3060941 - Error "Can't bill item category TAX in SD docs of type LF using billing type IV" - SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

  • During intercompany billing document creation the error message "Document xxxxxxxx, Item xx: Can’t bill item category TAX in SD docs of type LF using billing type IV.", error message number VF 003 is issued.
  • Intercompany billing document can not be created for a non-stock item.
  • Scope item 1MX is activated.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Sales and Distribution (SD)

Reproducing the Issue

  • Open the 'Create Billing Documents (VF01)' app
  • Enter the billing type 'IV'
  • Enter the delivery document number
  • Press 'Enter'
    -> Message "No billing documents were generated. Please see log." is issued.
  • Go to 'More' -> 'Edit' -> 'Log'
    -> Error message: "Can’t bill item category TAX in SD docs of type LF using billing type IV." is shown.

Cause

In the configuration step 'Define Copying Control for Delivery Document to Billing Document' (ID 102763), the copying control for delivery type LF and billing type IV does not contain the item category TAX.
Item category TAX is enhanced in the scope item 1WO and this scope item is not yet activated in your system.

Resolution

Activate the scope item 1WO to make the item category TAX available in the copying control and to be able to create the intercompany invoice (IV) for a delivery with delivery type LF and item category TAX. 

For new scope item activation refer to the following process documentation: Review and Request New Scope Activation for Manage Your Solution App and New Scope Activation via SAP Central Business Configuration
