• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_MEV023 - Billing type &1 is not allowed for period-end reset ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VF_MEV023: Billing type &1 is not allowed for period-end reset
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a period-end reset (usually during billing document processing or settlement) for a billing type that is not configured or allowed for period-end reset in the system.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), certain billing types are configured to allow period-end reset, which is a process to reset cumulative values at the end of a period (e.g., for statistical or settlement purposes). If the billing type you are using is not maintained for this functionality, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Period-end reset is typically used in scenarios like rebate agreements, statistical billing, or settlement processes where cumulative values are reset after a period.
  The billing type must be explicitly allowed for period-end reset in the customizing settings.
  If the billing type is not maintained in the relevant configuration, the system blocks the reset and issues this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the billing type configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Billing ? Billing Documents ? Maintain Billing Types.
  Select the billing type mentioned in the error message.
  Verify if the billing type is allowed for period-end reset.
  
  
  
  Maintain the billing type for period-end reset:
  
  In the billing type settings, look for the indicator or setting related to period-end reset or reset allowed.
  If the billing type should be allowed for period-end reset, activate or maintain the relevant flag.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  If the billing type should not be used for period-end reset:
  
  Use a different billing type that is configured for period-end reset.
  Or adjust your business process to avoid period-end reset for this billing type.
  
  
  
  Check related customizing for period-end reset:
  
  Sometimes, period-end reset is controlled via rebate agreements or settlement profiles.
  Verify the settings in Rebate Processing or Settlement Profiles if applicable.
