Symptom
- The “Schedule Billing Creation for Preliminary Billing Docs” background job intermittently fails to create invoices from preliminary billing documents.
- The app shows the error message: “Internal Server Error.”
- The background job log shows: “Business Place is not determined” (Message class J_1IG_MSGS, number 051).
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the “Schedule Billing Creation for Preliminary Billing Docs” app.
- Locate a run with Status = Failed in the desired date range.
- Open the failed run and select the job with Status = Error.
- Observe the error “Internal Server Error.” In the background job log, check that the message “Business Place is not determined” (J_1IG_MSGS 051) is present.
Cause
For India localization, the business place was not determined during background processing. The business place was missing or not correctly propagated from the billing request/preliminary billing document, leading to message J_1IG_MSGS 051 in the job log.
Resolution
- Maintain the correct business place on the billing request and on the preliminary billing document so it can propagate to the billing document in background processing.
- In India GST configuration, define the required business places with valid tax registration details.
- Assign the correct business place to the relevant plants/company codes used by the preliminary billing documents.
- Activate the business place for all applicable scenarios in the India localization settings.
- Verify that business place determination occurs for the involved documents and that the determined business place is visible on the preliminary billing document header.
- Re-run the “Schedule Billing Creation for Preliminary Billing Docs” job.
