will give some issues ....

Billing Document not released to accounting / Accounts
determination:
To resolve the error, you can analyze account determination
in the billing document. Process:
Goto T.Code: VF02 & Enter Invoice number
Next (On the top most strip) goto Environment
Next (Select Environment) go to Account determination
Next (In Account Determination) select Revenue Account
Determination (first option)

This will list all the condition types in the Billing
document & analyze each condition & check for which G/L
accounts is not determined.

Possible errors:
1. VKOA not maintained for required combination
Solution: Maintain the combination in VKOA.

2. Account Assignment of Customer / material not maintained
in Customer / Material Master (If maintained in combination
in VKOA).
Solution:
Option 1 (Standard solution):
step 1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> cancel
Delivery --> Cancel Sales Order
step 2: Maintain Customer master / Material Master
correctly.
step 3: Recreate sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI -->
Invoicing.
Option 2:
Force the Account Assignment Group of Customer / Material
through Debug in change mode of Billing document, which
will release Billing Document to Accounting.

3. Account Key not maintained in Pricing Procedure:
Impact: This may create accounting document, but if
condition type, which are to be posted to account, but do
not have account key maintained in pricing procedure, it
will not be post the relevant condition type to G/L account.

4. Billing Document not being released to accounting --
In Material Master, there is some link between Profit
Centre & MRP Type. If one of it is not maintained,
erratically few documents get stuck while releasing Billing
Document to accounting. Few of course get posted.
Solution1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI -->
Cancel Delivery --> Block the sales Order & Create new
sales Cycle all over again after rectifying Material master.
Solution 2: (Temporary Solution) In Debug mode in Billing,
force the Profit Center in Billing Document with the help
of Abaper. But ensure Material master is rectified.

From FI Side, you require to check that all the G/L account
has been maintained through T.Code: FS00. G/L account being
Master data has to be created in each client to upload
through LSMW / SCATT / BDC.

In Billing Document in change mode (in the first screen
where we enter Billing Document number), on the top most
left hand corner, take a dropdown on Billing Document &
select Release to accounting. Here you can get the under
mentioned possible message:
1. G/L account not found
2. Cost Element not maintained for G/L account.

In both the above cases, FI consultant requires to take
corrective action.



Pricing:
This is very specific & differs from client to client & may
also differ based on scenario.

Write-up on Pricing -
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area
(Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) +
Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure.
Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level.
Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer
Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales
Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the
pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are
fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the
price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is
missing, system will through an error message.

In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as
under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the
requirement, we need not create a new condition table.
Considering the requirement for new condition table, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -->
Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing
Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields
combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the
requirement, we need not create a new access sequence.
Considering the requirement for new sequence, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -->
Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing
Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of
Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to
be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access
sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the
requirement, we need not create a new condition type.
Considering the requirement for new condition type, the
configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -->
Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing
Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to
copy an existing similar condition type & make the
necessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to
Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar
pricing procedure & make the necessary changes in new
pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition
type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform
the calculation. Considering the requirement for new
Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro
as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic
Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure -->
Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing
procedure the next step will be determination of pricing
procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure
in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution -->
Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --
> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data,
which is required to be maintained by Core team / person
responsible from the client. During new implementation, the
condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT,
LSMW, etc.

It is assumed that document pricing procedure, customer
pricing procedure , ... are in place.

Sales Document not assigned to Sales Area:
SPRO --> Sales & Distribution --> Sales --> Sales
Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Assign Sales Area
To Sales Document Types --> Assign sales order types
permitted for sales areas (do ensure to maintain combined
Sales organization, combined Distribution channel &
combined division. for eg: Sales org 1000 & sales org 1000,
Sales org 2000 & sales org 2000, & so on ....
similarly for distribution channel & Division, so that the
Sales area combination is available for assignment to Sales
Document Type.)

Issues related to Customer Master data:
1. what is the impact of leaving customer pricing procedure
& customer statistic group blank in customer master -->
sales area data --> sales tab:
If Customer Pricing Procedure is left blank, Pricing will
not be determined.
If customer statistic group is left blank, then data will
not flow to standard reports.

2. Who maintains reconciliation account in customer master?
Ideally, reconciliation account is maintained by FI person,
but if SD person is authorized & has the knowledge of which
reconciliation account to be maintained, then even SD
person can maintain the same.

3. Terms of payment appear in Company Code Data & sales
Area Data. What is the impact of each? why is it not
populated automatically, once it is maintained at either
field?
Terms of payment from company code data is for reporting
purpose & it is from sales area data that it flows to sales
order.
It is a standard feature of SAP that it is not populated
automatically if maintained at either of the field, but it
is a must in sales area data & can be skipped in company
code data.

4. Unable to select Sales Area for Customer Master Creation?
Most Probably either sales area is not defined or
customization not done for common Sales Org & Common
Distribution Channel. To maintain this configuration: SPRO -
-> Sales & Distribution --> Master Data --> Define Common
Distribution Channels / Define Common Divisions

Other queries:
Where is the control for Automatic PGI?
For this you can set batch jobs. T-code SM36, 37 38 or you
can use the userexit CSO_P_DLVRT_GOODS_ISSUE_CREATE - auto
PGI

If u want more than this plse mail me my email
address...Wish u all the best..

What is an option by which we can run all the sessions in a batch simultaneously?
