Hi Ashis,
Please follow below steps for your query:
1. You will have to set two different billing types {one type for order related billing & one for delivery related billing} in sales document type configuration .
2. The set up the relevant item category determination as per this sales document type, so that the proper item category will be picked up in the sales order level.
3. Then set up the copy control fro the sales document type-billing document type at Header as well as Item level.
I hope this will work out for your query.
Reward points if you are satisfied.

Your responses are greatly appreciated.Hi Peter,
What I understand from your query is you want to do Billing in ECC of the in-house repair order. Kindly Confirm.
If yes, follow these steps:
In standard scenario external billing works with
u2022 Service contracts
u2022 Service orders
u2022 Service confirmations
Prerequisites
1. Synchronization of Master Data
2. Synchronization of Pricing Conditions
3. Customizing of Controlling Objects in SAP ERP
4. Customizing of service transactions in SAP CRM
5. Customizing of sales orders in SAP ERP
6. Mapping of transaction data between SAP CRM and SAP ERP
Customizing
In order to perform external billing of the service order materials, following configurations are to be done:
1. Create a Service order Transaction
2. Create an Item category - Putting Billing reference External Billing
3. Maintain Item Category Determination
4. Replicate the controlling relevant characteristics
5. Create the ERP Order Type- Tcode VOV8- SD Doc Category should be L.
6. Create the ERP Item category- Tcode VOV7 - Billing reference C
7. Maintain Item category Determination (ERP)
8. Maintain Mapping of transactions and item categories
Settings for Service Processing Billing Integration Map Transaction Types and Item Categories
When you set the status to complete, it triggers a debit memo request in ECC, with which ECC Billing can be performed.

Invoice is not getting created in Order related billing
Dear all,
I am trying to do a Order related billing. After creating the order i am going to VF01 and selecting the billing type i have created and trying to create the invoice. I am getting the error "No billing documents were generated. See log" when i am checking the Log its showing now errors.
In case if my account determination procedure is wrong, system should allow me to create a Sales invoice and accounting document will not be generated. But in this case even the sales invoice is also not getting created.
Please suggest me if there are any configuration changes i need to do to overcome this problem.Apart from the suggestion already given, also ensure that
the order is not showing in incomplete log
the order is not blocked for credit limit
You can also cross check in VF04 whether system is fetching that sale order. For information, once you execute VF04, by default, system will check only "Delivery related" check box. You have to manually select "Order related" check box.

Foreign Trade / Intrastat - data order-related billing (downpayments)
Hi,
Shortly we have implemented the down payment functionality in our flows. Because downpayments require order-related billing the intrastat/foreign trade data is not copied into the closing invoice.
Apparently it is only possible to copy the data from a delivery.
We are in a make-to-order environment and we still create deliveries but because of the down payments, the invoice is created from the sales order and hence no intrastat data is copied which ofcourse is required ...
Can't find a suitable user exit for filling this data into the billing document. Also tried using copy data transfer (vofm) filling up tables eikp and eipo but that didn't work.
The only option open for me at the moment is creating a proforma invoice automatically from the delivery. This document can then be included in the intrastat reporting.
Is there another solution ?
with regardsHi,
in the copy control between order and invoice you need to set the 'determine export data' to 'B' so that it will be redetermined in the invoice. After that the relevant foreign trade userexits will work as well.

In case of returns,will there be order related billing?
Hi,
In case of returns,will there be order related billing or the delivery related billing?Hi,
The credit memo is issued even if the return delivery and the goods receipt are not created as it is order related billing except if you put a billing block on the return order but as soon as you will remove the billing block on the return order, the credit memo will be issued event if delivery is not created and goods have not been received.
This is strange but certainly german people are confident enough to reimburse their customers even if the goods have not yet been received.

PradeepHi
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.
Thanks & Regards

Hi friends,
I am trying to create order related billing. The material is a service, but i need to have a delivery created in the background.
I have created an order and the delivery is created automatically.
But when i am trying to create an invoice F1 against this sales order the log shows
Order quantity 1 not equal to goods issue 0.
in the item category the billing relevance is 'B" relevant for order related billing - status according to order qty.
In the copy control for F1 billing type and orer type OR the billing quantity indicator is 'C' order quantity.
Can someone suggest the reason for the error message.
Regards,
UdayHI,
Order related billing is applicable to service order processing. So, there is no need of delivery document here.
For your case:
In a delivery document the u2018Delivery quantityu2019 and u2018Picked Quantityu2019 should be same. In your case, the picked quantity is zero. This is the reason for error message. The picking quantity should be 1.
You can make the item as u2018Not relevant for pickingu2019 at Delivery item category level in customization. Then the Picked quantity field will be greyed. It will not throw error.

