In this step, you define the possible locking reasons for billing.

Billing blocks can be set for:

  • Customers

    You can block a customer for billing.

    If you want to block a customer for billing, you must specify the blocking indicator with the blocking data in the customer master record. The indicator in the customer master record, and with it the billing block, apply to all or only to individual sales areas.

    The SAP system copies the blocking indicator from the customer master record into the sales document. You cannot record billing documents for the customer in the sales area in question that belong to the blocked billing type.

  • Sales documents

    You can block individual sales documents manually for billing.

    Sales documents can also be blocked for billing automatically by the SAP system. For example, credit and debit memo requests are automatically assigned a billing block in the standard system. To have the system set a billing block automatically when certain sales documents are created, you must define a billing block for that sales document type. To do this, you must specify the billing block for this sales document type (see the step Define and assign billing types).

    The indicator for the billing block is set with the business data in the order header. If a sales document is blocked for billing, you cannot create billing documents belonging to the billing type blocked. In order to create billing documents, you must remove the blocking indicator manually.

  • Document items

    You can block individual items in a sales document manually.

    The items can also be blocked automatically by the SAP System. To have the system block items manually, you must define a billing block for the item type in question, which is then set automatically when a sales document is created. You can specify the billing block for an item type in the step Assign item type to sales document type.

    The indicator only applies to the item and is not copied to the header of the sales document. It is recorded with the business data on an item. To release the item for billing, you must delete the block manually.

Activities

  1. Find out the reasons for blocking a customer, a sales order or an item for billing that apply in your company.
  2. Define the billing types for which a block is to be set.
  3. Decide which person subgroup sets the billing block and at what time, if the block is not to be set automatically by the SAP System.
  4. Specify an alphanumeric key of up to 2 characters and a text for the blocking reasons.
  5. Assign the billing types to the blocks.

Further notes

You can check the lock reasons defined for billing in the customizing project for billing (Media).
