Sales Order - VBAK - FKARA (order-related billing document) Update

[Former Member]

Hello guru,

We have one issue where we created one new billing document type to replace existing billing document. We also assigned the new billing doc type in VOV8. But unfortunatly we have so many open sales order which captured exising billing document type in VBAK table. Need your to update this field in all open sales order.

We can't close and create new sales order as we have too many sales order. Is there any way to update or chnage this field in existing sales order.

Field - VBAK - FKARA (order-related billing document)

Regards

Hello Siva ,

Thank you for your information. UNfortunatly the utility you given is not updating this field. We did some custom development to solve this issue.

Option 1 - User exit in sales order to update the field while saving.

Option 2 - User exit in billing which create billing with new billing type if the sales order contains old billing type.

we went for option 2.

Regards

Ram

Hi Ram,

Can you pl explain me the implications , as I'm creating a new sales order type- ZSSL and a new billing type-ZSWF which has to be used exclusively for the new sales order type ZSSL only.

Unfortunately, when i create a sales order contract with ZSSL, its still picking up old billing type instead of ZSWF. I have done all configs in VOV8(Maintained ZSWF in order related billing type under billing for ZSSL) and also maintained copy controls in VTFA / VTAA / VTFF.

Any thoughts on this?
