Environment

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

Resolution

Required Material Master Data

Materials need to be created with below mentioned numbers to run the end-to-end process for Professional Services Scenario (Customer Project Management – Project-Based Services). Please create material master data with numbers A001, A002, B001, B002, P001, P002, and P003 for Basic View and Sales Views by using below given parameters before running process. Materials A001, A002, B001, B002 are used for billing scenarios with payment on account and additional billing item(s).

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

Business process would be blocked due to missing the material master data (KBA 3422688-Unable to select billing contract type when creating project billing item). Please make sure the materials have been created with numbers A001, A002, B001, B002, P001, P002, P003 and given parameters in productive systems before running the end-to-end process.
