Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Gurus

I transfer stocks from one plant to other plant beloging to same co code.

My STPO type isUB an ddelivery type is NL.

Delivery item category is NLN.

I am facing a problem while creating proforma invoice F8; System gives error *"The item is not relevant for billing"*What are the settings required to create proforma invoice for this.

Standard SAP stock process stops at PGI for outbound delivery.

Proforma invoice is required to carry out pricing and excise invoice. Client wants excise to be calculated at a specific value.

thanks

Vijay

Go to VOV7.

Select Item category NLN and check value maintained for billing relevance.

If not maintained , maintain J

check and revert

Hi Victor,

As every one has pointed out , you have to maintain the billing relevance in "VOV7" for 'NLN' Iterm category. As you are doing the Intracompany STO(Which is sto between different plants of same company code)., by default this is not relevant for billing.But In "NLN" the defualt Billing relevance would be "J"( But it is valid only for Plants Abraod scenario). Plants abroad scenario is nothing but yopu have the Comapny code in once country and the supplying plant will be in the same country and the ordering plant will be in different conutry. In that case you will be creating an Invoice of "WIA" type. So you maintain billing releavnce as "J". To enable that SAP has provided that. But as you have the Plants(I imagine this) in the same country and you want a Proforma, Maintain the billing relevance in "NLN" as "D" and maintain the copy controls between "LF" and "F8 and MAINTAIN copying requirments at header level as "09" . Check the billing relevance in delivery document aswell once you maintain all the above. . Kindly please let me know If you need any more Information on this.

I tried every suggestion. But still I am facing the same problem.

System throws error in LOG " Item not relevent for Billing"

Do I need to maintain copy control in VTFA for sales doc to billing doc also ? DL--F8

Dear,

If you have the above said setting then issue is not with configuration but with process.

Please check whether you are following the same,

1) Create Purchage order with order type UB.

2) Create Delivery in backgroun by Tcoed: VL10B/VL10D

3) Do PGI of Delivery Document by Tcoed: VL02N( Probably you are missing this step if I am not wrong)

4) Now do Billing

For pro-forma invoice, PGI of the delivery is not a required pre-condition.

[Have look at SAP Best Practice J51 - Internal Procurement (Stock Transfer With Delivery)|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/html/J51_IntProcSTwD_EN_US.htm]

Also check if you are selecting F8 type manually for processing the delivery or assuming the system to take it automatically.

friends i tried every possibility.

Billing relevance D A and J

Copy control in Billing F8 NL for item category NLN

I am still getting the same error.

I am following the stnadard stock transfer flow...ie ... STPO then creating deliveru with VL10b then PGI through VL02N and then Billing with manually selecting billing type F8.

All the standard SAP documents describe the process till PGI only.

Do I need to maintain copy control from Sales Doc DL to Billing Doc F8 for that?

Hi

Item not relevant for billing means there can be only two possibilities

1 In Correct Billing relevance in item category in VOV7

2. In Correct Copy control configuration

There cannot be a third mistake So we need to check these two only

For Item category NLN in VOV7 make sure billing relevance is maintained as A or D or J Preferably A or D

In My server it is maintained as A only and it works perfectly

In VTFL between delivery type NL to F8 at header level make sure copying requirements is maintained as 009 and at item level for Item category make sure NLN copying requirements is maintained as 010

These correct settings will solve your error

After making the corrections in configuration please create a fresh cycle and see and dont test it with already created delivery

If still not coming in VF01 choose the billing type as F8 Manually and then try to execute

All the standard SAP documents describe the process till PGI only.

Stock transfer order with PO order type means INTRA COMPANY and that is supported billing type F8 proforma billing type if required

Check the following

1. Copy control should exits for Billing type F8 and Delivery type NL and for Item category NLN coping requirement should be 010

Check this in T.code VTFL

2. Check Billing relevance in Item category - Maintain this as J .

Check this in T.code VOV7

Check and confirm

Hi

First check the billing status in the delivery item level it should be "A' then only you will able to create proforma invoice

Kindly go to the item category VOV7 and for the item category NLN put " A " in the billing relevance

By doing the above you problem will resolve
