Partner Determination in Billing Document

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have created a Sales Document and a Delivery Document and in both the documents I can change the partner functions. When I am creating a Billing document I am trying to change the partner function but I am unable to change the partner functions. Can anyone help me out with the way so the I can change the partner functions while creating a Billing Document.

Thanks

Hi,

You cannot change the partner at the billing level.

Because if you are in the billing level means,delivery is already over.So ship-to-party you cannot change.

And if you do the billing then the accounting document will be generated.

And the Customer account will be debited automatically.

So we cannot make changes at this level.

Even if want to change the partners,then cancel this invoice by using the T.Code "VF02/VF11".

Goto the T.code "VA02".

Enter your order number.

Change the partner details.

And create the new delivery after deleting the old one.

Or if you want to change the payer then you need not go to the orer level.You can directly change in the delivery level.

Hi

In Billing document means, I think you are talking of Payer.

You can NOT change Payer in Billing document in SAP.

If, it is required to change the Payer then you have to cancel the Billing document. Who is the Payer for the Sold-to-party, system determines it in the Sales order and it is copied to the Billing document.

So, if required, change the Payer in the Sales order at Header level > Partner tab or at item level as required.

Remember, Billing is one of themain interface to FI. Once Biling doc issaved all transfer to accounting and it should be debited to the right Payer. That is why it is disable in Billing.
