Symptom
When creating billing document the error message appears: "document is not relevant for billing" from Delivery.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a billing document referencing the outbound delivery.
- Observe the error message: "document is not relevant for billing".
Cause
The sales order has a status "In Process" and contains a billing plan. When milestone billing is used, the system relies on the billing plan in the sales order to control invoicing. As a result, outbound deliveries are intentionally not marked as billable, leading to the blank "Delivery Billing Status" and the error message when attempting to create a billing document from the delivery.
Resolution
- Set the sales order status to "Completed".
- Create the billing document by referencing the sales order.
- Ensure invoices are generated according to the milestone configuration without errors.
