Milestone Billing - Block getting removed before full confirmation.

Hi friends,
i am facing a problem in Milestone billing.
I have attached a milestone to an activity.The milestone is considered in Sales order.
When the activity will be fully confirmed the BLOCK will get removed from the Sales Order & down payment can be made.
But the fact is when I am confirming the activity partially , the actual date is getting picked up in the milestone and the BLOCK is getting removed from the Sales Order.
If I remove the automatic tab from the confirmation in SPRO, then during confirming of the activity a pop-up is coming ' want to consider the actual date" . If I select NO then the actual date is not coming in the milestone. This case is OK. But the end-user wants it to be automatic.
How to prevent the actual date from getting picked up in the milestone till the activity is fully confirmed?
I have defined the Usage & considered "2" in S/F (Milestone at the end of the activity).
Thanks a lot.
Regards ,
Abhra Bose

Hi there,
I'm not sure if it solves the problem, but I have one remark. If you set the S/F value to 2 in SPRO it is only informative meaning. please see extract from SAP documentation:
+Milestone at the start or finish of an activity
This key determines whether the milestone should have  the start date ot the finish date of an activity.
Dependencies
Please note that this key is not used in the extended milestone functions from Release 3.0. The key just helps you to edit milestones correctly, which were created before Release 3.0.+
What you need to do, is setting the offset directly in standard milestone in CN12 in block 'Offset to activity'.

  • Sales Order Billing Block Removal after Milestone POC 100% Only

    Dear Experts,
                         My client requirement is like following.
    1.Total Milestone number is 10
    2.Each Milestone carries weightage of 10% Invoice billing.
    I want to bill the milestone which is 100% completed only.
    In SAP Standard Function what I am getting is , When I feed Actual Date in Milestone then Billing Block is removed in Sales Order Billing Plan.
    Is it possible to remove Billing Block if Milestone POC is 100% also.
    Kindly suggest if there is any User exit ocustomer exit available for that.
    Regards

    I want to bill the milestone which is 100% completed only
    This is a standard feature. Once you reach the milestone enter the actual dates and the billing block gets removed allowing you to do the billing.
    Whatever you are getting in the standard system is perfectly fine. That is how the standard system works.
    Is it possible to remove Billing Block if Milestone POC is 100% also
    Could you please explain this statement? Are you asking, whether its possible to remove the billing block without entering the actual dates even though the milestone has been reached?

  • Authorization for removing Billing Block

    Dear Experts,
    we all know that billing block is removed in the sales documents usually by the person authorized to remove it in VA02.
    I know we have to include authorization objects in roles and assign the role to user id.
    But how we can provide authorization of removing Billing block to a particular user ?? I mean what object do we have to select ??
    e.g. for document types we select sales document type and then we enter the values. Like that how to do for billing blocks
    Kindly provide some inputs
    Thnx in advance
    regards,
    Sagar

    Hi,
    pls do the following steps to know about the descrption of the activity
    - run transaction SUIM
    - choose "Authorization Objects" under structure
    - choose & execute By object name, text
    - enter authorization object: in this case "V_VBAK_AAT" , execute
    - click on object name and click on "Documentation"
    - there you can see the activity description and value.
    to know the activity number/description you have to know the object name. If you do not the object name, run transaction SU24 as you already knew.
    is that what you need?

  • 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.

  • Milestone billing is possible eventhough billing status is blocked.

    Hi,
    The scenario is like: I create a sales order for a configurable material which requires to create sales order BOM. Now when I save the sales order, delivery block status and billing block status are shown as 'blocked'. Its obvious as I haven't yet created sales order BOM and run the costing for the same.
    But still I am able to do the milestone billing after removing billing block from the billing plan.
    Is it the standard SAP functionality or defect in the system?

    Hi
    it is standard SAP functionality, based on the sales document type it will happen.
    cheers

  • Billing Block 06 not getting applied

    Hi Friends,
    When i am creating a sales order, even though the net value is 0 the system is not applying the Price incomplete Billing block.
    The 06 block is defined in OVV3 and has been assigned  to the Billing document type F2. Is there any other settings which i need to check?
    Thank you,
    Arun.S

