Which of the following cases suppress the creation of billable items in SAP Convergent Invoicing?

Question

Options

• AThe rating raised an error.
• BThe amount is negative.
• CThe quantity is zero.
• DThe billable item is marked with flag "not posting" relevant.

• A
  70% (19)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  19% (5)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

In SAP Convergent Invoicing, a rating error (option A) prevents the billable item from being created at all - the system cannot produce a valid billable item when the upstream rating process fails, since the rated data is the foundation for the item's creation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (negative amount): Negative billable items are valid and intentional - they represent credits or reversals, which are legitimate billing scenarios.
• C (zero quantity): A zero-quantity item can still be created and posted; SAP CI does not suppress creation solely based on a zero quantity.
• D ("not posting relevant" flag): This flag suppresses posting (the accounting/FI integration step), not the creation of the billable item - the item still exists in the system, it just won't generate a financial posting.

Memory tip: Think in pipeline stages - "rating → creation → posting." A rating error kills the item before it enters the pipeline (no creation). The "not posting relevant" flag only blocks the last stage. Negative and zero values are data characteristics that CI handles without suppression.
