3751777 - Manage Project Billing: Journal entries with G/L account with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenues) or 12 (Sales Deduction) are excluded from Project Billing

Symptom

  • In the Manage Project Billing application, project-related costs originating from journal entries posted to G/L account with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenues) or 12 (Sales Deduction) are not selected for billing.
  • As of release 2602.3, when the customer-controlled feature toggle PROJ_BILLG_ACCOUNT_TYPE_CHECK (Project Billing Account Type Check) is activated, journal entries that have G/L account with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenues) and 12 (Sales Deduction) are excluded from billing.
  • As part of the introduction approach for this functionality, in release 2608 a customer-controlled feature toggle is provided. This feature toggle is delivered in an enabled (ON) state by default. If you are not yet able to adapt your processes, you have the option to temporarily switch OFF the feature toggle during this release. This is intended to minimize disruptions and provide flexibility during the transition phase. The feature toggle remains available only for one release cycle. 
  • From release 2702 onwards, the feature will be fully enforced. You will no longer be able to switch OFF the feature toggle, and the system will mandatorily exclude journal entries that have G/L accounts with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenues) or 12 (Sales Deduction) from project billing.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

G/L account types 11 and 12 are not designed for cost postings relevant for project billing, so a system correction has been implemented to enforce the intended and documented design of project billing integration.

Resolution

  • If you are using G/L accounts with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenue) or 12 (Sales Deduction) for project-related postings, you must ensure that these accounts are not used for billing-relevant postings.
  • To ensure correct billing relevance, such accounts must not be used in the YBPS_BILL Cost Element Group or for project-related postings intended for billing.
  • Depending on your setup, this can be achieved by changing the Cost Element Category, removing the account from billing-relevant usage, or replacing it with an appropriate account.

Important: If no adjustment is made, affected cost postings will no longer be billed after the 2608 release. This may result in missing or incomplete billing documents, delayed or lost revenue, and inconsistencies between project costs and billed amounts.
