Mass Archiving of outgoing Billing Documents

Hello Guru's,
I need your expertise in the following scenario.
we have a production system in which we have over 126000 billing documents created in 4 months span.
when the users issue output, the storage mode in the output type should be "print and archive". in this case, we will have a copy of the printed billing document will be archived and as an attachment to billing document in sap.
But the users by mistake, chose the option as "print" only. which means that we dont have a copy of all the billing documents in the span of four months archived.
i have learnt that we can issue bulk or mass output for billin documents using transaction VF31.
can i use this transaction by creating an output type used only for "Archive only" and process it?
has anyone faced this issue and solved it successfully? please tell me in detail all the steps and precautions to be taken care for this scenario.
waiting for your quick reply.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi,
Please follow below steps to solve your problem.
I think you don't have to create a new print program with "Archive Only" functionality. As I understood from your post, the existing output type itself can handle both print and archive options. The issue user has done was, he has selected only "Print Only" option in the condition master record (Transaction VV31) under Button "Communication" and field "Storage Mode"
Therefore please do below with the same output type.
- First identify all billing documents relevant for your mentioned time period using table VBRK
- Create a simple LSMW to do below steps.
-> Repeat the same output type (Or even add the same output type again).
-> Under "Communication Method" button, Select the "Storage mode" as "2- Archive Only".
- Then use transaction "VF31" to execute your output type with "Transmission medium" = 1 and processing mode = 1.
Then system should only do archive without printing. You should be able to see the archived billing output under attached document button in the billing document.
You can do a simple test in this manner for couple of billing documents to make sure everything is working as per your requirement.
Hope this help to clarify your doubts!
Best regards,
Rahal

Mass Re-Pricing of Billing Document

For certain Billing Types we price at billing doc creation. In the case of pricing errors the affected billing documents must be re-priced.
Is there a mass update program that will allow us to re-price a group of billing documents without having to drill into each individual order and manually update pricing. I have not been able to find such a program.
Thanks..

Not sure I understand whats the issue is..but let me restate for my own info..
you have billing documetn say 1000 to 100x..which had a priicng error..
you might have gone ahead and fixed condition record or whatever..that will fix this error.
now you want to re-price the billing document
if thats the case, then normally the pricing update is greyed out if you have created a billing documetn..because acctg documents are created and co-pa determination..lot of stuff happened after the biling creation..
good compliant solution would be to cancel and re-bill...that way everything is properly determined..

Billing Documents Archiving

Hello Folks,
Could some one let me know about Billing Output Archiving?
I want to know the concept of archiving, and whats the transaction code to view the archieved outputs.
Points rewarded.

Hi Krishna,
Billing Output archiving?
1. If you are looking for archiving Invoice document that is sent to customer then we can use concept Document archiving. Here we will archive this document and link it with the business application data.
2. If you want to archive spool list of the billing output then we have to follow the print list archiving.
3. If you are looking for archiving billing data from table VBRK, then we will follow data archiving.
Concept of Archiving: Please refer to Archiving Management Guide which gives you clear information of Archiving concept. Please see this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/8d/3e4e19462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Transaction code to view the archived output: There are various ways to get the archived documents.
1. Archive Information System --T.code is SARI
2. Data Browser Relationship --T.code is SE16 and
3. Archive Index --- For Billing document T.code is VF07
Hope this information will help you.
-Thanks,

Change of Tax Percentage in Existing Billing documents

Hi,
we have created 100's of billing documents with 11% to customers. Later we realized that we should charge them 0% instead of 11%. we have even released them to accounting however we did not receive the payment yet. I made changes so that any billing docs created from today will have 0% percent but my client wants to re-issue all the previous invoices to customers with 0%. I have not worked on any of these but i have few thoughts
1) Reverse the Accounting Document and Billing document and update the condition type to 0% and re-issue the billing document
2) There is something called Invoice correction document which issues something like credit or debit memo for the changes in Billing document.
3) create a utility program to mass change all the billing documents.
4) I am not sure about this but how about issuing a credit note and then re-issue the invoice but not sure how to re-issue with the modifications in Tax Percentage
Could you please throw some expert opinions on the above or any other options of consider. Also please advise on configuration settings for any needed.
Since I have not worked on any of the four, I could not recommend my client about this but needed opinion before actually recommending.

