How to cancel invoice documents in Background Jobs ?

Dear sd Gurus
i want to cancel invoice documents in Background Jobs .
I Have checked this link also VF11 (cancel invoice) in background job
But i did find Exact Way
Thanks a lot

Hi Madhuri,
I suggest you to use LSMW for this activity. Just do the recording, test it for one billing doc. If successful then run it for all billing doc which you want to cancel.

Problem related to Outbound Delivery creation via Background Job

Hi ,
We are using the program RVV50R10C for creating OBD incase of STO .
Z variant is created to take care of selection parameters which inlcudes Shipping Point , Delivery creation date , Calc Rule, Delivery priority and shipping conditions.
The job is scheduled to run for every 10 minutes .
As planned the job is running for every 10 minutes but the OBD are created after 1 hour .
What are possible causes of this error.?
Please note that there exists enough stock.
Regards
Ramesh Ch

I think you will have the same problem when doing it manually with VL10B.
The creation is based on entries in an index. there is a userexit where you can influence how and when an entry goes into the index. E.g. you can speed up the overall performance if you do not update the index all the time, instead you are doing this with a background job from time to time.
Check if this is the case in your system.
this note may give you some hints:
Note 356061 - Incorrect index compilation caused by own checks

Invoice creation in batch jobas are not in sequence

Hello ,
I schedule two batch job with diffrent variant at the same time. When invoices are created in batch job there numbers are not in sequence. If I check creation time then Invoice creation time of Invoice number 2 is latter than invoice creation time of number5.
As per number range concept Invoice 2 should create before Invoice 5.
Why this is happening?
Regards
RDC

> Thanks for the soon reply but here my legacy system is File it is having the fields like INV details and country key and customer details these details i want to send it to Target Ecc system based on the country .
Use File Adapter in sender side to read the data from Legacy System ,if the legacy system data format not XML then use File content conversion in Sender comuniction channel to convert in to XML.
> for exp: If the country is Us then create the vendor invoice in the Ecc system , if the country is IND then check whether the existed customer in the ECC system or not if Existed then those details update into one more legacy system .

You have to perfrom RFC Lookup in mapping level if the coiuntry is IND,anyway you are on PI7.11 so you can perform RFC llok to check the it is existed customer or not. search in sdn for RFC look up.
Finally use enhanced Receiver determination to determin receiver.
search in sdn you will get it hot to determine dthe receiver...everything..
the requirement not complex..

Creation of background job from SE38

hello all...
In the selection screen of my report program, there are two radiobuttons - read mode or update mode.
In read mode, the program reads an excel file and gives the output in teh form of errors, if at all, after some chekcs on this excel file.
In update mode, the program should check the excel file, get an internal table with errors from the excel file as well as run BDC for the correct records in excel file. So the output here has two blocks, first one - errors in excel file, second one - errors in BDC update.
But this update mode should run in background.
HOW TO CALL THE BACKGROUND JOB FROM THIS REPORT PROGRAMME when the update mode is selected??
Advance Thanks
omkar

Hi Vishal,
1. How are u running the BDC ?
2. If u are using call transaction syntax,
   then there is an extension to it.
    MODE mode
(See help F1 on call transaction)
The processing mode can take the following values:
'A' Display screen
'E' Display only if an error occurs
'N' Do not display
'P' Do not display; debugging possible
3. We can use N
4. N means, it won't display any screens
   of that BDC transaction.
5. It does not exactly mean the BACKGROUND JOB
   generated thru sm36.

Background job for invoice

Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, if not please advise which forum to post to.
We are dividing our background invoicing up in three steps in three different jobs.
1) Create only R/3 invoice (done in several jobs run in parallell) using program RV60SBAT
2) When job1 is finished we send Idocs (done in one job) using program RSNAST00
3) When job 2 is finished we post the invoices to accounting (done in one job) using program RVFAKSPE
How can we automate this, we need after step 1 is done (several jobs in parallell) automatically start step 2 (send idocs) then when step2 is finished start step 3 (posting)
Also, we would like to have this invoicing to be done every 16th of the month and last workday in each month. What is the best way to acheive this?
Kind regards

Hi
As this query is related to invoice , so you have posted in correct forum only.
Now coming to your query , As you are doing step 1 , step 2 & step 3 for different one so just maintain the schedule Job on &off timings for step 1 . Maintain on time for step 2 just after the step 1 off time . In the same way maintain step 3 on time just after the step 2 Off time
If you want to have invoicing to be done 16th of every month and last working day in each month then maintain a Factory calendar that invoicing date and working date is 16th and last month end and assign that factory calendar in XD02->sales tab->billing tab->Invoice list calendar (just above factory calendar feild), Maintain & Assign that factory calendar in that feild then you can achieve your requirement

Tcode to trigger a background job

Hi,
Can we create a tcode which triggers a background job?
Ezhil.

