3422688 - Unable to select billing contract type when creating project billing item

Symptom

Contract types are not available in the dropdown list when creating billing item of the project.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
  • SAP Central Business Configuration.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Launch the app Plan Customer Projects and choose the Billing tab.
  2. Click the dropdown list of Contract Type, there is no value.

Cause

Materials P001, P002, P003 are not created.

Materials need to be created with certain numbers and parameters to run the end-to-end process for Professional Services Scenario (Customer Project Management – Project-Based Services). Materials P001, P002, and P003 are used when you create billing items with different types of billing contacts (Fixed Price, Time and Expense / Usage-based Item, and Periodic Services). 

Resolution

Create material master data with numbers P001, P002, and P003 for Basic View and Sales Views by using below given parameters before running end-to end process. You may use your own organizational data (Plant, Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division, Delivery Plant) or below demo organizational data if they are available in the system.

For more information on how to create material master data, refer to Create Product Master of Type "Services" (31X) master data script.

Please note in addition to required materials P001, P002, and P003, materials A001, A002, B001, B002 also need to be created as they are used for billing scenarios with payment on account and additional billing item(s) for details about how to create the materials, refer to KBA 3423955 - Create Material Master Data to run Professional Services Scenario
