Hi,

We are facing an issue related to SD billing for taking various charges from BP while new service connection. After creating BP (mkk) & CA, we r creating Sales quotation, order & billing doc. After releasing the billing doc its charges should be posted to BP account but in our case acounting doc is generated with "not cleared " status. We had checked all required config. in SD & FICA & it is OK. Can anybody help us on this?

Thanks,

Harshal

Hi Harshal,

Are you using EHP 4.0 or EHP 5.0. if yes then I belief that your process in correct. Since EHP 4.0 release the accounting document will be available in the document flow but is not posted in FICA as you cannot see the details in FPL9. As in earlier releases on raising SD billing request, table DFKKMOP (items in contract account document) is updated. Once the ISU invoicing is executed (not both the contract account available in sales order/SD billing request and in ISU billing document should be same) the details from the SD billing request appears as a line item in the ISU invoice document. This SD charge is then posted in FICA.

kindly revert back if you need info...

Regards,

Harshal:

Maybe I do not understand your problem - Status 'Not cleared' is the normal status for an accounting document generated due to an SD billing document into FICA.  It will only be changed when the FICA open item is paid/cleared.  This is shown in the attached screenshot.

bill.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply & providing valuable information, but I can't see the entry as open item in FPL9 screen as it is not posting to the BP account. Until it get posted to BP account I can't receive the payment against it through FPCJ or can't clear it. Is there any EVENT responsible for posting of SD billing doc to BP account?

Thanks,

Harshal

Harshal:

Posting areas 1200 and 1210 are necessary.  Use FQEVENTS http://scn.sap.com/thread/1295462 to find all of the events which are valid for the 'SD Interface to FI-CA'. 

regards,

bill.

Hi Harshal,

Perhaps you have configured the integration which necessitates an FI-CA Invoicing step.

Check entries in table DFKKINV_TRIG for Source VBRK. These would be Invoicing Orders that would have to be processed via FI-CA Invoicing.

The following link will shed some light on this topic:

I hope this helps,

Hi Ivor,

NO entries found in table DFKKINV_TRIG for Source VBRK. Please see the attached screen shot which is showing document flow.

Hi Pranav,

Yes, it is ok. SD billing request is generated but it is not posting to BP account. It is posting if I do invoicing of SD billing doc with automatic billing doc. It should be posted individually to BP (or CA) account.

Hi Rahul,

We are using EHP 5.0, the process which you have explained exactly happening in our system but I want to post the SD bill individually before MOVE IN process to contract account & not with ISU Invoice. Kindly suggest if there is any solution on this.

Thanks,

Harshal

Hi Harshal,

It is possible to post the SD charges in FICA without having ISU invoicing. In this case we need to have a not an SD billing request but a normal SD billing. i.e. we need a different SD document type (Billing category = " ")

For the sales order to derive this new SD billing document we need to have a separate item category that will determine this  document through copy control.

you can design your sales order process as your requirements but to post charges without ISU invoicing we need to have a separate SD billing document.

Hope this fulfills your requirement. Also revert back if you need more info..
