How To Fix CRM_ORDER_CUST099 - Only item categories with order-related billing are possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_ORDER_CUST - Customizing Order (General)

• Message number: 099

• Message text: Only item categories with order-related billing are possible

What causes this issue?

For third-party items (item category usage RBA Item: TPOP), you can only
assign item categories that are set up (according to order or delivery
quantity) for order-related billing. Delivery-related billing is not
possible for third-party items.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If you want to use delivery related billing, you must activate the
business function Sales and Service (CRM_SLS_SRV_1). In addition to that
you must also activate the SAP ERP business function Service Parts
Management: Innovations in ERP (SPE_CI_1), available as of SAP
enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0.
