  • What causes this issue?

    The billing type could not be determined for the specified transaction.
    Please check and correct the customizing entries:
    In the case of order-related billing, the billing type is determined
    from the order type.
    In the case of deliveries with reference to an order, the billing type
    is also determined from the order type.
    In the case of deliveries without reference to an order, the billing
    type is determined using the default order type of the delivery note
    type.
    In cases where billing is created using the general billing interface,
    the billing type is determined using the order type transferred in the
    interface, as long as it was not transferred directly in the interface.
