Output Parameter Determination - EDI configuration for billing document F2 when posting status = "C"

[Jorge_Cards]

Hi Experts,

We are trying to configure an EDI output for billing type = "F2" and posting status = "C".

We want the EDI to be generated only when the journal entry is created in the system.

Our customer generates the billing document first, and then posted it in a second step (two step procedure):

We have already configured the output type:

...the receiver:

...the channel:

...and add the customer in the communication system:

However, when we post the billing document no EDI is created.

Do yo have information regarding this configuration? 

Maybe we are missing some configuration step...

If we try to force the EDI creation manually in VF02, the EDI is being formed:

Thank you very much in advance for your comments,

Best regards,

Jorge.

HI Jorge_Cardós, Need your guidance, Have tried to do a EDI setup for billing , getting a error saying that  No active outbound service for appl. obj. $000000001, outp. type BILLING_DOCUMENT, BuPa 0017100008. Can you share any links or documents if you have it

Firstly please check if the output item with channel EDI is created for the billing document. You can go to app "Display billing document" to check. If not, the settings in app "Output Parameter Determination" needs to be checked, especially the first 3 determination steps.

Secondly if the output item is generated, you need to check the status of the output. If it's in status Error, check the error log. If it's in status "In preparation", try to resend it.

Hi nancy.guo !

Thanks for the info.

The output item with channel EDI is not created for the billing document.

If I create the output item manually and then send it, everything works fine.

The problem is that we need to send the output automatically when the billing document is post to accounting (posting status of the billing documento = C).

I will have a look at the first 3 determination steps.

maybe you can try to remove the posting status in determination step "Channel" and see if the EDI output is created. Usually the posting status is used in the last step "Output relevance".

Hi again nancy.guo ,

I have tried the following configuration and now is working OK.

Output Type:

1

=C (Journal entry has been created)

BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

1(Immediately)

2

BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

1 (Immediately)

Receiver:

1

=BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

RE

- (false)

Channel:

1

=BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

=F2 (Invoice)

EDI (EDI)

- (false)

2

=BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

=S2 (Credit Memo Cancellation)

EDI (EDI)

- (false)

3

=BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

=G2 (Credit Memo)

EDI (EDI)

- (false)

4

=BILLING_DOCUMENT (Billing Document)

=S1 (Invoice Cancellation)

EDI (EDI)

- (false)

The output item with channel EDI is set to completed only when the jounral entry is created (posting status = C).

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Jorge.
