• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB119 - Billing document &1: No items found to be copied ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB119: Billing document &1: No items found to be copied
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs during the creation or copying of a billing document in SAP. It indicates that the system could not find any items in the source document (e.g., sales order, delivery, or preceding billing document) that are eligible or available to be copied into the new billing document.
  Common causes include:
  
  The source document (sales order, delivery, or preceding billing document) has no items or all items have already been billed.
  The items in the source document are not relevant for billing (e.g., text items, free-of-charge items, or items excluded from billing).
  The billing type or copy control settings do not allow copying of the items.
  The billing document is being created with reference to a document that has no billable items.
  The items have been fully billed in previous billing documents, so nothing remains to be billed.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During billing document creation (VF01, VF04, or VF05).
  When copying items from a preceding document (sales order, delivery, or previous billing document).
  When the system tries to find items to copy but finds none.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the source document:
  
  Verify that the source document (sales order, delivery, etc.) contains items that are billable.
  Check if the items have already been fully billed (check billing status in sales order or delivery).
  
  
  
  Check item relevance for billing:
  
  Ensure that the items are not marked as non-billable (e.g., item category, billing relevance).
  Check if the item category allows billing (e.g., item category should have billing relevance).
  
  
  
  Review copy control settings:
  
  Check the copy control configuration between the source document and billing document (transaction VTFL for delivery to billing, VTFA for sales order to billing).
  Ensure that the item categories are mapped correctly and that the copy control allows copying of items.
  
  
  
  Check billing type and billing document settings:
  
  Verify that the billing type used is appropriate for the source document and items.
  Check if any user-exits or enhancements are affecting item copying.
  
  
  
  Check for partial billing:
  
  If partial billing is used, verify if the remaining quantity to be billed is zero.
  
  
  
  Debug or check logs:
  
  If the above checks do not resolve the issue, debugging or checking application logs may help identify why items are not copied.
