whole, <b> If possible</b> I feel its better to assign the default order block rather than creating a new program to assign the BILLING BLOCKS for all the orders that have Proforma Invoices printed and run this program in Background every day or twice a day when ever required..
Let me know if you need any more help

Ajai.

Billing Block removal not updated in the sales order change log

Hi Gurus,
A specific Billing Block is automatically assigned to the sales document header (VBAK-FAKSK) when the net value of the sales order is negative. This is an order related billing.
Sometimes the Billing block is getting released automatically and the Negative Invoice is getting created in the Background job run for creating the invoices. When we check the sales order, the Billing block is not existing and the removal of the billing block is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order.In the CDHDR table also there are no details about the release of the billing block.
This is happening only occassionally. When I tried to replicate the issue, the system is not allowing me to create the invoice as long as the billing block is there in the sales order and if I remove the block, it is recorded in the sales order change log.
My doubt is.,
1. How the billing block is getting released automatically?
2. Even if the block is released, why it is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order?
Looking forward your for suggestions and solutions.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
Did u check in sales doc. details screen.There u can block for billing.

Copy control from Sales order to Delivery field FAKSK (Billing Block)- VTLA

Hi All,
I'm facing a standard issue, inputs and resolution from you would be appreciated,
Issue is, If we put the Billing block in Sales order header this should not allow us to create an Invoice, But in my examples i can create the Invoice without any errors!
The billing block from SO will be copied into Delivery header? if yes this will definitely not allow in my cases to create an Invoice, but i cannot see the Billing block copied into my Delivery! any Copy control settings missing?
Why the Invoice will not check the Billing block from Order while creation?
Thanks and best regards,
Siddaram

The billing block from SO will be copied into Delivery header? if yes this will definitely not allow in my cases to create an Invoice, but i cannot see the Billing block copied into my Delivery! any Copy control settings missing?
Check Copy settings in VTLF tcode. Target is your delivery type. Source is your Sales Order type. Double Click to see Data transfer. Click on the small icon in field Header Data. Find your routine number and select source text. Look at the code if there is mention about LIKP-FAKSK field. You don't have ABAP, search the forum or google on how to comment it on your own to remove this data transfer.
Why the Invoice will not check the Billing block from Order while creation?
Check Copy settings in VTFA if it is Sales Order to Billing or VTFL if it is Delivery to Billing. Do something like above to find routines. But this time round is to check Copying requirements not data transfer and it can be at billing type level or at item level. If no check on VBAK-FAKSK field, you can copy the standard routines or make modification to customized routines to build the requirements checks. If no ABAP, search google on how to change routines.

Billing block is greyed out

Hi Friends,
Businmess does not want to create invoice for sales order. So they went back and cancelled the invoice, now in VA02 sales order billing block is coming greyed out.
Why it is coming greyed out?
How can I put billing block to the sales order?
Regards
Ashu

In normal circumstances, once you have generated a billing document and cancelled, you can still be able to assign billing block which would be in editable mode only. I feel, in your case, some exit is applied. Alternatively, you can assign Reason for Rejection for that line item.

Excise invoice creation incase of price increase

Dear all,
I am facing a problem in case supplementary billing scenario at my client's place.
Some times price of the material increases and that price will be effected from past date.Then a supplementary excise is created with values consisting of
Differential value + 16% excise on differential price + 2 % Ecess + 1%Hecess + sales tax against all the effected invoices previously created.
" Differential value = (New Price - Old Price)*(total invoiced quantity of the material from effected date to till now ) "
How can i create excise invoice in sap for this case, where there would be no goods movement..
With the help of my abaper i can create debitmemo with this pricing structure with some modifications in program for VFRB - Retro-Billing by individual invoice wise.
But my client is asking for excise invoice creation for this scenario but not debit memo.
Pls guide me the way to do this scenario.
Thanks in advance
Kartheek N

Hi,
We also have same scenario and we done work around for this solution.
Suppose i have
Base Price 1000
ED              160
ECESS         32
SECC            16
Based on the above we made Billing document VF01 and Excise Invoice through J1IIN. After sending the material there is price change and you require to raise suplementary invoice for the same, in that wat you required to do is
1. Create Sales Order with referene to main billing document
2. Create Billing document with refernce to sales order and note that the Billing category is M becasue as per standard SAP billing category M and U are only relevent for Exicse Invoice cration.
Through the above you can rraise the invoice.
If it helps provide rewards