    Hi Arun
    TO set a billing block in sale order, you have two options
    - Set the block manually or
    - automatically
    To propose the billing block automatically in the sales order, you have to maintain billing block  in VOV8 (sale doc type customisation - biling block).
    Here, whenever you creat a sales order of above type, you will get the block by default, like in Credit memo request & debit memo request.
    TO propose a billing block based on certain conditions, like you mentioned before (price condition), you need to use the user exit.
    You need to maintain the logic, saying if the price is incomplete set x block.
    kindly discuss with your abaper & get this done
    thank you

  • How to remove billing block for rejected order

    Hi gurus,
    There is a question about billing block that needs ur help..
    A sales order's credit status in header level is "Not approved" and thus it's blocked for billing. We've rejected this sales order in all items, but this sales order is still showing in V23-Billing block report, how can we remove it from that report without changing Credit status?
    Or we have to update the credit status and then reject it again?
    Looking for your advice and thanks in advance.

    First tell me have you checked the credit status of that particular customer.
    Have you rejected all the item in sales order of the same order in which you have set the credit limit.
    then in that case you will have to increase the credit limit and then reject it.
    I hope it completed your work
    please let me know is it a proper solution.

  • Automatic removal of billing block in sales order

    Hi Friends,
    I want to remove billing block in the sales order automatically (by system) when I click the PGI for the relavant delivery document. I hope this is not possible through standard. If not please guide me how to solve this issue.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi,
    Please ask ABAPer to write a program(event program) to delete a billing block.
    As and when you click the PGI button for your delivery in "VL02n" T.Code,the PGI will be done in standard.Simultaneously,billing block is to be removed.Means the entry from the field "VBAK-FAKSK" is to be removed.
    If the billing block is also present at the item level too even it has to be removed.Means the entry from the field "VBAP-FAKSP" is also to be removed.
    Regards,
    Krishna.

  • Billing block should not be removed manually.

    Hello Experts,
    My requirement is
    If an particular billing block is set,
    The Sales order change is not allowed in  T-code  VA02.
    The billing block removal using the T-code V.23 is not allowed.
    Point no. 1 was able to archive using the user exit MV45AFZZ, routine USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT. I gave an error message using the FM   POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT and I used LEAVE TO TRANSACTION statement to navigate to VA03.
    Point no. 2 I don't have idea how to archive the same. pointers on the same could be really helpfull.
    Kind regards,
    Sri.

    Hi Sri,
    As there's (or at least I can't see) any BADI/Enhancement for V.23, my best suggestion would be to create an implicit enhancement in program RVAUFSPE form  BELEG_AENDERN_BTCI and do the check there. Something like this, at the beginning of the subroutine:
    DATA ls_vbak TYPE vbak.
         CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SALES_DOCUMENT_READ'
         EXPORTING
           DOCUMENT_NUMBER = XM_VMVAD-VBELN
         IMPORTING
           EVBAK = ls_vbak.
         IF ls_vbak-FAKSK = 'yourbilling block'.
           EXIT.   "and/or some message
         ENDIF.
    You might need some adjustments, but that's the idea.
    Cheers,

  • Automatic Billing Block removal in Periodic Billing

    Hi guys:
    Is there a way to have the billing block removed (not manually) when we use periodic billing?  We do not want to manually remove the block each month in order to do invoicing.
    Thanks for the input
    Aaon

    Aaon,
    You seem to be using a standard business scenario. In case you have done the customization for Periodic Billing, and set up a billing plan type 02 (periodic), then you must have also set up the 'Next Bill date' routine there. Here, you specify the day of the month (or the date) on which you want your periodic bill to be generated.
    Once these settings are in place, there is no need to put your orders on billing block. They will not bill until the date in the plan.
    Is this not working in your case?

  • Billing Block for Credit/Debit Memo Can Be Removed Via TCode VA02

    Dear All,
    During the credit/demo memo request creation, there will be a billing block that will be released via tcode v.23. I realized that user is also able to release the billing block if refer back to the credit/debit memo request at tcode va02.
    Kindly advise how can I prevent superuser/expert user from removing the billing block this way when they have to request for approval from their upper management  to release the billing block ia v.23.
    Appreciate all of your inputs on this enquiry.
    Thank you in advance!
    Regards,
    Yvonne

    Hi Friend,
    There are two solutions for this
    1.
    You can use USER EXIT    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION in MV45AFZZ and create one Ztable and add the user details .
    This will restrict the users to change the Billing Block 
    Also search for the OSS notes for more info   208245
    2.
    Create Transaction variant in SHD0  FOR VA02  and make Billing block in display  after creating the sales order.
    Hope it is clear,
    cheers,
