Item cat -billing relevance

HI,
IN VOV7 what is the diffrence between
Billing Relevance B/C/F
B     Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty
C     Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty
F     Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice qty
Pl suggest

Dear,
B - Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty
Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
C - Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty
Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
F - Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice qty
Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a  customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
This process can also be related to the quantity of goods receipt.
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
In Customizing, choose
Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item,
then select an item category.
Best Regards,
Amit

  • Third Party Orders not appearing in billing due list. Item Cat billing rel 'F' & VTFA Billing Qty E

    I had a requirement to do my customer billing for third party scenario before doing the invoice verification.
    The solution that was proposed was to make the following changes,
    In VOV7 (For TAS )item category the billing relevance should be (G) and
    in the copy control VTFA  at item level  for item cat (TAS)maintain the billing qty(E).
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/3522580
    The problem I faced with the above config change was that nothing was appearing in the billing due list and when I tried to do a billing from the order directly, it would not let me.
    Then I made the following change,
    In VOV7 (For TAS )item category the billing relevance as (F) and
    in the copy control VTFA  at item level  for item cat (TAS)maintained the billing qty(E).
    Now after the MIGO is done based on the PO, the system allows me to do a customer billing from the SO before the invoice verification. But still this SO is still not appearing in the billing due list. Have any of you experts faced the same problem? How can I get this to appear in the billing due list? Or in other words, how do I identify open third party sales orders that are due for billing?
    Thanks and regards
    ES

    @ Joan, in that case invoice verification would now be necessary anymore right? In my case i need the invoice verification to happen...but at a later stage
    With the existing config...i.e. F as billing relevance and E as billing quantity, I now tried doing a MIRO immediately after the MIGO and then it appears in the billing due list. So basically I think its the billing relevance F...and if I want it to come in VFO4 before MIRO, perhaps a tweak in the logic of VFO4 to include billing relevance F + billing quantity E ?

  • Item category Billing Relevance

    Hi All
    Can i exactly understand what is the exact impact on the system for the Billing relevance in the item category?
    If I set it as 'B' -Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
    If I set it as 'C'- Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
    I could not understand the impact of the Billing status.
    Lets say for eg. If I raise an order for 10 Nos. & deliver 8 Nos & bill what would be the status of billing if I choose "B" & what would be the Billing status if I choose "C".
    Looking for your feedback
    Thanks & Regards
    Aravind

    HI there,
    Option B: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
    Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
    Option C: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
    Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
    For eg: You order 10 quantities. But you create 2 partial deliveries of 5 each. If option B is selected, system considers order quantity 10. If option C, then it considers target quantity 5.
    Hope this clarifies.

  • The item is not relevant for billing. 3rd Party Sale

    Hello, experts,
    I have met a problem in 3rd party sale scenario. Here is the situation:
    1. I have created a sales order using a 3re party item (item category: tas and billing type: order-related billing). And the PR is generated successfully at the schedule line level.
    2. In the next step, I have created PO with reference to this PR.
    3. As in my situation, the items are sent to customer by vendor directly, there is no need to maintain MIGO and MIRO.
    4. I try to creat billing with reference to the sales order and here appears the error. The log shows:
    "The item is not relevant for billing."
    There are actually many threads in the forum and I have tried much of them.
    I have checked firstly in VOV8 the sales order type->the order-related billing type for OR(standard sales order) is F2.
                                            VOV7 the item category type->tas billing relevance: F (order-related billing)
                                            VTFA the copy control->F2 with OR and in the item level, the item category tans is also maintained.
    I can not decide where the problem is. Any idee?
    Thanks,
    Fan

    Hi
    3. As in my situation, the items are sent to customer by vendor directly, there is no need to maintain MIGO and MIRO.
    This statement is absolutely wrong
    MIGO is optional in third party transactions and MIRO is a Must
    Third party item cat billing relevance is F
    F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
    Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a  customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
    Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
    This is the SAP explanation of F billing relevance
    Maintain the copy control settings in VTFA as suggested by the other friend
    Without MIRO you cannot invoice the customer in third party

  • Billing Relevance in item category

    Hi All,
    I have to create a proforma invoice immediately after sales order is created for the item with  item category TAN.
    1. Now when I am trying to create a proforma invoice F5 for sales order in VF01 the system allows me to do so which should not happen since billing relevance for TAN is A i.e. delivery related biling document.Please let me know why is this happening.
    Item category billing relevance determines whether an invoice is to be created from an order or delivery then how come this is being allowed.
    2. lso, since I need to create a proforma invoice after sales order then do I need to change the item category to say ZPRO with billing relevance as D and then create proforma invoice.
    Once proforma invoice is created then again change the item category back to TAN, create delivery and bill.
    Is this the right procedure or there is some way to do it.
    Thanks and Regards
    Gaurav

    system allows me to do so which should not happen
    If you have maintained VTAF copy control for sale order to proforma, then system will allow.  Check whether you have maintained.
    since I need to create a proforma invoice after sales order
    Here I am not clear.  When in first statement, you say it should not happen here you say you need to create.  Please note if you want to create proforma against sale order, you need to maintain copy control as suggested above and also you need to maintain commercial invoice type to your delivery in VTFL, so that system will allow you to create both proforma and commercial invoice.  No need to change the item category which is not standard.
    thanks

