Inconsistency in item numbering when creating a delivery based invoice

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am facing a problem deriving from the following case:

- Items from different sales orders (A, B, C) are grouped in a single delivery (sub-items for lots are generated automatically as well). The delivery is posted. An invoice is created for this delivery. In the copy control is stated that item numbers are copied from the previous document.

However the following numbering results in the invoice:

- item number 10 for the first main item from the delivery (sales order A);

- item number 11 for the respective lot sub-item from the delivery;

- item number 20 for the second main item from the delivery (sales order A);

- item number 21 for the respective lot sub-item from the delivery;

But: - item number 32 (not 30 as expected) for the third main item from the delivery, because it is from sales order B;

- item number 33 (not 31 as expected) for the respective lot sub-item from the delivery;

- item number 34 (not 40 as expected) for the fourth main item from the delivery (sales order C)....... and so on.

My question is - Why the numbering changes? All these items are from one delivery and the system should copy their numbers into the invoice, following the copy control set up?

Can you please help me with this issue?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Rumi

Hello,

the item number is copied from sales order, and not from delivery, even if flag is set in VTFL.

Hi Rumiana,

Are you sure the LF->F2 copying control is not modified? Check if the 'Copy item number' falg is marked on the header level of copying control LF->F2 in VTFL.

Hi, Marcin,

The 'Copy item number' falg is marked on the header level of copying control LF->F2 in VTFL.

Check the field item no increment for the billing document type in T.code VOFA. Just make it blank and test by creating new billing document.

Hi,

the field item number increment in the billing type (F2) is blank.

The other settings in the copy control are also standard - LF to F2 for item category TAN (the lot sub-item category has the same settings as TAN).

Best regards,
