Item category in billing document

Hi,
Could someone please let me know the main purpose of ite category in billing document. Also, what is the use of having pricing in the delivery document.

Hi
Could someone please let me know the main purpose of item category in billing document.
Item category in billing document is for information only
Like Item category in sales order ( T Code VOV7) Item category in delivery ( T code ZERO VLP) the Item category in billing document doesnot have any control functions
Upto billing Item category has control functions but not in billing or after billing
what is the use of having pricing in the delivery document.
There can be some scenarios where a freight cost is calculated from delivery document not in sales order
For such scenarios we configure a PP with additional condition types and assign in the delivery doc type so that at delivery we get price
What i have said is one vague example like that there can be different requirements to be picked in delivery

Order related item and delivery related item in one billing document

Hi Experts,
how can we include order related item and delivery related item in one billing document .
Please give me the configuration logic .

Hello,
1)Reference Document Number VBRK-XBLNR.
In transaction VTFA and VTFL at header level setup the field 'Reference number' so that it is the same (example 'E')
2) Payment Reference VBRK-KIDNO
It should be a consequence of the split, and not a cause. So you can ignore it
3) Billing date for billing index VBRK-FKDAT
In sales order and delivery you should set the same billing date. Alternatively, the the first screen of VF01 please set a Defailt billing date
4) Customer purchase order number VBRK-BSTNK_VF
It is necessary that sales order to be billed and sales order referenced to delivery to be billed have the same purchase order number. There is not other way.
5) Assignment number VBRK-ZUONR
In transaction VTFA and VTFL at header level setup the field 'Assignment number' so that it is the same (example 'E')
6) Translation Date
Same solution of point 3.
Best regards,
Ivano.

Item number in billing document not matching with delivery document-reg

Hi All,
In the billing document the item number is coming from Shipment document. ie., there are three deliveries in a shipment. Each delivery has got one line item, ie., 10. These three deliveries are assigned to a shipment, the order in which the deliveries are attached if we take as 10 for first delivery, 20 for th esecond and 30 for the third, In billing document the billing from first delivery is getting the item number as 10, the second delivery's billing document is getting the item number as 20 and the third as 30.
Can someone please reply where and how this is configured?
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
first look at IMG/Sales and Distribution/ Billing / Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents / Copying control: Delivery document to billing document
There is a field "Copy item number from reference"
Maybe it helps.

Freight Line Item on customer billing documents

The systems is ECC 6.0.7. We will be charging freight cost to our customers going forward, so freight will show up as a separate posting to a separate GL acocunt. A new condition type is created for this purpose.
Our business wants to post freight costs to a cost center account assignment. I have checked and currently the sales order posting screen does not have cost center field available for input while internal order field is. So I am guessing there will be some screen layout settings needed to make cost center field available for input. What are the settigns needed to make it available?
The cost center account assignment field is available in the posted billing documents. Can we just add cost center for the posting at that time even if the sales order would not contain it? We want the freight line only to post to cost center, but not the price portion of the posting. Is it possible to do it because it seems that account assignment is entered for each at the billing item and price, freight, handling and taxes related to each item will pick up the same cost center entered for that billing item?

You need to take the help of your FI consultant and proceed as discussed here

Item category in purchasing document.

Hi,
where can I create furthers <b>"Item category"</b> in purchasing document?
Best regards

Hi
U should not create new item categories. U have to use only available item categories
Item categories are intended for special procurements (consignment, subcontracting, stock transport etc and services ).
These transactions are built in with several integrations internally.

Commitment Item in SD Billing document (Fund Managment) ECC6

Hi,
We are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6 and have activated Fund Managment (EA-PS).
At the time of carrying out the Billing in SD we are getting a error that no commitment item available for gl account but if I use the same revenue account and create a FI invoice (FB70) then the CI is getting derived thru the derivation rules (Rule:CI from Cost Element).
I would like to know why the CI is not getting derived during Billing in SD module.
Thanks
SS

Hi,
Thanks for your message.
I have maintained a derivation Rule:CI from Cost Element, so that the CI will derive from this derivation rule.
As mentioned if I use same revenue account and create a FI invoice then the CI is derived as per the derivation rules but while carrying out the SD billing then the error comes.
Kindly clarify.

Plants abroad - WIA billing document

Hello,
I have customized plants abroad as explain in note 506588, but when I try to bill the delivery document to obtain the WIA billing document, the system displays an error saying that the document is not relevant for billing.
The billing relevance of the item type used in the
delivery document is "Relevant for deliveries across EU countries". The plants used in the process flow are from Spain and from Denmark, so we need the billing document for the EU report in both countries.
The used flow is the following
Purchasign order: UB
Delivery document: NL
Sales document: NL
Item category: NLN
Billing document: WIA
Plants abroad are activated and the VAT Registration Number for Plants Abroad is entered. Does anyone know why the delivery is not relevant for billing if the item category is marked as relevant?
Thanks in advance, best regards.

Hi
Can you let me know ,
Is it the triangular deal you are speaking
Because from your flow , I could not see any delivery against the sales order.
Can you let me know .
Hope to help you.

