Wrong billing assignment number

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have 2 companies for which we use delivery based invoicing. Both companies use same order- delivery and billing types however for one of our company the invoice is generated with a wrong assignement number (being the shipment #). As per our configuration, in the copy control to billing the setting is E = billing doc. (no u-exit or any sort of customization).

The only difference between the companies is one is using the transportation module and the other doesn't. The issue arises with the one using the transportation module. The item sold can be the same in both company and are both ZTAN . This causes issues for our collection dept. as they use assignment number in the FI document being fed by the billing doc. to reconcile the multiple partial payments we have in our industry.

Note that this is not related to the GL account settings such as the FSG, both are using the same with same settings.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Hello Genevieve,

What I understood from your post is that you want not to be printed the Billing Doc no in the assignment field for the Company which is using transportation module.If this is the requirement then are you trying to maintain any document no in the assignment field apart from the billing no. Let me know that.

If the answer is YES, then you can go for the Billing User Exit "USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZC)" where you can put the logic based on the company code and fetch the desired document no instead of Billing doc. no.

Hope you got my point. Let me now if you face any issue on that.

Thanks,

Hi Suman

No we want the billing document number being copied in the assignment field of that billing document.

Thanks for your help,

Hello Genevieve,

After a prolonged discussion, it is not very clear to me what no or information you want in the Assignment field for both the Company. Can you clarify by saying that like below example;

1. For Company A = Assignment will be Billing Doc no

2. For Company B = Assignment will be Transportation doc no.

I hope I am clear to you.

Thanks,

Hi Suman

We have although we do have same config in both companies in VTFL as well as same doc types (SO, delivery, billing):

Company A : Assignment number = to billing doc

Company B: Assignment number = to transportation no

we want:

Company A&B : Assignment number = to billing doc

thanks,

Hi,

This is looking strange to me.Kindly take help of ABAPer and debug the invoice which is having assignment as shipment number and see from where that is coming.

Note:I think,there would be some abap work to get that shipment number in the field assignment based on company code level.

Hello Genevieve,

Thanks for the clarification, now it is very much clear what is the issue.

This is the one exactly I want to say. Please check the development what I just mentioned above.

There has to some code injected else you would not face this issue. Check the code under the "USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP".

Thanks,

Hi GV,

Check if any assignment value is populated in sales order for second scenario.

Hi Suman,

Many thanks you for your help , I have sent the request to our abap support team as they had verified  EXIT_SAPLV60B_001: Change of header data in structure ACCHD which could have also affected the assignment field behavior

will keep you posted

A big thank you to all for your help!!!

We finally found there was coding added for transportation (VBFA- Sub-type 8 instead of M) in UE: USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP
