Create Billing tab is not found in /DBM/VSEARCH transaction

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have completed doing the PGI in New vehicle sales process. Later the step is Creating outgoing invoice for customer.

I didnt find any  button in /DBM/VSEARCH transaction, for doing billing. How can i do the billing for the vehicles which i sold to the customers.

I have maintained QOIV & QFOR in action controll determination.

PFB attachment for the Vehicle order document which completed the PGI.

Thanks,

Hi Nagaprasadreddy,

The outgoing invoice for customer will be created from DBM vehicle sales order.

You can bill the order in tc /DBM/ORDER02.

Or from /DMB/VSEARCH -> vehicle master you can jump to the sales order from tab orders and  bill the order.

There is no button in /DBM/VSEARCH to execute this action.

Technical background:

Action QOIV is internal action which is triggered from DBM order.

If invoice is created you can see in vehicle history new entry with QOIV and a link to billing document.

Hope this clarifies system behavior.

hello,

Like Joachim said, there is no create billing button in /DBM/VSEARCH

if you can't see create billing button on /DBM/ORDER02 then you need to check what STATUS you maintained for action create billing.

If status is maintained properly then check the order status

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply.

The status of the Order is,

The document flow of the order,

The order screen,

Now where should i click to do the invoice for the order.

Is there any thing else to do before doing the invoice.

Appreciate your support. Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagaprasadreddy,

There is an event BILLING_CREATE within DBM order engine which triggers invoice creating.

In standard DBM customizing setting billing can be created when goods movement is booked.

Order is automatically closed after billing.

Find details regarding DBM order engine in attachment of note 1105899 (Order event cookbook).

Cookbook is written based on DBM 600, but concept is the same in higher releases of DBM.

In your case order is already closed, billing seems not to be relevant for your order.

Otherwise a button "Billing Create" would be displayed in change mode in order.

Check your customizing settings in DBM: /DBM/SPRO -> Order -> Order Control

Hello

In addition to Joachine, you need to change setting for ORD_CLOSE, seems like as of now order is getting closed after goods movement.

Then maintain proper status for action BILLING_CREATE (when it should allow to create billing for order)

Also, please check setting for BILLING_CREATE event, what you maintained under Buttons

To Display button Screen - Dynamic Button on Screen

If you changed setting, then let us know f you seeing billing create button / event or not

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

As soon as the Goods receipt is done(QGIS action), QFOR is executing. Means the Order is closed.

I am not able to see the Billing button in the screen.

PFB the Order Event attributes for ORD_CLOSE

And the the action for BILLING_CRREATE is mentioned below.

PFB for the Even order control for Goods movement,

Please let me know, What is the problem, and what should i do to enable the billing buttun after PGI.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have got the Billing button in to the Vsearch transaction.

But, after clicking the Billing button, the confirmation was appearing like" Action Create billing was executed". But in the vehicle history i am not able to see any actions.

Let me know what should i do make the actions appear in Vehicle history.

I have executed this billing action after doing my PGI for new vehicle sales.

Thanks,

Nagaprasad.

Hi,

Due to DBM - VMS integration you should see in vehicle history action QOIV (Create customer billing document DBM) and QFOR (Complete vehicle order DBM).

Secondary status of vehicle master should be updated accordingly.

Check in DBM customizing if VMS actions are triggered from DBM actions:

/DBM/SPRO -> Order -> Order Control -> Order Control VMS extensions

Condition table: /DBM/OE_VMAC_VEP

Assign VMS action QOIV to DBM action BILLING_CREATE

(check and execute VMS action)

Don't set flag VMS action first

Condition table: /DBM/OE_VMAC_ENG

Assign VMS action QFOR to DBM action VS_ORD_CLOSE

(check and execute VMS action)

Don't set flag VMS action first

Check in your VMS action matrix if actions are allowed:

SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Vehicle management system (VMS) -> Control data

-> Define action controls and define action matrices

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for the inputs.

I have already maintained the entries. PFB for the reference screenshots

I did the PGI and the action is executed.

Now i am doing the Invoice,

I executed the action,

Now in Vehicel history i cant see any actions executed for billing.

Kindly let me know what could be the issue. Struggling from long time to resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Nagaprasad.
