Billing with two different references for same document

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I want to know if, with standard customizing, I can do the following within the same process :

1/ Billing the commercial customer with reference to the sales order

2/ Billing the other company (intern invoice) with reference to the delivery

It's a return process.

For example :

1/ Sales order RE

2/ Delivery LR

3/ Invoic LR reference to the sales order RE

3bis/ Invoic IG reference to the delivery LR

I tried to change the billing relevance in the item category REN but it does'nt work. I can't find the one which can do this ...

Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex,

that process is possible.

The item category must have billing relevance TVAP-FKREL relevant for order-related billing (example 'B').

Result: the sales order item will be relevant only for customer invoice; the delivery item will be relevant only for intercompany invoice.

Additional information: the change the billing relevance does not affect the already existing sales orders/deliveries.

After change the billing relevance you should test the effect on new documents.

See the SAP notes [127514|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/127514] [319866|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/319866] about this.

Best regards,

Hi Ivano,

I can almost do <hat I want with the B as billing relevance. I can do the invoice with reference to the sales order but :

when I do VF04, I can see the intercompany invoice with reference to the delivery, but when I try to save it, I got the following error :

" The document is not relevant for billing"

It's really weird, I can see this delivery to be invoiced in the table VKDFS, everything seems all right...

Do you have an idea please ?

Thanks

Hi Alex,

please check in customizing copy control (transaction VTFL), the requirement routine set at header and item level.

they must check the intercompany billing statuses VBUK-FKIVK and VBUP-FKIVP respectively, and must NOT to check the billing statuses VBUK-FKSTK, VBUP-FKSTA.

In the standard delivered customizing the routine 014 at header level and 015 at item level are set checking only the intercompany billing statuses.

Best regards,

Ivano.

Yes It is possible to create a one billing document with reference to sales order and delivery document. pls check both copy control and splitting rules.
