Question to be clarified on 'Bill On Hold' concept in SAP

Hi,
I need suggestions on a scenario in SAP.
Sales order was created for xyz material.
Delivery created and PGIed for xyz material.
Invoice created for the above delivery document.
Now, the material is physically rests at seller's location only.
How can we show such material's inventory with zero value in seller's inventory books as buyers inventory stock?
Thanks

We had a similar issue. I'll tell you how we solved it, but I don't think the solution was ideal. But perhaps it will give you some thoughts as well.
We invoiced the customer for the quantity manufactured under the original sales order. We then physically moved the inventory to a seperate warehouse for storage. Since the inventory no longer existed in the system after the original invoice was posted and the delivery was PGI'd. we used a 501 movement to put the inventory back on the books in the storage warehouse. We also did not want the inventory to be valued and since we had a unique plant to store the material in, we made the material type non-valued in that plant (field VT134M-WERTU). Later, when the customer wanted delivery we created a free-of charge order for the material and shipped the product to the customer.
If you think of a better way of doing this, please let me know.
thanks,

'Bill and Hold' scenario

Hello All,
My client wants to implement 'bill and hold'. It wants to bill the customer, and remove inventory from the system, but not deliver the material right away (and therefore not create the delivery ticket immediately).
My initial proposal was to invoice based on the sales order, and transfer stock from the regular storage location to another 'customer storage location' so it isnt available. And then, do the delivery when the customer is ready for the material.
This didnt work for the client because it doesnt want to officially own the stock at all. Also, they are ok with posting goods (crediting inventory and debiting COGS) but dont want to create a delivery ticket until the actual delivery leaves for the customer.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

This is a peculiar business request because normally the customer wants to control the inventory until such time it leaves the premises and is then GI - remember goods issue means transfer of ownership.
I will give oyu a possible solution just now. But first please remember to explain to your customer that in terms of risk management what they are asking for is dangerous, because if they goods issue (transfer ownership) but the stock remains in their premises, if anything happens to that stock they are liable for losses.
Keeping this in mind, the simpler solution is to GI, Invoice but change your output determination so that the actual delivery document does not print automatically but manually on request at the time of despatch.
Also, just let us know if they are not perhaps referring to procured stock, i.e. stock they buy (outsource) specifically for the customer. If this is the case, then there is a SAP standard process to address it.

Why does this site have online chat when you can never actually chat - always "not available"? I was trying to get a simple question answered without calling and being on hold for 10 minutes?

Have a flashing folder with a question mark on start-up but cannot hold option as wireless keyboard won't connect, how do I get it to connect if I cannot turn on the machine?

Hello all, I've registered here because I can't work out how to get my keyboard and mouse to connect.
The issue is that when I turn my mid-2010 iMac on it doesn't load up, but instead shows a flashing folder with a question mark. I've Googled this and have some idea how to fix it, the first step in all guides to fixing the problem states that you should hold the option key upon start-up. The problem I'm having is that I've just had to change the batteries on my keyboard and mouse and they are now not connecting. I can't see how to get the keyboard and mouse connected with the Mac stuck on the flashing folder screen, and I can't get the Mac past said screen without using the keyboard. Does anyone know how I can connect the two devices?
Thanks.

The flashing folder with the ? mark indicates that a bootable system can't be found. You'll need to borrow a wired keyboard so you can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down). From there you can reinstall the system and try a normal reboot.

Bill and Hold

Hi Gurus,
please help me or suggest me how to handle the below mentioned requirment.
We have a requirement from one of client's customers to do a u201CBill and Holdu201D orders. In other words they want to pay for the product when it is produced. Then for the next several months they will send us orders to ship the product to various locations. These shipment orders will have to be no charge because they have already paid for the product.
How can these u201CBill and Holdu201D orders be handled within our SAP system?
Thanks & Regards,
Jayalakshmi

