How To Fix EPS081 - No PS adjustment: No billing document exists for contract account &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EPS - Payment Scheme

• Message number: 081

• Message text: No PS adjustment: No billing document exists for contract account &1

What causes this issue?

You are carrying out invoicing for contract account &V1&, for which
budget billing procedure <NP>4 </>(Payment Scheme) is specified.
However, no billing document is involved in the invoicing. This means
that a payment scheme adjustment cannot take place.

System Response

The payment scheme is not adjusted.

How to fix this error?

This can be a contract account, for which no payment scheme is allowed
(such as a collective bill account). In this case, you must change the
budget billing procedure in the contract account to <NP><LB>0</></>.
It may also be a contract account with a payment scheme, but an
invoicing unit that only involves SD documents. In this case, the pa
yment scheme is adjusted by the next planned invoicing with a billing
document (and payment scheme adjustment).
