3654923 - Unable to create billing document due to error "document is not relevant for billing" in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

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

  1. Create a billing document referencing the outbound delivery.
  2. 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

  1. Set the sales order status to "Completed".
  2. Create the billing document by referencing the sales order.
  3. Ensure invoices are generated according to the milestone configuration without errors.