My User asked for a custom tcode for VF01 which use the copy control from the order and delivery and not allow any manual changes as it is done when the invoice is created in the background.
So he wants a t code trigger the creation of billing in the background.
The most critical requirement is to prevent the user from overriding or changing pricing conditions.
My question is
Is it possible to create a tcode which trigger the background creation?
What shall i tell user?

Configure background job for collective outbound delivery processing

Hello Gurus,
I want to Create a background job to be executed during off-peak hours for collective outbound delivery processing. will you please give me step-by-step configuration ?
thanks very much!

To set up a batch job for delivery creation use SM36 T-code.
Input batch job name say - ZSD_CREATE_DELY_SALES_ORG
Select class = C or B.
Set up by / created by = BATCHADMIN or your id
Program Name = WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
Varient = (as per your requirement - say for a particular sales area and plant)
Click on "Check" icon and "Save".
Go to the main page, select icon "Schedule a Batch job".
Give detils like daily, weekly or periodic or Immediate.
Enter date and time accordingly. Save it.
Same thing applies for Invoice creation batch job.
Use program name:RSBDCSUB
All other steps remain the same.
Hope this will help you out !

Prforma Invoice creation problem

HI,
We have intercompany sales flow. The flow is like, sales order will be created and for that a delivery will be created and an intercompany invoice will be created at first and after that a proforma invoice will be created with reference to the existing delivery.When we are creating the proforma invoice manually, we are able to create the proforma invoice without any problem. But when we are trying to create an proforma invoice through background job, we are facing the problem. When we checked in the billing due list also we are not able to find the pending documents for billing.
When we checked the delivery,we were able to see the status as not relevant for billing. But in the itemcategory definition, it is maintained as relevant for proforma invoice.
Can anyone help in finding out the reason why we are not able to create and invoice through back ground job.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
CS

Hi CS,
Please see the following information in note 301254 (Creation of billing index):
1. Relevance for billing (table TVAP):
Depending on the specification of field FKREL in table TVAP (Customizing
item category, Transaction VOV7), the system creates a billing index for
order-, delivery- or billing-reference. Without an entry, no
billing-reference exists.
If the billing-reference is 'D' (relevant for pro-forma), the system
does not set up a billing index. In this case, you can only use
Transaction VF01, however not VF04/VF06 to create pro-forma invoices.
You can create as many pro forma invoices as you like for a sales
order or a delivery because the billing status in the sales order or
delivery is not updated.
Note that items with relevancy for billing 'D' also occur in intercompany billing. If an item category is relevant for billing, that is TVAP-FKREL is not blank, and the plant belongs to a company different than selling company (linked to sales organization), then the item is automatically considered relevant for intercompany billing (VBUP-FKIVP = A). There is not a separate setting for item intercompany billing relevance.
I hope this information helps.
Kind regards,
Kelly

Automatic PGI and Invoice creation

Hi Friends,
I had a requirement in SD area where once we create sales order, the PGI and Invoice process should run in the background ( Automation Process). The scenario here is -- when we create sales order, the delivery document also gets generated.
My approach -- for PGI and Invoice process, I need to develop the BAPIs. ( for Post Goods Issue and Invoice creation).
After the creation of BAPIs, I need to call these bapis in the standard sales order creation process.
Searched the forum on this issue. But cant find the appropriate answers.
Please suggest me the solution for this issue.
Murali Krishna. T

You don't call anything else from the standard sales order process. Sales order creation stands alone; every other process is a subsequent process. Automatic delivery creation can be implemented by sales document type config, which it sounds like you already have in place, or you're using the delivery due list. You also don't need another program for billing doc creation; use the billing due list program scheduled at certain intervals.
The limitation on billing is the PGI if your copy control specifies that you can't bill until PGI occurs. I don't understand why you would do this automatically, without confirmation that the shipment has left your warehouse. If your items aren't really relevant for PGI, then you can configure them that way so that it's not required. However, auto-picking and auto-packing are done via delivery output determination code using the functions WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_*. You might also try to PGI the delivery there as well with WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE. Otherwise, just use table drop and trigger the WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE function for the PGI from a custom program; you can then run billing due as a second step in the job.

