SAP ZSDOPEN_BILLREQ - Unprocessed Billing Requests for WBS


Use this procedure to review unprocessed billing requests for a WBS element, for example when ZPSR002C indicates there may a problem with unprocessed billing requests.

If the amount of the unprocessed billing requests matches the amount that ZPSR002C expects to be billed, you can "block" unprocessed billing requests by rejecting all line items for them (see step 4). If the amounts don't match, more research is necessary.
