Symptom
In advanced intercompany sales (5D2) scenario, the Post GI from SiT to Customer (GITC) is not created, yet it is allowed to create billing for the outbound delivery.
Environment
S/4 HANA Public Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the app Monitor Value Chains.
- Search for sales order ABC and open it.
- Navigate to the Process Flow tab and observe this is a 5D2 document flow, and Post GI from SiT to Customer (GITC) following outbound delivery XYZ is not created yet.
- Open the app Create Billing Documents.
- Maintain outbound delivery XYZ in the filter SD Document and click Go.
- Observe that outbound delivery XYZ is available for billing despite the missing GITC.
Cause
In the 5D2 scenario, once the post goods issue is performed for the outbound delivery (resulting in the creation of GIOD), the system allows the creation of customer invoices and intercompany customer invoices against this outbound delivery.
Resolution
This is system standard behavior and also a kind of business flexibility provided for end user.
