Symptom
- Billing plan item is deleted in the Plan Customer Projects application.
- Billing Due Dates are no longer visible in the UI.
- No entries found in backend tables (FPLA, FPLT, VBKD).
- However, CDS view I_SlsOrderItemBillingPlanItem still returns billing plan item data.
- Customer expects the entry to be completely removed from CDS.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a Customer Project with a billing plan.
- Generate follow-up documents (e.g. billing/invoice).
- Delete the billing plan item in Plan Customer Projects.
- Verify that Billing Due Dates are no longer visible in the UI.
- Check CDS view I_SlsOrderItemBillingPlanItem.
- Observe that the billing plan item is still returned in the CDS view.
Cause
This is standard system behavior.
When a billing plan item has follow-up documents, the system does not physically delete the record.
Instead, the billing plan item is logically deleted and its status is set to Rejected.
The CDS view I_SlsOrderItemBillingPlanItem is designed to include such records, even after logical deletion, for consistency and reporting purposes.
Resolution
No action is required.
To verify the status, check the field:
BillingPlanRelatedBillgStatus
- Rejected → Billing plan item has follow-up documents and is logically deleted (expected behavior)
- If no follow-up documents exist → the billing plan item is physically deleted and will not appear in CDS