Hi,
What you said is right with respect to retrospective billiing.
In case of credit note, you are not issuing your invoice again. You are just releasing a credit note with respect to the issued invoice. Hence a reference is maintained between these two. This is the best way to follow.

Creation of DMR and CMR from the archived billing document in EHP3 system

Hi all
I read somewhere that one of the functionality in EHP3 is we can create sales document like debit memo request and credit memo request from the archived billing document. I am working on EHP3 system only but i am not able to create the sales document. the system throws an error that billing document doesnt exist
If any one of you have worked on such functionality kindly suggest me why its not happening here also let me know Is ther any customization required for the execution of this functionality in spro.

> If any one of you have worked on such functionality kindly suggest me why its not happening here also let me know Is ther any customization required for the execution of this functionality in spro.
I suggest you open that question in an SD forum together with the support package you run and if you have an industry solution or any business function sets activated or not.

Creation of sales document (DMR, CMR) from the archived billing document

Hi all
I read somewhere that one of the functionality in EHP3 is we can create sales document like debit memo request and credit memo request from the archived billing document. I am working on EHP3 system only but i am not able to create the sales document. the system throws an error that billing document doesnt exist

hi,
the help says:
You can use this business function to further optimize your electronic Sales and Billing Processes.
Electronic data archiving regulations result in a high volume of data for sales documents and require invoices to be archived at an early stage. You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes more easily. Since you still have electronic access to archived invoices during the sales process, you can manage archiving without delay and execute further sales processes electronically.
You can more efficiently use the rebate agreements from SAP ERP for your marketing activities. In particular, customers who use SAP CRM (Trade Promotion Management) with a large volume of data for campaigns, target groups, and product segments can define a custom-made logic for their rebate determination and thus avoid potential database problems.
Integration
To implement the logic for rebate processing in SAP ERP, you use the Enhancements for Rebate Processing Business Add-In (BAdI). For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Sales and Distribution Billing Rebate Processing Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Enhancements for Rebate Processing .
Prerequisites
You have activated the Logistics: S&D Simplification (SD_01) business function.
Features
You can integrate archived billing documents in your business processes as follows:
Create sales documents with reference to archived billing documents, such as credit memo and debit memo requests.
Display archived billing documents.
When you do either of these steps, the system first looks for the invoice in the database and then in the archive.
For the sales employee, the processing steps are identical, regardless of where the sales document is stored. As soon as the sales employee processes an archived billing document, they see the relevant information in the message line as well as in the title of the function.
For rebate processing, you can store your company's check logic in the interface of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhancements for Rebate Processing.
So check if you have activated the business function.
I hope this helps.

Archiving Billing documents

HI Colleagues,
Needs your help on the below issue.
Some of the old Billing documents were not archieved, supposed to be archieved as they are in 1998 and 1999. When I checked the spool for analysis and found the below information.
Example:
Doc. 0090000000     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
the document is not complete
Doc. 0090000001     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
the document is not complete
Doc. 0090000003     Sales organization S001   Bill.doc.type F2
the document is not complete
Verified documment flow for those billing docs and found accounging documents were cleared and overall status shows completed.
What could be the reason only few documents were not archived.
Appreicate your inputs as soon as possible.
Regards,
Vamsi P.

