How to change sd-invoice items classification values?

[Former Member]

Hi!

Are there any possibilities(customizing, transactions, abap) to change characteristics values for sd-invoice items?

Transaction VF02 doesn't permit to do this.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Hello Maxim,

I guess, you have to change sales order (VA02). Doesn't make much sense to have different characteristics in the beginning of the document flow?

Hi, Christian!

The goal is to split plan data (sales order characetristics values) and actual data (invoice characteristics values) on the stage of shipping. So I need mechanism to change invoice classification separately from corresponding sales order. Invoice is created based on delivery for sales order.

Hope make clear my point.

Hi!

To be honest: I couldn't follow you in all parts:

which <i>configuration</i> can change in delivery - but never mind, your customer will have a reason.

We are using configuration and I checked VBAP and VBRP entries for one material: VBRP-CUOBJ links to same (= identical number) configuration as VBAP-CUOBJ. I'm not sure, but I guess there is no functionality deactivated in our system.

Conclusion: invoice displays just configuration of sales order - there is no independent configuration available (which you might change).

Proposal: if in delivery changes are necessary, update sales order and go on in processing. Think about an own history (which value was desired by customer, which value was delivered), perhaps by using 'input'-characteristics and 'actual'-characteristics.

Hi, Christian!

Your arguments finally make me sure such functionality is forbidden in the current standard. Besides OSS notes say that internal configurator was specially <i>redesigned</i> to keep configuration consistency through documents flow. The appropriate solution, as you noticed, is changing sales order.

Thanks for productive collaboration!
