• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FKKINV - Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

• Message number: 489

• Message text: Creation of zero invoicing document for contract acct &1 was suppressed

What causes this issue?

The system suppressed the creation of the invoicing document for
contract account &V1& for one of the following reasons:
There are no source documents to be invoiced for this contract account.
The invoicing document to be saved does not contain any document items.

System Response

The suppression of the creation of zero invoicing documents is supported
for <DS:DE.INVFUNC_INV_ADHOC_KK>ad hoc invoicing</>, and, depending on
your system configuration, for <DS:DE.INVFUNC_INV_CYCLE_KK>periodic
invoicing</>. The prerequisite for this is that no further invoicing
orders exist for the invoicing in addition to the ad hoc or periodic
invoicing order.
When the invoicing orders mentioned reach their <DS:DE.INVOICE_FIRST_KK>
earliest invoicing date</> (in relation to the system date), then the
system deletes them in update mode of invoicing without creating an
invoicing document.
