The Document Is Not Relevant For Invoice Lists

When creating invoice list (T.Code:VF21), I got the error that "the document is not relevant for invoice lists".

Introduction

Generally invoice lists are created when you assign invoice list dates in Customer master record -> Sales data -> Billing tab -> Invoice list dates,

Check whether you have assigned the same billing calendar to that Customer Master Record.  If you have not assigned, then you will get that warning message at the time of creation of sales order.

Another important thing is even if you have assigned, the payer should be same for both the sold to party's, else you still get the warning message at the time of creation of sales order.

Steps to Check 1:

  • Check in Customer Master Record (XD02) in billing tab the invoicing list Dates and Invoicing dates fields
    • Go to T.Code OVT0 and check these fields are included in your account group
      • Maintain the Copy controls for Proforma Invoice (F8) to Invoice list(LR) in VTFF
        • In header Copying Req 016
          • check mark on copy item numbers
            • Pos/neg qty is +

            •  
              • Go to VF21 and enter the billing document No and Billing Type as LR & Execute
Steps to Check 2:
  • Check the configuration settings if you are using different Invoice documents in two sales areas.
    • IMG Path is SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Invoice lists.
  • Check the data in the customer master in the transaction VD02.
    • Go to Sales area data tab -> Billing document here you check whether you are maintaining the Invoice list dates or not.

    •  
  • Check the Partner determination procedure assignment to the Invoice List type at Header level and item level.
    • If partner determination is somehow different.
Header assignment path.

IMG -> SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic functions -> Partner determination -> set up partner determination -> Set up partner determination for billing header -> Printer determination procedure assignment.

Item assignment path.

IMG -> SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic functions -> Partner determination -> set up partner determination -> Set up partner determination for billing item -> Partner determination procedure assignment.
 

SAP Notes

Billing document and invoice list status

A billing document is relevant for an invoice list when both the field "Invoice List Date" (VBRK-FKDAT_RL) and the field "Invoice List Type" (VBRK-FKART_RL) are filled, so the invoice list status (field VBUK-RELIK) can be set.

These fields cannot be changed online, as they are only processes during the document creation.

They are filled when an invoice list calendar (in the standard '01') is saved for the payer (in the master data) and an invoice list type (in the standard 'LR' or 'LG') is saved for the relevant billing document type (in Customizing).
 

Solution

Implement the attached correction report ZZCORBIL_IL_REL into your system and execute it for the relevant billing documents.

You can select according to the document number, the billing document type, the entry date and the payer.
 

Note:

If both parameters are set for the invoice list relevancy, existing billing documents that are not relevant for the invoice list can, with this report, subsequently become relevant for the invoice list.

Also, billing documents that are relevant for the invoice list can lose their invoice list relevancy with this report if you reset one parameter.

Exceptions are cancellation documents, cancelled documents and billing documents that are already contained in an invoice list.
