The standard CDS View I_BILLINGDOCUMENT is the data source for the billing document default email template. This CDS view is limited to retrieving billing documents from the database that are assigned to SDDOCUMENTCATEGORY = 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'S', 'U', '5' and '6'. Preliminary Billing Documents are assigned to the SDDOCUMENTCATEGORY = PBD. Therefore, the CDS View I_BILLINGDOCUMENT cannot be used to retrieve data for preliminary billing documents. As a result, the error “No data supplied to render email template "&1" is raised when attempting to retrieve data for the billing document default email template SD_BD_DEFAULT_EMAIL_TEMPLATE for preliminary billing documents.

For preliminary billing documents, use the preliminary billing document default email template SD_PBD_DEFAULT_EMAIL_TEMPLATE.