To Check whether Background Job ran or no

How can we programatically check in a program whether a background job ran or not for a particular output type of invoice ?? Pls help me out

Hi,
This will probably work.
report zkiran_0001 .
data: xtbtco type tbtco .
parameters: p_job type tbtco-jobname.
start-of-selection.
clear xtbtco.
select single * from tbtco
 into xtbtco
 where jobname = p_job
 and status = 'R'. " running
if sy-subrc = 0.
 write:/ 'Job', p_job, ' is currently running'.
endif.
Statuses....
Status of background job
The following statuses are possible:
Scheduled: Job defined, but not yet eligible to run even if the start condition has been fulfilled.
Released: Job eligible to be started as soon as the start condition with which it was scheduled is fulfilled.
Ready: Job waiting to start. The job has been released and the job's start condition has been fulfilled.
Active: Job is currently running and can no longer be deleted or reset to scheduled.
Finished: Job has been successfully completed. All job steps completed successfully.
Note: the background processing system cannot always determine whether an external job step was successfully completed. In this case, the system assumes successful completion.
Terminated: Job was ended abnormally either through user action or through an error in running a job step.
Internal codes for these are as follows.
btc_running LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'R',
btc_ready LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'Y',
btc_scheduled LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'P',
btc_released LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'S',
btc_aborted LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'A',
btc_finished LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'F',
btc_put_active LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'Z',
btc_unknown_state LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'X'.

I found the following info:
Open Job Scheduling Without Dialog (Including COMMIT WORK)
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
I think you will first have to use the JOB_SUBMIT statement like mentioned above

ATP as background job?

Hi everyone,
ATP is being a real struggle for us and we are for a required balance of not missing out on deadlines and improving the service levels if possible within the constraints. For a product not in stock it or available at a later date, the MAD comes in perfectly on the basis of the RLT or in house production time set up. It gives it's correct dates and are communicated - the system proposes the MAD, loading date etc on the basis of which the shipping personnel run the VL10C.
However, if, in a day or two (before the proposed delivery creation date), for any reason, we re-schedule a batch earlier or get returns for non quality reasons, the dates remain as they were (which of course, is the way it should be considering they were promised that way) but now, we are in a position to ship the goods out earlier. However, the shippers won't see it in VL10C as they would run it for their usual parameters.
How can we get around this? Assuming a big range of products and hundreds of orders a day, it isn't feasible to do a CO06 individually. Is there any way to re-run the ATP in the background or something and it's report gives us the changes the system made, the new proposed dates etc?
Or any other suggestions to handle these situations?
Appreciate any help or guidance for any more research or answers...
Many thanks.

Hi,
You can write a BDC program to open that order with the transaction VA02 and click the avaialbility check button once again. Based on that the availability check program will fire once again. You can run this BDC program as a background job!!!!!!!
If it helps give me points na!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding capturing VF01 ERROR logs in a background job

Hi ,
We are running a background job that calls transaction VF01 via BDC .
CALL TRANSACTION 'VF01' USING   bdcdata
                          MODE    S
                          UPDATE N
                          MESSAGES INTO gt_messtab.
In some cases billing documents will not be generated. In such cases systems will throw message "Check the log "
After which we can check the error messages via Menu Edit>logs.
This error messages (stored in XVBFS internal table) need to captured in the job log i.e custom programme.
Unfortunately i could not found any user exits/BADIs that can help me in capturing message.
Can you please help me how can i solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi Manoj,
I had a similar problem.
I solved it selecting from VBSK the last record of the user regarding elaboration of invoices, and then calling f.m. 'VBSK_ALV_DISPLAY'.
Otherwise you could call directly transaction "V.21"
Hope this could help you
