Intercompany Billing (EDI) Automatic Posting to Vendor Account

This question has been Answered. Dear all, I've successfully configured an SD inter-company sales and billing process. I'm trying to configure an automated posting to selling/ordering company vendor account after the delivering company completes the inter-company billing transaction via VF04 "IV" billing type. I've configured settings under IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Intercompany Billing -> Automatic Posting To Vendor Account (SAP-EDI). I'm using the standard output type RD04. I've also read EDI- No communication data has been defined for transmission medium 6'. and I'm attempted to configure WE20 by following instructions given http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Inter -CompanyBillingAutomaticPostingToVendorAccount%28SAP-EDI%29. However, the EDI output is not triggered when the "IV" intercompany billing document is generated successfully. I get no IDoc result under tcode WE02 and the output RD04 is still pending when viewed under VF03 -> Header -> Output. I appreciate any advice and step-by-step instructions. Thanks.

Yes, I've followed note 31126 but without success. Do I need to configure OBCA, OBCB, OBCD and OBCE as suggested by http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Intercompanyresourcerelated+billing Thanks.

Steven khoo Feb 18, 2011 8:32 AM (in response to Joshua Albert) Re: Intercompany Billing (EDI) Automatic Posting to Vendor Account Hi Joshua Albert, I've already maintain the RD04 via VV31 and it's ok when I view under VF02 -> Header > Output as in still pending for release "Yellow" indicator. The only thing I'm unsuccessful is that this the output message is not being triggered when I save the billing document "IV". Thanks. Edited by: Steven Khoo on Feb 18, 2011 8:31 AM

Steven khoo Feb 18, 2011 11:40 AM (in response to Eduardo Hinojosa) Re: Intercompany Billing (EDI) Automatic Posting to Vendor Account Hi Joshua Albert and all, Ok I've manage to generate the IDOC but when view under WE02, I see the status of the Inbound IDOC "ISO unit of measure EA is not assigned: Item E1EDP01" I"m using "EA" and hence I check the ISO under CUNI -> Unit of Measurements -> EA. The settings on ALE/EDI section is "EA" for each. So, I assume the unit of measurement is maintain correctly. So, I'm now confused with the IDOC error message? Anywhere did I miss? Thanks.

See table EDILOGADR as note 31126 suggests. Regards, Eduardo

Steven khoo Feb 19, 2011 12:48 AM (in response to Eduardo Hinojosa) Re: Intercompany Billing (EDI) Automatic Posting to Vendor Account Hi E_Hinojos and all, I went to CUNI again and under ALE/EDI, the field was already populated with EA. The solution was that I just need to check the "Primary" box under that field and the error message went away. Now, I'm getting a new error message after simulating the IDOC again in WE19: IDoc number Direction Status 0000000000198023 Inbound Application document not posted

2 51

G/L account 191100 requires a valid tax code Message no. FS214 Diagnosis The master record of account 191100 requires you to enter a valid tax code in each item for this account in company code 0001. System Response Error message Procedure Enter a valid tax code. -

I've already maintain transaction OBCD with input tax codes but I'm not sure whether I did it correctly. I'd like to know how the system would know which tax code to take or choose from OBCD table? The GL 191100 under transaction FS00 allows input tax codes only. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks. Edited by: Steven Khoo on Feb 18, 2011 4:16 PM

Steven khoo Feb 19, 2011 1:30 AM (in response to Steven khoo) Re: Intercompany Billing (EDI) Automatic Posting to Vendor Account Ok, problem solved with the tax code. I forgotten to define the output tax (MWST) in my IV billing pricing procedure at the earlier step. Now, the MWST is in, the IDOC is able to pick-up the corresponding input tax code by matching against the output tax code defined in OBCD table.