Order-related billing for item category TAN
Hi All,
How can I make item category TAN order related-billing document?
I already changed the settings for TAN:
Billing Relevance - B (Relevant for order-related billing)
And maintained the copy control between sales document and billing document for item category TAN:
Copying requirements: 002 (Item/Order Related)
Data VBRK/VBRP: 001 (Invoice Split - Sample)
But when i create the billing document, it is still showing that the item is not relevant for billing.
Delivery document has already been created for this item. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Olynhi,
pl enter the billing doc type in the field for order related billing in the sales order document type overview.
2. there might be billing block at sales document header level or u might have checked billing block at item category TAN,

Order Related Billing - Overall Status B after billing
We have changed billing relevance of our order related billing item category to B (Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty) and the copy control to the billing document to E (Goods receipt quantity less invoiced quantity).
This now allows us to bill these sales orders based on the GR and not wait on the IR.
However, how can we control the overall status of the sales order item billed? When billed partially, the overall status is set to B (Being Processed).
I see no process, except changing order quantity which will set this overall status to C.
I see COMPLETION RULE but after setting this and completing billing, the overall status is still BEING PROCESSED. I assume this is because the copy control from sales document to billing document does not have an 'update document flow' option.
Is the solution a custom routine in the copy control?
Thankshello, jim.
the system behavior is correct. in a purely order-billing scenario, the status remains as "being processed" because you have not completely billed the item, and there are quantities that are still to be invoiced.
if the open balance is no longer to be billed, in general we "reject" the open items. this action completes the line item status. if there are no other line items in the order, the entire document will also be completed.
i think you have a third party transaction. when you say "partially billed", are you referring to quantities invoiced based on GR, which may be less than the order quantity? if so, rejecting open quantities in the sales order should complete the order.

Order-related billing and Dlv-related Billing in single Invoice
Say in a single order or order type say OR there can be two materials with different item categories say TAN and ZTAN.
TAN with billing relevance as A( delivery related billing) and ZTAN with billing relevance as B (order related billing )
If that happens the billing will be split
In VOV8 we mention for OR the order related billing as F1 and delivery related billing as F2 in the billing tab
Now in billing TAN will pick F2 as it is delivery related billing
and
ZTAN will pick F1 as it is order related billing.
Now my question:
In VOV8, i maintained OR order type for Order-realted Billing as F2 and Delivery-related Billing as F2 as well.
Then will there still be an billing split ? There will be two F2 invoices TAN will pick one F2 invoice and ZTAN will pick another F2 invoice...?
And i want to know whether this an right way of doing things?? IF not, what is the right way of doing things?
Thank you very much.Hello,
Yes that is the right way.
You can create Single Invoice for Order Related Items & Delivery Related Items.
E.g. You are Selling Air Conditioner & also installing the same at Customer Location. Now you will Invoice the Customer for Air Conditioner & Installation in the same Billing Correct? Now Air Conditioner is Delivery Related Billing & Installation is Order Related Billing.
It is in such scenario Order Releted & Delivery Related Items can be Invoiced in same Billing Document.
While create Invoice enter the Delivery Number & the Sales Order Number, select both the LIne Items & Execute... You will see the system will pick items from both Order & Delivery.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Also, maintained the copy control (T. Code: VTFA) between OR => IVA (for TAS) as follows:
Copying requirement = '013',
Invoiced quantity = 'F', (*)
Quantity/value = '+',
Pricing type = 'G'.

Can Billing Quantity be Different from Order Quantity in Order Related Bill
Hi
I have encountered a scenario here at my client.
My client wants that the billing document should be created with reference to Sales Order but only that value of invoice should be relseased to accounting which is delivered.
For example,
Sales Order = 10 units
Billing Document= 10 units
Delivery = 5 Units
Released to Accounting Value = Eqvalent to 5 Units which are delivered.
Reason why Sales Order and Billing should be of same quantity is that when a customer asks for an order confirmation, he requires Billing document for legal purposes but they want to hit their G/L's only on the basis of Quantity Delivered. As they are not aware when the customer come back to pick his remaining quantity. So they do not want to hit their accounting based on Sales Order quantity.
Any ideas?Hi,
If billing has to be posted only after delivery, it is a clear case of Delivery related Billing. It is not order related billing.
You SHOULD have the following scenarios here.
Have a normal order and have Proforma invoice linked to it with the condition that the quantity in proforma invoice should be the same as order.
However do the actual invoice after doing delivery for the order. In this case, the posting will be only for the quantity delivered. You can change the quantity in proforma invoice when you are creating the same from order. So that reqmt is also taken care of.
I dont think of any other scenario where you can meet both reqmts.
Hope this helps -
Change VPRS during billing -( order related Billing )
Hi Guru's,
There is a requirement for changing the VPRS value during Billing - ( Order Related billing ). There is a particular requirement for which this scenario is needed. I did manage to change the value or XKOMV via a custom requirement but it is not getting reflected in the Invoice.
Can someone advice on how to achieve the same.
The following is the data i get during Analysis.
Condition type VPRS
Message 216
Description Condition value has been taken from preceding document
Further Analysis
"Condition types (e.g. VPRS), which have been provided with the condition category 'G', determine your condition amount either from the material evaluation segment or the amount is calculated from the condition value.
Therefore the condition value - possibly a billing document - can be determined from the goods issue or in third-party order processing of a preceding document, for example, from the vendor billing document.
Der Konditionsbetrag wurde hier aus dem übergebenen Konditionswert berechnet."
