Symptom

Error when creating External Billing Request in the Manage Billing Requests app via spreadsheet import.

  • "Can’t bill SD documents of type using billing type CIX1".
  • "Can’t bill SD documents of type using billing type BDR1".
  • "Can’t bill SD documents of type using billing type F2".

Changing the Billing Document Type (including CIX1, BDR1, F2) does not resolve the error.

Environment

  • Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • Billing Document Request

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Billing Requests app.
  2. Choose Create.
  3. Select Import file.
  4. Attach the spreadsheet template file.
  5. Choose Simulation or Create.
  6. Observe the error messages.

Cause

The spreadsheet field EXTBILLINGDOCREQUESTTYPE contained an invalid value (for example, F2, which is a billing document type) instead of an allowed external billing document request type (for example BDR1) .

Resolution

1. Open the spreadsheet template used for import.

2. Locate the field EXTBILLINGDOCREQUESTTYPE.

3. Enter one of the valid values only:

  • BDR1 (External standard billing document request)
  • BDRD (External debit BDR)
  • BDRC (External credit BDR)

4. Save the file.

5. In the Manage Billing Requests app, re-import the corrected file.

5. Run Simulation or Create and confirm that the External Billing Request is created successfully.
