SD: Billing : Invoices send to incorrect customers

Hi All,
We are facing a peculiar issue at our client Produciton system while generating (collective - mass) invoices.
Following are the details
System Details
R/3 version - 4.6C
OS - Windows
DB- MSSQL
The following program - RV60SBT1 ( Creating Billing Documents Collectively ) is run daily to generate billing documents for those deliveries PGI'd.
All these invoices use output type - External Send ( Soft copy of Invoice to customer via e-mail, PDF Format ) and processing mode - Send Immediately (While saving the application).
We have used place holder symbols in Text for cover page of communication method to display Customer PO / SAP Invoice number, this information will appear on the subject line of the e-mail.
The output of the invoice displays relevant information while created individually or manually.
But descrepancies occur while performing collective run only.
The following cases occur:-
Issue 1 u2013 The subject line is incorrect, the invoice is correct, the e-mail reaches the correct customer
Issue 2 u2013 The subject line is correct, the invoice is wrong (the invoice no. generated in output is incorrect), the e-mail reaches the wrong customer
Issue 3 u2013 The subject line is incorrect, the invoice is wrong (the invoice no. generated in output is incorrect) , the e-mail reaches the wrong customer
Please provide your suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod

Hi Vinod
Even we faced the same problem in our production server.
The solution is technical, when we are sending mails/output is huge numbers through VF06/04, there would be some problem with BUFFER.
So technical team need to write clear buffer code in starting of there print program.
take help of ABAP team.

Export Indicator in the Billing Invoice Header

How does the Export Indicator field gets populated in the billing invoice doc. (from what specific source)? I have an invoice where the accounting doc. didnu2019t generate ... it referenced 'foreign trade data incomplete', yet both are for DOMESTIC customers. In the header for the invoice the Export Indicator was marked w/ an u2018Xu2019. I'm trying to determine how that field could get populated since the invoice for domestic customer (where would it be pulling from)?

Siva
When you create a UDF at the Marketing document header, it creates it for all marketing document both AR and AP.
You could Open the AR document Press CTRLShiftB and uncheck VISIBLE on the user field.
The formatted search query would be
SELECT T0.CARDCODE, T0.CARDNAME FROM [DBO\].[OCRD\] T0 WHERE T0.CARDTYPE = 'C'

How to pick up installment plan in alternate bill (invoice)

Hi,
For a certain rate category (product), we are moving from monthly billing cycle to fortnightly billing cycle.
Installment plans are already created for customers such that installment is due on 1st day of every month.
As per contract terms, we can not break down installments further and should be charged only once in a month.
E.g. installment due dates are 01.04.2011, 01.05.2011....
Earlier this was charged once in a month, as billing cycle was monthly.
Now when we move from monthly cycle to fortnightly cycle, installment is being picked up in each fortnight (though due date is not reached).
E.g.
For bill period 01.04.2011-15.04.2011, billing/invoicing is done on 15.04.2011, one installment is picked up corresponding to installment due date 01.04.2011. This is okay.
For bill period 16.04.2011-30.04.2011, billing/invoicing is done on 30.04.2011, again new installment is picked up (which is due on 01.05.2011).
Here we want to avoid installment being charged in second fortnight which is not yet due. This should be picked up in subsequent cycle.
Please advise how to handle this, is there any event etc. where we can make some changes?
Thanks,
Sachin Joshi

Sachin:
Look at event R411 for solution to your issue. You can adjust line items pulled in for due date synchronization. You might also reconsider the restriction of the IP line items since the items are no longer requested on same cycle as billing.

How to check if a user fills a header text in billing invoice

Hi everybody and thanks in advance.
My consultant wants to oblige all users to fill a header text when they create the billing invoice (vf01).
I was looking for several user exits when I can manage this requisite.
My problem is that when the user creates the invoice and push save button, I try to look for in the table STXH if the user created the header text. But I have not found anything, because the invoice has not created yet.
Only when the billing invoice has saved, the header text is stored in the table STXH.
I has been trying to find a structure wich contains the header data like xvbrk contains the data about type of invoice, etc.
I have studied this user exits:
userexit_number_range (module pool saplv60A, program rv60afzz)
userexit_account_prep_komkcv (same module)
userexit_account_prep_kompcv (same module)
userexit_fill_vbrk_vbrp (same module)
v60A0001 (Customer functions in the billing document).
My question is: In which structure is the header text of billing invoice manage before push the save button?
If I knew where it is, I could manage the data and check if the user filled the header text.
Thank you very much, and sorry for my pour English.

