Billing block at the customer level.

[Former Member]

I have defined a billing block and have assigned that block to a customer for a particular sales area. After that I created an order for that customer. I was assuming that the Billing Block field on the sales order will be populated with the block I assigned at the customer level. But that is not happening. Am I missing some step or is this the standard process, that the billing block assigned at the customer level will not appear on the sales order and this comes into picture only when I try to create the invoice?

Vijay,

Your guess is right.

The billing block you assigned to the customer will come into the picture only when you are trying to create the billing document.

If you want the Billing block to be populated on the order, you can achieve it by user exit coding in the include MV45AFZZ.

Hope you r clear.

Hi Ginu

Billing Block will not worked if you did not assign it

Define the possible block indicators in SM30 - V_TVFS

and

allocate them to the billing types concerned in SM30 - V_TVFSP.

Your Billing Block will not worked if you did not assigned it to the desired billing types.

You can auto block by :-

1. sales document type in transaction VOV8, fields Billing Block,

or

2. item categories in SM30 - V_TVAP, by filling the fields Billing Block.

Reward if useful to u

Vijay,

As you have mentioned Billing Block ...It will come into picture at the time of creating an invoice in VF01...And it will not be applicable to previous SD Docs like Sales Order & Delivery...

But if u want the same to bae for SO you will have to use UserExit in MV45AFZZ.

Consult with ur ABAPer regarding the same....

(Also you can explore SOrder Block if required..)

REWARD IF U FINDS THIS AS HELPFUL...

Dear Vijay,

Since you have blocked the customer for Billing only meaning that the customer 's

Order and delivery are still possible.Only Billing is blocked for this customer.This is the way the systyem treats the billing block for a customer.

Reward points if u find the answer useful.

Thanking you,

Best regards,
