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

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.
Regards,
Krishna

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,

Billing document archiving

Dear all,
We have archived billing document using SD_VBRK in SAP 4.7. After the archiving, we can display archived billing doc in VF07, but the output option was disable. Which mean we can reprint the document.
Is any one have a workaround?
thanks a lot.

Hi Jess,
I am afraid I do not have very good news for you. Once you have archived a billing document, you can view it, but cannot reprint it. A lot of companies image their billing documents prior to archiving them so they will be able to reprint them if necessary. One reason this functionality is not provided is that usually, the print program or layout has changed since the document was archived so you would not be able to provide what the original invoice looked like (which is usually necessary in a legal situation).

Billing document number issue

i want to generate the billing doc. number as the sales order number (exactly the same number)
how can i do this ???

Hi Ahmed,
I doubt whether this can be achieved through user exit as the billing number range is always maintained for internal number assignment.
Similarly I do not understand this unique requirement, as there may be n number of sales orders which might have different completion life cycle.There might be some sales order that might be punched & cancelled after a definite period. Blocking the invoice number for such type of sales orders would create chaos in the finance reconcilation.
Secondly this scenario can be accomplised with User exit only with the below mentioned Precondition
1. Each order that has been punched needs to complete its full transaction cycle immediately.

Billing document creation issue

Hi,
I created an intercompany contract when i goto VF01 and execute it log is generated and it says
"000010 Error no WBS billing element found while substituting WBS element*******"
What should i do now?

Dear friend,
For intercompany there is no need for WBS element. Kindly make it an optional entry for your sales order level.
Or else consult with your PS consultant who has created this WBS element.

Hi,
There is a simple solution provided by SAP to trigger the BILLING DOCUMENTS for Deliveries
This is a standard process
Setup a Job in SM36 for the program SDBILLDL and it will pick all the delivery document which are open on that particular Billing date
and process the Billing documents
Alternatively you can also create the IDOC to trigger the BILLING DOCUMENTS
For which you need to setup the PARTNER PROFILES, MESSAGE TYPES, PORT, RFC DESTINATION, SEGMENT CREATION,
But i would suggest you to go with the standard program to create the Billing documents

Intercompany process-F2 billing document profit center assignment

Dear SAP friends
I would really appreciate if somebody could help us identify the following profit center billing document assignment issue.
We have a intercompany process scenario:
Company code A, sales organization A, Plant A.
Company Code B, Sales organization B, Plant B.
Sales organization A is the sales party which belong to company code A, The goods is delivered from Plant B which belongs to company B. The F2 billing document will be posted to Sales organization A. We have already assigned the profit center C in the material master of all the plants, sales organization level we could think about. During the sales order and delivery creation, the profit center C is automatically determined in the sales order and delivery level. However the profit center C can not be automatically determined in the F2 billing document level. We understand we could maintain automatic account assignment of revenue elements in CO-profit center accounting area. However this would be our last choice.
We have no issues with F2 billing document profit center determination if its non-intercompany process. But with the intercompany process, the profit center can not be determined in the F2 billing document level. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ning

Ideally the profit centre from sales order should have been passed to subsequent document & should also be determined in Billing Document. You will have to check with FI consultant the probable reason, as they will be the correct consultant to look into the issue & mend it.

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:

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 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
Edited by: gbharatkumar14 on Dec 16, 2011 10:20 AM

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

Billing document 90000022 does not exist
Message no. VF041
Diagnosis
The billing document you specified does not exist.
This document was possibly archived.

Hi Panda,
If your Billing document is archived then you can see that document by different screen:
1. Goto SARI -->Click Archive explore --> Mention SD_VBRK -->then enter the billing document no in the billing no selection field. This will help.
2. Goto SE16 --> Enter Billing document no in proper selection field then billing document is displayed.
3. Goto VF07 --> Enter Billing document no in proper selection field then billing document is displayed.
Hope this will help you.

Archiving single billing document

Do any one know how to do archiving for a single document , we have a billing document and that needs to be archived .
Regards
Sujan

Hi
Thanks for your reply
i am getting an issue while executing SARA
i have created a variant for the object SD_VBRK and executed it in write program
I am getting below error
No variants have been maintained for the delete program. Consequently, the delete program cannot be run.
System Response=>
It is only possible to run the delete program if you have maintained variants for the delete program in both test and production modes in the Customizing settings. You must also ensure that these variants actually exist.
If the delete program is to be triggered automatically by the write program, you must have maintained the variants for the delete program
Procedure=>
Create a test mode variant and a production variant for the delete program in the archive object and maintain the Customizing settings for the archiving object.
In transaction AOBJ, select the relevant archiving object and choose: Customizing Settings -> Delete Program Settings: Test Mode/Production Mode.
Or in transaction SARA choose: Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: Technical Settings
i tried doing Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: Technical Settings...dint find any option to control
And also i dint find anything to maintain variant in delete Program
Could you please let me know how to fix this.....do i need to do any config to fix it.

Issue in Transfer of Billing document to GTS

Hi Experts,
I have a question on the transfer of billing documents and the creation of customs declaration. All the documents are struck in the ECC queue and not transferred automatically to GTS system. The problem is that when I manually push them in SM58 it is procesing immediately but the program RSARFCEX is not picking the entries and posting them. Also there are lots of errored entried in the SM58 for this destination.
Kindly help me.
Regards,
Vijay V

This issue is resolved. This was due to the large error entries in the SM58 for the specific destination. We have reorganised the trfc queues and now it works perfectly.
