SD Billing - Pricing error in Billing item

Dear Experts
Does anyone know of a way; config or abap to prevent a delivery item to go to billing if the new billing item results in a pricing error during VF01/VF04?
Background; we have a couple of very rare scenarios where the pricing is fine on the sales order but by the time the order gets through delivery processing to billing...along with some errors on the users part...well the re-pricing at billing time does not come up with a price.
The price is basically a copy of PR00.  And R/3 does issue a message V1 801, and stops the item from posting to accounting due to the error.
But it's still causing issues for Finance/Sales, and difficult to manage.
Really hoping there's a way to prevent the item from going to billing.  So the delivery item can just sit in the system until the pricing issue is addressed and then go to billing in the next run.
Even better would be if it showed up in the billing error log so we could track them.
I've dug through copy control, vofm, and config in the billing area.  But seems like the item has to go to billing so it can be re-priced in order to determine if there's a valid price or not.  Which then leaves us with the item - unless there might be a way to use userexit_fill_vbrk_vbrp to prevent the item from saving with the billing document.
But wondering if I've missed something in config for an easier approach?
Any ideas would really be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Devon

Hi Sathya,
Thank you for the reply. 
We'll definitely take another couple walkthrough's on the configuration.  Really, really hoping that we missed something here.  Although the solution has been in production now 6 years.
Definitely agreee that the authorizations are important to meet the segregation of duties, and they've been very diligent in this area to meet their SOx and other regulatory requirements.  One of the challenges in this issue has been that most the system updates are automated by batch jobs and many from interfaces to internal and external systems.  Rarely does a user handle a document.  Which has made it difficult to see where this originated.  Luckily this has only occured a couple times in last several years.
But when it does occur, it's after the fact that we find out and is not fun to deal with.
I like your suggestion on disciplining the users.  Part of this research is to see if we can determine what if any changes we can make on the users end without making significant changes to the business process.
Hoping to get some more time in the next few days and dig in to this a little more.  My original thoughts were that R/3 must give you some way to exclude these items in copy control, config, billing due list, or even userexit.  Which would be a nice quick win. 
But haven't found anything so far.
Best Regards,
Devon

    Try to reprice your line item by clicking on Update and choosing option B or C.
    This message appears bcas of a number of reasons but one main reason is in cases where the condition record is created after the document. Maybe when you created the invoice this condition record was not there.

  • Billing  - Pricing Error

    hi all
    here i have faced one problem is "pricing error in item 61" in billing document (VF01).
    What i am asking ,how do control this error in billing or this Error is converted to Error information ( must not allow to save).
    Regards.,
    Lakshmanan.S

    Hi Lakshmanan,
    As rightly said by Rajesh it is due to Pricing error at item 61. May be some price is missing for item 61. Go to item 61 and check the item pricing and maintain the missing prices.
    But to map your requirement please note the same issue can be catered by using incompletion log. Put the Net value field in the Incompletion log for Sales document on Item level. If system does not find a value it will stop you from saving the same.
    If you are getting a message no. anywhere during the process which starts with V4 then use T-code OVAH and search for the message no. Here at the end of each message you can see the change the configuration from Warrning to ERROR.
    Hope the above information helps you.
    REWARD if it helps you!!

  • Pricing error in billing - message V 55

    Hi All,
    Iam getting a error when creating a biiling document
    "Pricing error in sales document ", it is a delivery related biilling.
    Any thoughts !!!
    Regards
    sriram

    Dear Sriram
    First check in sale order whether the pricing is flowing for that particular line item.  Then go to VK12, input the condition type and execute.  There check whether the pricing is maintained and the validity period is within the billing date.
    On the other hand, in sale order itself, if the pricing is not flowing, then you need to maintain the same in VK11.
    thanks

  • Pricing Error in Billing document

    Hi All,
    I have an urgent Requirement....got an error during pricing. Using a new feild POSEX i have maintained Rate. In Scheduling Agreement i have to manually update to get the net value....? In billing i am not getting the net value.....system is not able to read the condition for POSEX. Even though i manually update the net value is zero......Kindly give a solution at the earliest....as m in golive stage.

    Kishan

    Hi,
    Kindly check the analysis in the condition tab page to check if the record which you are trying to maintain is being read by the system.
    Since this is the new field as you said,I am assuming that this field is present in the the field catelog so that you was able to create a condition table based on this field.
    If not the procedure is to add the new field to the field catelog using userexit.
    Confirm the above points and reward points if useful.

  • Pricing error

    Hello,
    When i am trying to create a F2 invoice i get this error message "Pricing error in line item 001" but docen't mention which condition type is missing. When i compere this invoice with an ivoice that has been cretaed successfully, i don't find any difference.
    Could someone please tell me how to proceed with investigation.
    Thank you

    Dear Customer,
    it seems to be that you get the error message VF 073.
    The reason of this message can be caused by many issues. Often if you jump directly in the invoice with transaction VF02 an go to the condtion detais, then you get an other message.
    For example a missing mandantory condtion, or wrong condition formulas or requirements.
    Please check the document again for formulas and so on.
    What is the result if you trigger a new pricing in the billing document?
    I hope that the information are helfpul.
    regards

