Reference document of xxx (order no) is not delivery document”. Message No: 8I681

Dear Sap Experts,

We have the following business scenario

1. Create Order type-ZED which has Order reason (xx Billing Block). The User removes the billing block
2. After step 1, Create Invoice- order related billing Per forma- F5
3. After step 2, Create excise invoice through J1IIN ( ref doc F5 billing document no)

The excise was getting generated in step 3 till 2012, But is not working since 2013...i.e When trying to create the excise invoice through J1IIN & inputting the billing document no, the system gives the error- “Reference document of xxx (order no) is not delivery document”. Message No: 8I681”

Also Following are the settings in SPRO:

1. For Order Type ZED: in VOV8: in shipping: The delivery type field is blank; in billing Tab:Order related billing type field is :L2: Debit Memo, delivery related billing type field is :L2: blank.

2. In copy control VTFA: ZED to F5 & item catg L2n ( this we got from previous successful order material), the billing qty is maintained A ( order qty less than invoice qty)

3.   Also I checked the path-Spro- logistics general-tax on goods movements-India-business trans- outgoing excise invoice: assign billing type to delivery type:

     here the setting is: Del type: Billing type

                                   blank     : F5

                                      LF     :F2

                                       LF     :JEX

4.     Excise TT of previous excise invoices is DLFC (goods removal through sales)

5. In message control field ( path-Spro- logistics general-tax on goods movements-India-business trans- outgoing excise invoice: assign billing type to delivery type:the message is missing 8I681.

6. Also note that in the document flow of earlier Excise invoices showed:

               Document:                                                  date

          stock transfer order

               ---delivery ( order no)/(item no)

                    ----billing document ( billing doc no)          (date of billing doc creation)

                         ---excise invoice no/item no                (date of excise doc creation)

Question1: please suggest why earlier i.e in 2012 the excise invoices were getting created successfully by following the above 3 steps but now since 2013 the excise invoice is not getting generated & the system is showing error-“Reference document of xxx (order no) is not delivery document”. Message No: 8I681”, when delivery is not configured for ZED order.

Question2: How the system is taking the delivery no (which is the order no) in document flow of earlier generated excise invoice

Thanks & regards,

Kaushal
