3645446 - BAdI for validation of billing date during creation of preliminary billing document - S/4HANA Public Cloud

Validation of the billing date is required during the creation of a preliminary billing document.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition

In S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition there isn't a dedicated BAdI exposed to validate the Billing Date at the moment of creating a Preliminary Billing Document. SAP's extensibility points for Billing focus on things like data transfer, numbering, output, and approval, not on hard stop validations during PBD creation.

As a workaround, you can follow one of the two options below: 

1. Use the preliminary billing settings toggle "Set billing date and enter before creating Preliminary Billing Document" so users can't by past the field (This enforces entry, not a custom rule).
2. Configure Manage Preliminary Billing Document Workflows and add conditions on the billing date (for example, "if Billing Date is in the past/too far in future > send for approval or reject").
