    Error Message

    VN2059: No procedure has been assigned for billing category & on item level


    Cause

    This error occurs during the billing process in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) when the system tries to determine the pricing procedure for a billing document item but fails to find an assigned pricing procedure for the billing category of the item.

    • Billing category: This is a classification of billing document items (e.g., standard item, free of charge item, etc.).
    • The system uses the billing category to determine which pricing procedure to apply.
    • If no pricing procedure is assigned to the billing category in the customizing settings, the system cannot proceed with pricing determination, resulting in this error.

    Where does this happen?

    • During billing document creation (transaction VF01, VF04, etc.).
    • When the system tries to find the pricing procedure for the billing document item based on the billing category.

    Solution

    1. Assign Pricing Procedure to Billing Category

      You need to assign a pricing procedure to the billing category in the customizing settings.

      Path in SPRO:

      SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing Documents -> Pricing -> Define Pricing Procedure Determination for Billing Documents
      • Here, you maintain the assignment of billing category to pricing procedure.
      • Make sure that for the billing category of the item in question, a valid pricing procedure is assigned.
    2. Check Billing Category of the Item

      • Verify the billing category of the item in the sales document or billing document.
      • Billing category is determined by item category and other factors.
      • You can check the billing category in the sales order item or billing document item.
    3. Check Item Category and Billing Relevance

      • Sometimes, the item category might not be correctly maintained or might not be billing relevant.
      • Ensure the item category is correctly configured and linked to the billing category.
    4. Check Pricing Procedure Determination

      • Ensure that the pricing procedure determination for the sales document type and sales area is correctly maintained.
      • Although this error is about billing category, sometimes the root cause is missing or incorrect pricing procedure determination in sales document.

    Additional Information

    • Billing Category: It is a key that classifies billing document items. Examples include:

      • T (Standard item)
      • F (Free of charge item)
      • S (Subsequent credit memo item)
      • etc.
    • Pricing Procedure: Defines the sequence of condition types and calculation rules for pricing.

    • Common Scenario: If you have custom billing categories or special item categories, you must ensure that these are assigned to a pricing procedure.

    • Transaction Codes to Check:

      • V/08 - Define Billing Categories
      • V/06 - Assign Pricing Procedure to Billing Category
      • VOV8 - Define Item Categories
      • VF01 - Create Billing Document (where error occurs)

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Cause No pricing procedure assigned to the billing category of the billing document item.
    Solution Assign a valid pricing procedure to the billing category in SPRO under billing pricing.
    Where to Configure SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Billing ? Pricing ? Define Pricing Procedure Determination for Billing Documents
    Check Billing category of item, item category, pricing procedure assignment

    If you need, I can guide you step-by-step on how to assign the pricing procedure or check the billing category for your specific scenario.
