Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB120 - Copy group &1 assigned to the billing doc. contains no target billng type ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB120 Copy group &1 assigned to the billing doc. contains no target billing type
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs during the billing document creation process in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution). It indicates that the copy control group assigned to the billing document does not have a target billing type defined.
  
  Copy control in SAP SD controls how data is copied from one document to another (e.g., from delivery to billing document).
  Each copy control group must specify a target billing type to which the system copies the data.
  If the copy control group assigned to the billing document does not have a target billing type maintained, the system cannot determine what billing document type to create, hence the warning.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating a billing document (e.g., invoice, credit memo) from a preceding document (like a delivery or sales order).
  The system checks the copy control settings and finds that the copy group assigned to the billing document is incomplete or incorrectly configured.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the Copy Control Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction VTFL (Maintain Copy Control for Billing Documents).
  Enter the copy control group mentioned in the message (the &1 parameter).
  Verify if the target billing type is maintained for this copy control group.
  
  
  
  Maintain Target Billing Type:
  
  If the target billing type is missing, assign the appropriate billing document type (e.g., F2 for invoice, G2 for credit memo).
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check the Copy Control from Preceding Document to Billing Document:
  
  Use transaction VTFA (Copy Control: Sales Document to Billing Document) or VTFL (Delivery to Billing Document) depending on the process.
  Ensure that the copy control group is correctly assigned and complete.
  
  
  
  Check Billing Document Type Configuration:
  
  Sometimes, the billing document type itself may not be properly configured.
  Use transaction VOFA to check billing document types and their settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Billing Document Creation Again:
  
  After correcting the copy control settings, try to create the billing document again.
  The warning should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (W_...), so the system may still allow the billing document creation, but it indicates a potential issue that could cause incorrect billing document processing.
  Proper copy control configuration is essential for accurate data transfer and billing document generation.
  If you are unsure about which billing type to assign, consult your functional consultant or check your organization's billing document type strategy.