  • Billing document not getting released to accounting - pricing error

    Hi,
    My client is facing problem in posting the billing document to accounting. Its showing " Pricing error"
    I have checked on the item conditions, there is no error. I checked the document flow and went to delivery. There is an item quantity split according to batch because of which one item - higher item in the batch is having ZERO quantity and the other items (which are also the same as higher level item in the batch) are having pricing not equal to zero.
    Now the client wants to release the billing document to accounting. What should I do so that the query gets resolved.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Pavi Ranjan

    Mandatory pricing condition ZPRP is missing. This message is coming when we do the account determination analysis for the items with quantity ZERO. ZPRP is a standard pricing condition type (created by copying PR00). For other items, the same is determined.
    Basically the thing is that item has been split due to batch in the delivery document. Therefore the items are coming like this in delivery:
    SNo  Material         batch         Quantity
    10      ABC            batch split    0
    11      ABC                                100
    12      ABC                                100
    Here the order is for item ABC with quantity 200 but in the delivery there are three lines for the same item.
    When billing is created for the delivery, mandatory pricing condition ZPRP is getting determined for item 11 and 12 but not for 10.
    Due to this, there is pricing error in the document and therefore it can not be posted to accounting.

  • Unable to create billing due to pricing error

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created sales order with two line items.For line item 10 I have maintained Price.For 2nd line item I haven't maintained the price and I saved the sales order with incomplete details for line item 20.Next I have created the delivery and PGI for line item 10 with reference to previous order.While I am trying to do Invoice for this delivery system has throwing the error message that Pricing error in sales order,but my doubt is here the line item 10 is complete status  and delivery has done with respect to line item 10 only and Invoice is F2 which is delivery related, then why its showing the error message.Please let me know why its not allowing to do the billing for line item 10.
    Regards,
    Hari Challa.

    Hi,
    Since you are referencing delivery document number during creation of billling document, system is checking the status of whole document.
    If you would have done partial delivery by selecting only one item during delivery document creation...probably while creating billing document ..you would not have received this error.
    And more over if the sales order is incomplete...how did the delivery document is created and subsequently the PGI.
    Maintain price for other material and try to do billing.

    There is a BOM item with item category group LUMF and the pricing happens at sub item level. In the sales order and the customer billing document the pricing happens at sub item level only.
    But in the intercompany billing the pricing happens at both main item and sub item levels. The pricing procedure is dfferent here.
    Both the sales pricing procedure and intercompany pricing procedure has the condition type ZI11. The requirement 22 is attached to the condition type at both the pricing procedures.
    In the intercompany pricing procedure, subtotal L is assigned to the condition type ZI11.
    The condition type ZI11 is configured as under.
    Access Seq : ZI11
    Condition class : B (Prices)
    Cond category : C (Qty)
    Rounding rule : commercial
    Manual Entries : B (Automatic entry has priority)
    Item condition
    Amount / percent
    Int-comp Billcond
    Can anyone tell me why the item is priced at both main & sub item level in the intercompany billing.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Please check with the defination of the Item cateogry for the Main Item for the InterCompany Invoice.
    The relevance for pricing should be ticked off.

    Hi,
    I think this is something related to Shipment costs calculation. First of all you need to complere the Shipment and proceed for VI01 for Shipment Cost Calculation. You need to maintain condition record for YBR0 and then create Invoice. Hope this will work for you. Please let us know for further problems.

  • Can we change pricing date for line item in billing

    Hi Expert,
    Can we change pricing date , while raising inoice for particular line iteam

    Hi,
    We can not change the pricing date for perticular line item at billing document level, the only option is we can enter the required date at the time of invoice creation in VF01 screen.
    If your requirement is copying the same pricing date that is entered at sales order, then do the following.
    Go to T Code:VTFL and choose your DElivery Type and Billing Type, then choose your item category and then change the pricing type as 'D' .

  • Pricing Error in Release Billing Documents for Accounting

    Hi All,
    While executing the VFX3  (clear off the billing list) system displaying the error message and when I click the error log the following error message displayed.
    "0090345866 000000 Document  0090345866 has been saved  (Pricing Error)"
    Can anybody through  some light what could be the reason ?
    Awaiting your valuable reasons.
    Srinivasa Chary

    Hi
    As others mentioned you need to look at conditions tab in Billing doc and see if there is any pricing related error. You can also use analysis part to see which condition has problem.
    Another reason could be  > the taxes on sales order and Billing doc may not have been calculated. The reason is there is no tax jurisdiction code maintained for the ship-to party in the sales order.
    If the above is the case, the tax jurisdiction code should be maintained for ship-to from within sales order ( Goto > header> partner > double click on ship-to and the address screen opens up. You can add tax jurisdiction and save the order. This will solve the problem for this sales order alone.
    If you run the new pricing with option copy pricing elements as it is and redermine taxes, your taxes will be calculated.
    This does not automatically correct your billing document error. You need to cancel billing doc (VF11) > reverse goods movement on delivery ( VL09) and unpick delivery and then delete delivery.
    After this, you need to again create delivery with ref to sales order > pick > PGI and then go for billing. This will now rectify the release to accounting issue.
    For permanent problem solving, you need to ask master data team to maintain tax jurisdiction code in ship-to customer using tcode XD03 or VD03...so that the subsequent transactions for this ship-to will be smooth.
