Symptom
Billing Split during Billing Document Creation and the Split Criteria is the Custom Field
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Start Create Billing Documents (VF01).
- Select a document with multiple items and each item has different custom field value.
- Continue to billing and open the split analysis.
- Observe that the split criteria is custom field.
Cause
A custom field used in sales and distribution was configured in the Custom Fields app, with Field Usage “Sales Document to Billing Document from Item to Header Level” set to Enabled, causing the item values to be carried to the billing header and creating differences that trigger a billing split.
Resolution
- Open the Custom Fields app and locate the custom field used in sales and distribution that appears in the split criteria.
- In Field Usage, adjust “Sales Document to Billing Document from Item to Header Level” from Enabled to Partially or disable the transfer to the billing header as appropriate for business requirement.