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Thanks for the response and suggesion.
Let me clarify my self. can we handle this requirment in standard flow.
step 1 - creation of sales order for customer for certain quantity and value of the oder will be determined based on the price of the material.
step 2 - creating the invoioce document for the total sales order value and complwting the financial entries.
step 3 - creating the delivery document and shipments when and where ever required.
step 4 - Finally creation of proforma invoice (which will not debit the customer account agian as he done the payment for invoice created in step 2 ) in order to get the flow to be completed.
please let me know whether we can handle in this way.
if yes how to manage the stock to that particular customer? which document type we can use?
If no, please suggest me how to configure the flow for downpayment.
if i understood correctly, downpayment document is the billing document which we can create wrf to sales oder.
and as you suggested 100% discount for the price condition - are we suppose to maintain a condition records for the relevent access.
request you to explain me the process as soon as possible, as we have a call with user to explain the process.
Thanks & Regards,
Jayalakshmi.

Question about term on my bill

Hello,
Thanks in advance for answering my question if you are able!
We made some calls to a foreign country, and some were flagged as "call terminated to premium services". Those we were charged 10 cents a minute, the rest to the same area were free (different phone numbers) as part of our World Plan.
What does "call terminated to premium services" mean, and is there a way to avoid that charge to those tel. numbers?
Thanks again!

You can find the following explanation from http://www22.verizon.com/residentialhelp/phone/billing/charges+and+taxes/taxes+and+surcharges+on+you...?
Premium Termination Surcharge International Calling Disclaimer Many foreign telecommunications companies impose substantial fees on Verizon Long Distance to complete international calls for services they designate as premium. Premium services can include:
International calls that terminate to wireless phones, pagers, personal computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs)
International calls that require satellite technology
International calls to chat lines or other information services such as 900-type numbers
International calls that terminate to premium services in countries that impose premium fees will have a rate that is higher than the current rates for international calls that terminate to non-premium services. If you have questions, please contact Verizon.

Question - SD user exit for Billing with multiple sales orders

We have a situation where we are summarizing Accounting Billing document updates via OBCY, transaction type VBRK .
We will also have multiple sales orders per billing document.
One of our accounts is a COGS- clearing account which will post for both delivery and billing documents.
Our goal will be to clear the COGS-clearing account after the delivery and billing has occurred.
One alternative being evaluated is to update the assignment field ( bseg -zuonr) for the sales order.
To do this, one of the SD user exits , perhaps SDVFX008, would be necessary to update the sales order from vbrp-vbel2 to bseg-zuonr.
I am concerned about
1) will the update work
2) what will be the effect on summarization
If we try to implement the user exit , would we be successful to just update the assignment field for just the COGS accruall account. _Therefore the next effect is that AR,Rev, etc, would summarize , but the COGS clearing would break out due to the update to the assignment field..
Does anyone have any experience similar to this situation.
Thank you,
Jeff

Hi
You can use SDVFX008 or FI Substitution exit RGGBS000 (Form U100)
You can very well update the required GL (COGS Clearing) with the Sales order No... However, how exactly it would behave upon summarization, I am not sure about that.. you need to develop that and see
In the COGS account during PGI, Sales Order No is populated always in the field "Sales Order"... In your case, the COGS clearing account should be having sales order no populated...
So, if you are successful to populate Sales Order No during billing in the "Sale Order" Field for the COGS clearing account, that should also suffice...
or See if you can have relevant sort key in FS00 for the COGS clearing account so that Sales order no is always populated..

Question on linkage of idoc with document number created in SAP R/3

Hi all,
I have a query related to IDOC.
When inbound IDOC is posted into SAP R/3 it creates Material document number or billing document number is generated in SAP R/3.
Question: <b>Do we have interface monitor in SAP R/3 Where I can see the linkage of Idoc number with the document number created in SAP R/3.</b>
Need your help on this any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but you can look at the IDOC in WE02/WE05 and look at the header segments to get the document number.

Billing document not existing in SAP

Hi,
As per my understanding, number ranges are assigned internally by the system for the billing document. Then how is it possible to miss one number inbetween.
EG: i have a billing document with number 12,14,15, what happened to billing document number 13. Please clarify under waht all sitaution a number is misssed though the number rangea are perfectly set.
This is a high priority issue for us. request your help.

