• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ_I139 - More than one billing doc. type exists for invoicing meth - BADI canceled ?

  The SAP error message OQ_I139 indicates that there is an issue with the billing document type configuration in the system. Specifically, it suggests that there are multiple billing document types defined for the same invoicing method, which is causing a conflict. This situation typically arises when the system is trying to determine which billing document type to use for a particular transaction, but it finds more than one option available.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Billing Document Types: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple billing document types configured for the same invoicing method in the system. This can happen due to incorrect configuration or changes made to the billing document types without proper adjustments to the invoicing methods.
  
  
  BADI Implementation: The error message also mentions that a BADI (Business Add-In) has been canceled. This could mean that a custom implementation that was supposed to handle the selection of the billing document type is no longer active or has been deactivated.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Billing Document Types:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Billing > Billing Document > Define Billing Document Types.
  Review the billing document types that are assigned to the invoicing method in question. Ensure that only one billing document type is assigned to each invoicing method.
  
  
  
  Adjust Invoicing Method:
  
  If multiple billing document types are necessary for your business process, consider creating a new invoicing method that can be uniquely associated with each billing document type.
  
  
  
  Review BADI Implementation:
  
  Check the status of the BADI implementation related to billing document type determination. You can do this by going to the BADI implementation transaction (Transaction code SE19).
  If the BADI has been canceled, you may need to reactivate it or create a new implementation that correctly handles the logic for selecting the appropriate billing document type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the correct billing document type is being used for invoicing.
