Common Payer for 2 open Deliveries..

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

While doing Collective billing for 2 open deliveries which have a common Billing Date and common Payer with same Incoterms and Terms of Payment , i get 2 invoices generates against these 2 open deliveries..

Its unlikely for the system to generate 2 Invoices for these 2 deliveries as its a common PAYER therefore only one invoice should have been generated.

Could you please expalin why did this happen as an early response will be appreciated...

I have to take the end user through the steps for Collective Billing and i am unable to set the selection criterion ..Should it be Payer Billing DateSold to Party?

Thanks .

Hi Suman

If the header data like,

Payer, Billing date, Payment term,Destination country and Incoterm are different then those deliveries can not be combined into one Billing document.

If they are same then system will combine them into one Billing document.

But for that, you go to Copy control "Delivery to Billing" (VTFL), GO TO ITEM LEVEL and in the VBRK/VBRP field put the routine "001".

I hope your problem will be over.

Hi Pradyumna,

All of the parameters have been checked .I have maintained the Copy Control as well as 001 in VBRK/VBRP however i still am unable to understand the reason why are the two open Delivery Documents not combining into one INvoice..

I still get 2 different invoice numbers generated although all of the parameters required to be maintained in the preceeding documents are as u mentioned.

Could you advice further?

Thanks a lot,

The problem is due to copy controls. In VTFL transaction, for your delivery type to billing type copy controls give assignment number as E and leave the reference number field blank. This will solve your problem.

Hi GSL,

In Copy controls of Delivery to Billing /VTFL i have maintained the assignment as E and Reference Number field as blank.

This did not resolve my problem .

The system still generates 2 invoices for the 2 delivery documents despite me cheking all of the parameters viz: Payment terms ,Payer,GI date ,export data being blank here ....

Please advice.

Please check the followings. as the invoice get split based on followings

1) Payer

2) Inco term

3) Payment term

4) Actual GI Date from Delivery

5) Shipping Condition

6) Account Assignment Group

7) Exchange rate (in case of export sale order)

Hi Irfan,

I have checked all of the parameters however Invoices are still splitting withthe Reason that the Reference doc nos for the OPEN BILLING Docs are different .. Meaning that both Delivery Docs in VF04 list are referring to different orders...

Has the Order got to be same for system to generate 1 Invoice against these 2 open Deliveries.

Awaiting a solution towards this...

Thanks n Regards,

Hi Simith,

When i do the Simulation i.e in VF04 i execute by specifying the selection Criterion as Billing Date and Billing Type and Execute ...

I select 2 of the open Billing docs and Click on Simulation then select both of the Line items and click on SPLIT ANALYSIS.

Split analysis tells me that "Split dur to Different HEader Data"

namely

1. Customer Purchase Order No

2. Reference Doc Number --Sales order nos

Can i ignore these?

Thanks n Regards,
