Maximum number of Deliveries for Collective Billing

[former_member571474]

Dear Experts, During our month-end closing process, we usually have a huge number of deliveries that need to be invoiced. For e.g. for April, we had 11,849 deliveries (with one line item each). For this, we used collective billing in our system by scheduling a background job in sm37, that is configured with a variant created in vf04. At the end of the background job, I noticed that still 2002 deliveries that based on the variant, should have been picked by the background job were not invoiced, which means out of 11,849 deliveries, 9847 were invoiced and the rest were not. Is there a limit to the number of deliveries that can be handled by collective billing in SD?

Answer is NO. If you have scheduled the job in background and there is no incompletion log for the said deliveries, system should generate billing document. Did you check the job log? This is also assuming that multiple deliveries not considered under one billing document in which case, you might get F5727 or F5807

There is no in-completion log on the missed deliveries, as I tried invoicing them in VF04 simulation run and they were picked up there.

I also checked the job log both in sm37 and v.21, both of them do not show any errors on deliveries that were not invoiced.

Just some additional information:

I found a SAP OSS note 111813 which mentions about how collective billing program first sorts and then splits selected VF04 deliveries into batches of 1000 deliveries. If I sort the VKDFS table the way SAP sorts it I can see that in my case, the first 9847 deliveries are invoiced, only the last 2002 deliveries were not.
