SAP Error Message: VF_MEV030 – Billing type for period-end posting requires a posting block
Cause: This error occurs during the billing document posting process, specifically in period-end closing activities. The billing type configured for period-end posting in your SAP system requires that the billing document be blocked for posting (i.e., a posting block must be set). If the billing type is set to require a posting block but the billing document does not have this block, the system raises this error. In other words, the billing type configuration in transaction VOFA or VOTXN (where billing types are maintained) has a setting that mandates a posting block for period-end postings, but the billing document being processed does not have the posting block flag set. Explanation: Billing Type: Defines the characteristics of billing documents (e.g., invoice, credit memo). Period-End Posting: Special postings done at the end of a period, often for accruals, adjustments, or statistical postings. Posting Block: A flag
