How To Fix EB300 - Deregulation: SD document does not contain a valid contract reference

EB300 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EB - IS-U invoicing

• Message number: 300

• Message text: Deregulation: SD document does not contain a valid contract reference

What causes this issue?

In the deregulated scenario, SD documents must be uniquely allocated to
the contract in the invoicing unit in order to determine the correct
deregulation data. However, in document &V4& for SD billing document
&V1&, the reference to contract &V3& is missing or is not valid.

System Response

Invoicing of contract account &V2& was terminated.

How to fix this error?

The bill can be created under the following conditions:

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

1. In billing documents with deregulated contracts, the contract
reference in the SD document is entered or is identical with the
contract to be processed in the invoicing unit.
You can do this during order creation by making sure that a contract
account assignment is made when you select the contract account, or that
the contract account assignment is determined in event 4000.
2. The invoicing unit in the deregulated scenario is to be grouped in
such a way that SD documents are allocated to individual invoicing
units based on their contract references. You can use event R403 for
this purpose.

Procedure for System Administrators

Reverse SD billing document &V1&, make sure that the contract is entered
in the business partner item, and create the SD and IS-U billing
documents again.
