3743413 - Billing Plan Item Still Visible in CDS View I_SlsOrderItemBillingPlanItem After Deletion in Plan Customer Projects

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

  1. Create a Customer Project with a billing plan.
  2. Generate follow-up documents (e.g. billing/invoice).
  3. Delete the billing plan item in Plan Customer Projects.
  4. Verify that Billing Due Dates are no longer visible in the UI.
  5. Check CDS view I_SlsOrderItemBillingPlanItem.
  6. 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
