Function documentationAnalysis of Incomplete Billing Due List Items

 

You can use this function to display billing due list items for which errors have occurred during processing. The following are examples of errors that can occur:

  • The billing item category or item category determination is not set up correctly in Customizing.

  • Errors occur in services (for example, determination of billing unit, partners, texts, or pricing).

  • A transaction item is modified while the corresponding billing due list item is blocked (for example, because the billing due list item is currently being billed).
