Can I create subscription without replicate provider contract (57Z)?

[former_member442016]

Hi,

We have an scenarios as below steps :

1. Create Subscription in SAP Subscription Billing (deactivate replicate provider contract)

2. Transfer Billed from SAP Subscription Billing to S/4HANA Cloud.

3. Check S/4HANA Cloud and I can see the Subscription Billing Document Request

4. Create Billing (VF01) with the SBDR, but when I try to release to Finance and the system show me error message : the provider contract not exist.

My question is : replicate the provider contact to S/4HANA Cloud is required step? If yes why give me the option in the subscription profile? If it possible not to replicate provider contract to S/4HANA Cloud?

Thanks and Best Regards,

For integrations based on scope item 57Z in S/4HANA Cloud or S/4HANA onPremise/PCE 2021 FPS01 and above, the provider contract is mandatory to be replicated.

As SAP Subscription Billing is still open to be integrated to backends, that don't have the required functionality to receive the subscription data and create provider contracts accordingly, the setting is optional on Subscription Billing side and needs to be set according to your system landscape.

Thanks and best regards
