Symptom
Releasing a project billing through 'Manage Project Billing' results in error message:
- In activity & the plant for material & is missing.
OR
- Creation of the billing document request failed.
BDR with preceding document has not been created due to item errors.
Environment
- Sales and Distribution (SD)
- Professional Services (PS)
- SAP S/4HANA Cloud All versions
Cause
The error is raised because the sales order service (SO01) has been created without a plant at line item level.
Resolution
- The Delivery Plant needs to be maintained in Manage Product Master Data for the Billing Item Product(s) so that it will be automatically determined during sales order processing.
- For the existing sales order item, the item needs to be rejected using app 'F0804' Manage Sales Order Services and a new billing item should be created with the Plant data filled.
- To keep the old work package - Create a dummy work package and assign it to the existing billing item - now the WP that you want to keep is unassigned. Reject the sales order item as mentioned previously - Create a new billing item and assign the old work package to it - now you have a new billing item with the old work package.
Note. As of CE2402; when a customer project with sales order is created, if the plant determination does not find any relevant plant (due to missing master data / config), the user encounters an error message and needs to correct the master data accordingly before proceeding.
