Invoice creation job SDBILLDL runs too long

[Former Member]

We are running tcode VF06 in the background to create invoices for deliveries and sales orders which then creates a child job for program SDBILLDL.  This child job takes a very long time and creates invoices with the following date as the creation date.  We need to have invoices created with the same date.  Otherwise, this causes us issues with our auditors because we have invoices with a creation date of a day later than the PGI date.  We have this job running 2X per day.  Once at 11am and again at 6pm.  The nightly job is what takes the longest.  It doesn't happen daily, the long run times happen about once per week and it doesn't happen on the same day so we can't see a pattern.

We have applied OSS notes# 1852385 & 1830353 hoping this would resolve the issue, but it has not.

We also are running Dassian's Govt Contract Solution DP0046.

Does anyone have this issue?  If so, what have you done to resolve this?

I also attached screen shots of our selection criteria for VF06 and the jobs showing the long run times.

Can you check OSS 1934946 - Performance Issue When Creating Billing Documents

and the steps given in it are of help to analyze your situation?

You can run the output processing as separate step or another job and try.

We've already looked at that OSS note and others.  We are even having conversations with SAP.  Just thought someone else was experiencing the same issue and would like to know the resolution they used.

Hi,

Please discuss the date issue with the BASIS team. It is possible that your system timezone and the company code time zone are different and because of that you are getting the invoices created in a different time zone which leads to one day future creation date for the night job.

If basis checks and confirms this, the same can be rectified also.

Hi Naveetha,

No that is not the issue.  The issue is the job starts for example on 03/27, but does not finish until 03/28 so some of the invoices have the creation date of 03/28 instead of all of them having the creation date of 03/27.  They all need to have the creation date of when the job started.
