How to have invoice only for main/header material of BOM although it is not relevant for pricing?

[purna_tripathy]

Scenario-

Order is getting priced at Item Level. User wants to pick the component material in delivery, but wants to make the invoice for header material. The component material should not appear in invoice.

Requirement is to show the header level material only in invoice and the value for of the order in that line item.

Configs created-

I have done the TAP-TAN item category set up, where I maintained the component level item as not relevant for billing.

However as Header level(TAP) is not relevant for pricing, no price/zero value comes in invoice for the line item.

Can anyone please let me know, Is there any way to resolve it through standard config?

Apparently, your header item needs to be pricing-relevant, which probably means a z* item category 🙂

If the business wishes to maintain prices on component level - I recommend reading about standard condition type KUMU. SAP note 844141 - FAQ: Cumulated conditions is a good starting point.

If the business prefers to maintain prices on header material level - then the header item needs to be pricing and billing relevant and you will need the components only for logistics purposes (that means no pricing, no billing relevance).

Thanks for your comment!

Business wants pricing at component level, However wants invoice for Header level item only( no component material should appear in invoice). Where I feel like it is not a appropriate condition, however I wanted to know if this is possible?

I hope cumulative condition would be the preferable choice.

Yes, it should be possible with KUMU condition (after you change the pricing relevance).

The business request is not unreasonable: if they have a lot of finished product combinations and relatively few components, then it makes sense to keep pricing at component level and show in the invoice the finished product.

I believe your requirement is only on the output which means, in SAP, you maintain pricing at item level but in billing output, the prices should be accumulated and show at header level. If this is what your requirement, then, you need to take the help of your ABAP team to add the required coding in the smart form being used for printing billing documents.

Thanks for your reply.

According to your suggestion, I can accumulate the values of component level material and show the net value against header level/ main material in the output of invoice?

Thanks a lot Veselina for your reply.

As I don't have S user ID as of now, I am not able to read the SAP Note. Can you please let me know which Step I should put the KUMU condition type in pricing procedure for the header material?

Is there any standard pricing procedure for BOM material with KUMU condition type?

If you have no S-user - request one from your local IT (your colleagues should be able to tell you what is the procedure in your company) as this is important for you to do your job.

As a workaround until you get access to the support portal - can ask a colleague who already has sufficient authorizations to help you out.

You can find some information on cumulated conditions in the official SAP help, but the note that I mentioned is a lot better than what you can find in help.sap.com.

Yes you can with the help of your ABAP team
