Cancell a Billing Document Has No Accounting Document

[Former Member]

Hi Expert

wanted a help in know how can i cancel a billing document which is generated but without any accounting document. will brief you on the senario. user generated the bliing document through VF01 without checking the data is properly entered in the sales order. now one line item has a date of service rendered as 31.01.0001 which is incorrect hence due to which the accounting document was not created. now while going for reversing of the billing document in VF11 system doesn't allow to cancel as the accounting doc s yet not created.

wanted to know how i can cancell this billing doc which is having no accounting document. please help.

Hi

Billing cancellation is only possible if accounting document has been posted, if not it will not allow you to cancel

Check the reason why the billing document has not release to accounting, try to release it and solve if you have any accounting errors

revert with your findings on releasing the Billing document to accounting

hi santosh

thnkz for the reply.for the accounting document to be posted there should be an accounting document to be generated, in my case there is no accounting document generated only billing document is generated.

after analysied found out that our pricing records is using end date to determine the taxes and there is no record maintained for the particular date(31.01.0001).

now have maintained and redetermined the taxes, accounting document is now generated.

hope now the cancellation of billing document happens, as we wish to change this incorrect date.

Your statement is incorrect.  Even if no accounting document is generated, system would allow you to cancel a billing document.

If the billing document has been created by an external interface and you were trying to cancel it, then you need to have a look at the following OSS note:-

• Note 489676 - External billing documents cannot be cancelled due to VF 188
