I recently ran into an issue when I attempted to configure packaging materials to come in a line item on the delivery (so it can be PGI’d). I haven’t spent a lot of time with packaging, so it is always a learning experience for me 🙂 My issue came in because I was getting error: VL 449, telling me Different billing type for intercompany billing. Well, this confused the hell out of me. Since when does the delivery line item have any billing configuration associated with it.
I made my rounds through configuration (delivery item categories, delivery header, copy control, material master). I finally found an old post that talked about this (thanks SAP Fans). It turns out, you get this error when you add a line item to a delivery that wasn’t on the sales order. If this happens, it looks at transaction OVLK, for a delivery you will see something like this:
Notice the default ord.ty field. This field only has an impact if you add items to a delivery that weren’t on the sales order. In that event, it looks at the sales order type listed here and checks the billing types assigned. Personally, I’ve never seen order type DL, but it is the out of the box default. As soon as I changed to my “default” order type, everything started working normally.