Refer following SDN thread, this might assist with understanding:

SD Billing Document Archive Issue

Hi Guru,
I have encountered an issue related SD Billing Document Archive.
The issue is like below :
In our system there is provision that we can Archive SD through ""Services For Object"" option in VF02.
Generally the way we archive it is as below steps:
1. Open a particular billing document through VF02 which need to be archive.
2. Then we click on ""Pricing Condition Header"" -> It takes you to the pricing detail screen with "Output" button in the application tool bar.
3. Then we click on "Output" button -> It takes you to the screen throuh which o/p of the billing document is configured.
4. We set the following parameters for archiving
    output type = ZTR1
    Medium = Printing output.
    Function = BP
   Partner = desired partner number
5. Using ""Further Data" button we set the Dispatch time to "4. Send Immediately (when saving the application)""
6. Using ""Communication method" we set the Logical destination to LP01 and storage mode to "3.Print and archive" and Print Immediately option tick marked
7. Press save button created a single spool in Sp01 with spool number.
In spool there is saving only one spool with only 1 spool request type. (say the print preview of spool request type contains 3 pages in 1 spool request)
But when i am viewing the archiving document through vf03/vf02 in ""Services For Object"" I am able to find for the same spool 3 separate pages is in archived document.
when i tried to find out the reason by debugging setting the breakpoint in the driver prog configured in NACE. the debugging cursor is not stopping there...
So Guru what might be the possible reason because of which 3 separate pages in being archived instead of 1 and the cursor is not getting stopped at the o/p type's driver prog.
Please provide some guideline so that I can resolve this..
Thanks & regards

EL37 showing unreversed & archived billing document related MR??

Dear Friends & Gurus,
We are in the process of archiving billing & print documents. During the testing, it was realized that T. code EL37 (Reverse Meter reading) showed an archived billing document which was never reversed. The understanding is that EL37 should only show reversed billing documents So does this anomaly/issue occurs due to archiving or some other reason?
Appreciate feedback ...
thanks in advance,
Anand

Mass cancellation of billing documents

Hi Experts,
I want to cancel around 1800 billing documents in one shot, is there any Tcode for the same,
please suggest at the earliest.

Hi,
as per my concern you can use VF11 TCode for cancellation of Invoice, use an Customized Upload program with table control technique fill the Invoice Number one by one and when it finally reaches the end of list in Excel and then program automatically saves and generates invoice number, this is the same which is followed in our company, we follow the same for mass deletion of Invoice.

Reverse billing document on an archived delivery

Do you know how this would be possible? I have a billing document that i would like to reverse but am unable too because the delivery has been archived.

Hi Challes ,
This is not possible. You need to reload that delivery before reversing the Billing Document. After that you can again Archive that delivery.
Hope this helps to you!!!!!

Regenerating output for archived billing document

Hi,
As TCODE=VF31 can not generate output from archived billing documents, I would kindly ask you if is there any other alternative standard SAP way to do it ?
Thanking in advance for your help, best regards
Joseph Sangoi

You cannot print from archived documents as archived documents have to remain unchanged. Printing will create new NAST records for your document which is not possible for archived data.
You have to care about such requests prior to data archiving. You need a general strategy e.g. printing into an archive (setting in your message conditions), which is optical archiving and often mixed with data archiving . Those optically archived invoices can be reprinted at any time.

SAP IS-Media: Mass write-off leads to reversal of already paid billing document

Hi All,
We have business issue in IS-Media as below
While doing mass write-off using transaction code FP04M, already existed payment document for that particular cycle is getting reversed.
we can see payment reversal document under liability account - payments tab of the order.
We know this is not specific to particular customer.
We would like to understand why while doing write off, already existed payment document is getting reversed. We request experts to help us on this at the earliest.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Muneendra

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your answer. When we run the monitoring process program RJKREMIND01, the system generates reversal billing documents to reverse billing documents from orders that have not been paid. This happens when the orders are in the closure monitoring level. The reversal document set in customizing isn't suitable in this case due to fiscal reasons, so we need to change the reversal billing document when we run RJKREMIND01.
Thanks and regards, Renato
