IS-U Billing with zero amount line items

ivor_martin — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:20:12 GMT

Hello IS-U colleagues,

We're posting zero line items to some Sub-transactions from IS-U Billing.

The associated FI-CA document postings have 0.001 debt and 0.001 credit to the G/L Account configured for the consumption billing Sub-transaction.

The users do not want to see the 0.001 and 0.001- postings in the FI-CA invoice document.

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, do you have any suggestions on how to suppress this postings?

Thanks and regards,

Ivor Martin

Hello Ivor - may I ask what the business reason is for posting zero line items?

Instead maybe consider a statistical posting?

Hi Tammy,

There are actual charges for some billing sub-transactions, but under some conditions the values are zero. In these cases, the FICA document is posting 0.001 and 0.001- (credit) to the same G/L Account.

We can't use stat postings for actual billing line items.

Thanks and regards,

Ivor Martin

Check SAP enhancement EBIA0001. You could change the posting relevant flag for the $0 lines there.
