• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB109 - Application object (class &1) provides no billing document number ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB109 – Application object (class &1) provides no billing document number
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This warning message occurs during billing document processing in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) when the system expects a billing document number to be returned by an application object (class) but does not receive one.
  
  The message indicates that the application object (class) responsible for creating or processing the billing document did not provide a billing document number.
  This usually happens in custom developments or enhancements where a custom class is used to create or manipulate billing documents.
  The system calls a method of the application object to get the billing document number, but the method returns an empty or initial value.
  It can also occur if the billing document creation failed silently or was not completed properly, but the process continued.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During billing document creation or update.
  When using user exits, BAdIs, or custom classes for billing document processing.
  When the system expects a billing document number to proceed but the custom logic does not supply it.
  
  
  Possible Causes
  
  Custom code issue: The custom class or method responsible for returning the billing document number is not implemented correctly or does not set the billing document number.
  Billing document creation failed: The billing document was not created successfully, so no number exists.
  Incorrect method call or missing return value: The method that should return the billing document number is not returning it properly.
  Configuration or master data issues: Rarely, missing or incorrect configuration can cause billing document creation to fail silently.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Check the custom class &1 (the class name is given in the message)  
  
  Review the implementation of the method that is supposed to return the billing document number.
  Ensure that the billing document number is correctly assigned and returned.
  Debug the code to verify that the billing document number is generated and passed back.
  
  
  
  Verify billing document creation  
  
  Check if the billing document was actually created in the system.
  Look for any errors or inconsistencies in the billing document creation process.
  
  
  
  Check enhancements or user exits  
  
  If you have implemented user exits (e.g., USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE) or BAdIs related to billing, verify that they do not interfere with the billing document number assignment.
  
  
  
  Review configuration  
  
  Ensure that the billing type and related settings are correct.
  Check if the billing document number range is properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Test standard scenario  
  
  Try to create a billing document without custom code to confirm if the issue is with custom development or standard SAP.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support
