Billing Items with no value

[Former Member]

Hi,

We repice at billing stage, and some items can come through with zero value, but the accounting document will still created.

We would like to prevent the accounting document from creating when you have an item with zero value.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Finbarr O'Donovan,

We can control till the billing document, but Accounting documents i am not sure.

Instead of waiting till Accounting documents why can't we stop at invoice creation itself. If that were to be so.

1. In Item Category details screen maintain Billing Relevence = Empty, That will avoid create billing document.

2. Try using User Exit RV60AFZZ by getting Abaper's Help. Thereby restricitng creation of invoices with zero values. so no acounting documents are created.

The Accounting value depends on the Net value of the header amount in the billing document. There r some cases where we issue free goods to the customer which come in the billing document with 0 value so there is not a standard way of stopping the accounting if a single item has value of 0.

Hello Friend,

I think from standard SAP configurations this cannot be achieved. I feel you should take the help of your Technical consultant and have to put a validation for the standard program as to if value is zero then accounting document should not be generated. But suppose take a scenario there are 5 line items in a billing document and 2 have zero value so in that case how do you want address the issue as Accounting document is generated for the whole document and not individual items.

Hi,

We would be hoping that if one item has a zero value then the whole document would be not be passed to accounting.

Hi,

Make use of the Exit

USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP ( In The include RV60AFZC) OR

Use the Exits in the Include RV60AFZZ to force a hardblock to the posting status.

If any one of the items net value is zero then

VBRK - RFSBK ( Posting Status ) = 'A' (Billing document blocked for forwarding to FI)

when you save the document, this will not be forwarded to the accounts. This has to be later reviews and released separately.

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately these userexits are called prior to item pricing and are not called after pricing have been carried out.

Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks,