Hello Prithika,
There are a number of reasons why gaps in invoice numbers may occur:
1. Object RV_BELEG is buffered. In this case the performace is improved
but this gaps are produced.
2. Update terminate/shortdump occures while billing document update.
- the number is set in to the invoice at the beggining of the program
If an interruption of the process happens after the assignation of
this number, the number has run in the range and cannot be recovered.
Update terminations in transaction VF01 and VF04. The billing
document number is reserved prior to the update. After a possible
update termination, it cannot be used again. Update terminations are
displayed in transaction SM13. At present, there is no possible
solution.
3. Incorrect userexit, eg.in Program RV60AFZZ, USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE.
Please check the following notes in order to solve this incidence:
175047 Causes for FI document number gaps (RF_BELEG)
19050 Gaps in document number sequence for billing docmt
23835 Buffering RV_BELEG / Number assignment in SD
As you might need to answer to the auditor on the gap of the invoices,
report RFBNUM00 from note 175047 will help you to display
document number gaps to the auditor if in your country the FI document
numbers must be assigned continuously. You use this report to document
the number gaps and the auditor will accept it.
We know that in different countries you have to explain document gaps
to Legal Authorities. For this reason there is report RFVBER00 to
document gaps occured due to an update termination.
As I already stated above report RFVBER00 does only list update
terminations that are not older than 50 days (or according to what time
is maintained in your system). So it could be that this log has already
been cleaned up. It is necessary that these update terminations are
documented before the 50 days expire.
Or a second possibility is that the gaps occured NOT due to an update
termination. Gaps without update terminations be (easily) explained.
They can be (only) detected via report RFBNUM00. Report RFBNUM00 display
these document number gaps for the number range object RF_BELEG.
Thanks,
Alex

Upload MR results which already billed from Legacy System to SAP

Hello Experts,
We want to implement ISU-Water .
Before Implementing SAP, we want to Upload Last Year's MR results (From the Previous system..) ,to let SAP use these results as a basis for Estimation.
To have these Meter Readings in DB tables, I probably need to start scheduling 1 year before the actual start of Using SAP,then I will Create Meter Reading Orders and Upload the MR Results, but:
I don't want to Bill these MR results,because they already billed in legacy system.
How can I perform this ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Michael.

Hi,
Historical Profiles is just a profile type used to store past meter data. But to maintain this historical data u need to attach the profile to the installation using load profiles. There is a button on the left top (called load profiles) where you can attach this historical profile to the installation to maintain the historical profile to the installation (similar to updating a operand in installation facts for basic meters)
Use the following path to define a new profile type:
SAP Utilities --> Energy Data Management --> Basic Settings --> Profile Type --> Define Profilet Types
Create a Historical profile in transaction EEDM06 with profile type historical. and upload the historical meter reads to this profile using a program.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you,

Strange question mark error while opening pdf files in adobereader from SAP

Hi Gurus
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
Pavan

Thank you for the quick reply.
We tried many notes from Service Market Place. Also, Windows Team is in contact with Adobe.
As per Adobe's suggestions, we tried changing preferences of Adobe Reader. We think it might be a problem with SAP Frontend.
Present status - Issue still exists. nothing works.
Thank you

Is it possible to assign a cost center from SD billing to FI doc in SAP?

Hi All,
Our users hope to create a billing and change a revenue account to a expense account. (because this billing is not revenue and user hope it is cost reduction)
But the expense account has created a cost element and set the cost element category as 01 (Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues). User can create billing, but can not post FI document. The error meesage is "Account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object"
How can I change the account do not need cost center?
Or may I assign a cost center at SO/Billing?
Best regards,
Eric

Hi
See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting and try with the proper enhancement (perhaps EXIT_SAPLV60B_004). Try to populate the field ACCIT-KOSTL, because I think that with customizing tcode OKB9 you could not do it.
I hope this helps you
