How to stop invoice creation after delivery

How do I stop invoice creation after delivery?

1. I have configured a billing block in VOV8. 
2. Now, I place an order #1272.
3. Billing block is there at the Order --> Header level.   It works for the order.
4. Delivery is created which is fine.

However, when I check Billing due list using T-code VF04 the order shows up on the list.

Also, it allows me to create an invoice using T-code VF01.  I DO NOT want that. 

How do I stop invoice creation after delivery?

Thank you for your help,

Victor

BTW,  I checked the forum there are no answers that could help.

Check the billing block that you have added in VOV8 is assigned to the billing document type at SPRO-> sales and distribution -> billing -> billing documents -> define blocking reasons for billing.

The blocking reason was already defined....after that VOV8 block was placed.

SPRO-> sales and distribution -> billing -> billing documents -> define blocking reasons for billing.

Thank you for your help..

Hi,

Check whether you are using that particular document type(order) or some other.

Can you explain clearly how the issue is resolved. You have mentioned that your response was correct, but it did not elaborate how it is resolved. When closing the thread, please update the forum so that other members with similar issue can benefit from your updates.

Hi,

Billing Block is not for hiding the document but to restricts the document not to be processed and forwarded to accounting, until the block gets removed. the due list VF04 will always show all the documents due for billing, but you can only process documents which does not have any blocks.

Hi Amit,

I want to block/restrict/prevent Invoice creation.   I placed the block with the blocking reasons.   It is a funky behavior since, it is not behaving the way one would expect....

Block should prevent invoice creation...But, it does. 

Thanks

Hi Victor,

Idealy this should not happen.

If the billing block is set, even in VF01 or VF04, it would not allow  Billing document to be generated.

You may want to check if there is an user exit implemented that is set to remove the particular block.

Hope it helps.