David,
Place this code into USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE:
DATA: CATALOG LIKE TCATALOG OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
      MEMORY_ID(30).
data: c_MEMORY_ID(30) VALUE 'SAPLSTXD'.
DATA l_head type THEAD.
DATA wa_head type THEAD.
data: l_lines type table of TLine.
data: l_line type TLine.
DATA l_CATALOG type TCATALOG.
IMPORT CATALOG FROM MEMORY ID 'SAPLSTXD'.
loop at catalog into l_catalog.
   if l_catalog-IS_REFTEXT is initial
   and l_catalog-keep is initial.
     concatenate c_memory_id l_catalog-id into memory_id.
     import thead to l_head
            tline to l_lines
       from memory id memory_id.
     loop at l_lines into l_line.
       message i000(zz) with l_line-TDLINE.
     endloop.
   endif.
endloop.
It will expose the text entered into the text ids in a message box (for now). You will want to replace the MESSAGE statement with your own logic.
You may also need to change the message numver/class from ZZ - as seen here "message i000(zz) with l_line-TDLINE." with an appropriate message on your system.
DON'T forget those points.

Self billing invoice with input tax code

Hello experts,
we are currently trying to implement a billing procedure with credit memos within the module SD. In this set-up the recipient of a service (company using the SAP) creates a credit memo for the renderer of a service (a debitor in SAP) showing the amount the recipient of the service/product has to pay. The credit memo will also show VAT (we currently only try to implement a process for transaction within Germany, no cross-border transactions yet). For the recipient of the service (= issuer of the credit memo) the credit memo is similar to an incoming invoice (self billing invoice). Hence, the shown VAT on this credit memo - if all other requirements are met - can be treated as deductible input tax.
In order to automatically process the credit memo correctly as incoming invoice it has to be linked to a tax code (Steuerkennzeichen) with tax type "V" (=input tax) (Vorsteuerkennzeichen). To achieve that we have created a new condition record (Konditionssatz) that performs that task.
So currently we create a credit memo request (Gutschriftsanforderung) which is linked to an input tax code (Vorsteuerkennzeichen) via mentioned condition record. We then create the billing document. During creating the billing document an accounting document should also be created. But that is where our approach does not work properly. The system creates a billing document (credit memo) but does not create the corresponding accounting document. We receive the error message:
Document .... saved (no accounting document generated)
Message no. VF050
When trying to release the document to FI via Transaction VF02 we receive the following, more detailed error message:
Only output tax is allowed for account 480000 1000, VZ is not allowed
Message no. FS215
This problem has to be somehow linked to the usage of an input tax code. If we perform the same procedure with an output tax code (Ausgangsteuerkennzeichen) we will not receive the error message and an accounting document is created.
It seems that the account determination is responsible for the described problem: Although an input tax code is assigned, the account key (as shown in the overview to the applied conditions on the items within the credit memo request (Item - Condition - Detail)) does not change from "MWS" to "VST" and therefore an output tax account (Account Number 480000) is determined for the tax amount. And for that output tax account the usage of an input tax code is not allowed.
Has anyone an idea how to solve the described problem or how to implement the billing procedure another way?
We are aware that there is such a functionality within the module MM called "Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)" but this is not suitable for our purposes since we want to implement this within SD and without the need to create an order first which seems to be necessary for ERS.
Thanks for your help,
Bernd

Hi
Please check in FS00, of that G/L account in control data tab what is the Tax Category that has been maintained.Check wheather input tax/output tax has been maintaind or not
In FS00 in the control tab check the box Posting without tax allowed

Exchange rate accounting (FI) in header of billing invoice

Hello.
I have got a question about the exchange rate accounting (FI) in the header of the billing invoice.
Situation:
When creating the billing document: on item level the exchange rate type B is correctly taken for the date of billing as determined in the customer master data and the copy control.
BUT what can I do to fix in the header of the billing invoice the exchange rate accounting M from the month of the sells document (usually they issue the sells document one month and the billing document a month later)??
I tried to put the correct exchange rate accounting in the sells document VBKD-KURRF, but the value is not taken automatically in the header of the billing document.
Pressing F1 I get the message: Exchange rate for FI postings
The exchange rate that the system applies when you create an invoice.
Use
Your system is configured in such a way that it expects:
No prefix (leading sign) for direct rates
No prefix for indirect rates
Can anyone help please??
Thank you.
Regards,
Maike

If you are maintaining the exchange rate in sale order in the field VBKD-KURSK (Exch.rate-acct. in header accounting tab) then this rate will be passed on to the billing document header Exchange rate-accntg field.
Check whether the PricingExchRate type field is maintained as blank in the copy controls from delivery to billing.

Posting block for self billed invoices

Hi ,
My requirement is once a self billed invoice is generated , it should not be readily available for payment. It should be first treated as blocked for payment. There should be a manual check which when unticked would make the invoice ready to be paid by accounts payable. Can this be done for only few selected self billed vendors.
Thanks in advance ,
Vinayak

HI VV
You can block the invoice manualy
Go to Payment tab in MIRO
enter the invoice and then on payment tab of the invoice u have the payment block over there
u can select the option over there and block it
Cheers