Batch Split Items appearing in the billing document

Dear Friends,
Batch determination is active in our system. In the delivery there are two main items. 10 and 20 and each has Batch split and the sub items are 90001 and 90002 respectively.
Now in the billing document there appears are four items with item nos and qty as follows.
item 10 qty 1 - main item having pricing etc
item 20 qty 0 - batch split item no qty n no pricing
item 30 qty 1 - main item having pricing etc
item 40 qty 0 - batch split item no qty n no pricing
The requirement is that there should not be any sub items with zero qty. Only main items to appear in the Billing document.
One important observation I would like to share with you is that in the delivery document both main items and it's sub items have item category as TAN.
Your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Vishi
Edited by: Vishi19 on Apr 27, 2009 2:48 PM

Dear US,
Thanks for replying.
What i would like to know here is if appearance of sub items with 0 qty n 0 price does not affect in the billing document then how come VPRS cost coming only in the item conditions of the sub items. I dont see the cost in the main items.
What I want to knlow here is that does in any way these sub items affect the billing document? i mean in the accounting or data flow to CO-PA or something like that..?

Enhancement - Accounting Document from Billing Document - change line items

Hi Experts,
       Our client has a requirement to display all line items(as shown in Billing document) along with the tax line in the Accounting document. I can explain it as below:
      In VF01 transaction code: enter the delivery number.
      Press enter to see the number of line items that will be populated in the Billing document.
      Click on save.
      Here in the Accounting Doc you'll find only 2 line items, one line item is the consolidation of WRBTR and quatity of all the line items in the Billing Document and the other line item is the tax.
      We are required to replace the consolidated line item in the Account Doc with all the actual lines as populated in the Billing Document.
      For this we tried various methods:
             Searched for a BAPI - couldnt find any which will help in modifying the line items before creation of Account Doc
             Checked UserExits - Found one SDVFX008 but it didnt have the table which is sent for population of Accounting doc hence there was no way we could modify any table to get the desired output.
             Searched the VF01 Flow in Debugger to check when the Accounting Doc is updated, but it also didnt yield any fruits.
      Kindly please guide on a way this can be accomplished. Appreciate the help from you all...

Hi
I think that your requirement is related with summarization of items in the FI doc for the billing document. Please, see SAP Note 36353 - AC interface: Summarizing FI documents. See also Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting.
I hope this helps you

How to find the GL Account for a Billing Document Item?

Hi All,
   For a specific Billing Document Item, how to fetch the corresponding GL Account No.?
   I tried the below approach.
   Using the Billing Document Number, I fetched the corresponding Accounting Document No. then I tried to match the item of billing document with the item of Accounting Document by comparing the amount and then fetch the GL Account from table BSEG. When I compared the line items of both the documents, the no. of line items in the Accounting Document is more compared to the no. of line items in the Billing Document. I tried to match the items using Amount, but what if more than one item has the same amount but different GL Account No.?

Hi,
i would agree with what 'Rajasekhar Dinavahi' said.
quote,
<b>Hi
If you open the billing document in VF03, click on 'Accounting' , select the accounting document, click on 'Administrat. data' tab.
Here you will find the Reference Document and Reference item no.

Raj

The reference Doc will be XBLNR .

Assign partner determination procedure to Item Category/Sales document type

Hello All,
How can I assign a partner determination procedure to an item category or sales document type? That field is disabled in item category config step. Please suggest.
Thanks,
lavanya

HI Lavanya,
The partner determination will happen through a different way and not through item category definition.
The path would be
S&D->MAster Data->Bussiness partners->customers->Customer hierarchy->set partner determination for hirearchy categories.
In this you will have one option to define by item category.
Hope this helps.

Need Single Billing Document for Materials and Services in Sales Order

Hello Friends,
I am selling FERT items and DIEN items in the Sales Order.
Document flow as follows:
Finished goods - Order-Delivery-Billing
Services - Order-Billing
In this process 2 seperate billing documents are created
i. Delivery Related Billing document for Finished goods.
ii. Order related Billing document for services.
I want to create a single billing document for both the items (FG & Services) in the sales order.
Please suggest.
Thnx.

Sorry for the delay friends.
Somebody suggested me to make services 'relevant for delivery' to ensure single billing document.
What I did were the following steps:
1. Copy Item Category TAD to ZTAD and make is 'relevant foir delivery'
2. Assign Item Category ZTAD to Sales Order type and Item Cat Group 'LEIS'
3. Go to Deliveries Item Categories and through new Entries add ZTAD. Make ZTAD relevant for Picking.
4. Go to copy control 'Order to Delivery' and insert ZTAD in Item Categories relevant for this combination.
Now when I create sales order with materials and services, they pass over to the delivery document and in the Services item, storage location/plant is greyed out. Only the picking quantity is required to be filled.
PROBLEM :
I am not getting the price of Services item in the billing document.
Billing document copies all line items (tangible and intangible) from Delivery Document
It takes the services item details/quantities etc. to VF01 but the price comes '00.00'
Any suggestions.
Is this legally viable? Someone told me its not legally correct.
Thanks.
Mohammed

Creating Sales Order- Item Category TAN is not defined.

Hello all,
I am working on Creating sales order for Global Bike Inc case. But when I enter the material and quantity number and click check mark it says "Item category TAN is not defined". Can some body help me how can we define TAN or why it is giving me that error.
Thanks in advance.
Sujan

Hi SujanB,
As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.
For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:
Pricing
Billing
Delivery
Inventory posting
Transfer of requirements
Providing further deatils ;--
01. How item category is determined :--
Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
1.sales document type (source: order type)
2.item category group (source: material master)
3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)
4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)
SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)
Pls refer following link for furter details ;--
general item category group