  • Billing Relevance Vanishes

    Hello,
    I created a sales order with Item Category TAN (ZTAN in my project) and billing relevance as "M". I created delivery and suddenly billing relevance vanishes in the sales order. Could you please provide me the solution please?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    hello, friend.
    billing relevance M is used mostly for batch determined items.  this is how it works...
    if batch of a material is determined in the delivery, the main line item will have delivery/picking quantity 0 and the sub-items representing the batches as delivery/picking quantity relevant.  this is replicated in the billing document if billing relevance A is used.
    if M is used, then the main item is not included in the billing document as this has 0 quantity.  the delivery sub-item the becomes the main item in the billing.
    if you are not using batch determination, perhaps the use of M is not appropriate. 
    on the other hand, if you are using batch determination in the delivery, this is possibly what could have happened:
    1.  you create a sales order with item 10, material XX100.  this item has billing relevance.
    2.  you create delivery, and batch determination/split occurs. sub-item 90001 is created for item 10.
    3.  if you go back to the sales order, billing relevance for item 10 itself will "vanish".  however, look in your document flow and you will find the item 90001 (this is where billing relevance will be).
    please try this and post again.
    regards.

  • Billing relevance in delivery

    Hi Guys,
    One of the user has changed the customizing of item category billing relevance. Due to while I stuck in below situation:
    Item category billing relevance = Correct
    Billing relevance in order = Correct
    Billing relevance in delivery = Incorrect
    Now can you suggest, how I can correct this situation?
    Regards
    Pushpa

    Hi,
    First of all how user has changed the customising in production directly.....
    Please suggest us when he has changed that customizing like before creating order after creating order or after delviery..

  • Item category fields: Pricing & billing relevancy..

    Hi Experts,
    In item category have fields called pricing & billing. why?
    If item relevant for billing means system relevant for pricing as well.
    If the item is relevant for pricing means we do billing for that item, then why fields are required,
    Please light on this.
    Thx

    Hi
    Billing Relevence means order related billing or delivery related billing and so on
    Means whether the sales order is taken as a source doc for billing or delivery doc is taken as a source doc for billing and so on and accordingly copy controls are set
    Billing relevence means pricing also is there
    why separate fields
    Both of them have different controls
    Pricing means whether it is standard pricing(normal pricing),No pricing,or 100% discount like these entries are defined
    Say TANN it is not relevent for billing but pricing is B that is 100% discount
    It means when the sales order is created when an item is created free of charge the system determines the pricing for that item and makes it a 100% discount thro condition type R100
    It means when these values are posted in FI you will know how much values you have given as discount
    For free item also involves manufacturing cost or procurement cost which the client parts as a sales promotion so he need to know the values
    When this item cat TANN comes for billing it is not billed because billing relevence is kept blank
    Pricing here controls what is going to be the pricing  in sales order not in billing doc

  • Reg. DB Table for SD Order item which is billing relevant

    Dear Experts,
    My requirement is that for each WBS Element, i need the SD Order item which is relevant for billing to enable the report to check whether final billing was done. If final billing was done for all line items the report will select the latest billing date at least three months ago. What is the Database Table i need to look into? Kindly help me in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh Manoharan

    What data you are looking for the database tables??
    Guess,
    you will get WBS element from VBAP table, Key in WBS element in this table & you will get all SD orders with Item Category (PSTYV).
    with this Item Category, Goto Table:TVAP to check whether item is relevant for billing or not
    sort all the SD orders with TVAP_FKREL ne "blank" ,
    Now check the status of SD orders @ item level from Table:VBUP ( if billing is done SD order status will get updated as"Complete") , To find out the Billing no, Use doc flow table:VBFA with subseq doc cat:M ( applicable invoice doc cat's) & SD order as selection criteria.

  • Billing Relevance A & M in Item Category.......

    Hi
    Could anyone explain the difference between the billing relevance A & M in item cat definition.....
    Thanks in advance.....
    S.Kumar

    Dear Kumar
    Billing relevance description is as follows,
    A: Relevant for delivery-related billing documents
    Which means Outbound delivery is the basis for billing. The billing document status is only updated in the outbound delivery
    M:Delivery-related invoices-no zero qtys (incl main batch itm)
    Which means In Delivery the batches are determined automatically based on the delivery quantity.if you have  batch split. then when you are creating invoice it is copying the line item with zero quantity also to prevent this you can make use of billing relevance.
