Question

Options

• AYou need a sales document type that is configured to be billing relevant.
• BYou need a billing type that is configured to be billing relevant.
• CYou need an order item category that is configured to be billing relevant.
• DYou need an billing item category that is configured to be billing relevant.

• A
  8% (4)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  76% (37)
• D
  14% (7)

Explanation

Option C is correct because in SAP SD, the order item category (e.g., TAN for standard items) carries a "Billing Relevance" indicator that acts as the gatekeeper - without it being set, the line item simply won't be transferred to a billing document, regardless of anything else configured in the system.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Sales document types control overall document behavior (e.g., order type OR), but billing relevance is not a flag set on them; it lives at the item level.
• B - Billing types (e.g., F2, F5) are billing documents; they don't need to be "configured as billing relevant" - that concept doesn't apply to them.
• D - "Billing item category" is not a real SAP term. The correct terminology is order item category (or simply item category), making D a plausible-sounding distractor designed to trip you up.

Memory tip: Think "Items get invoiced, not orders" - billing relevance is always controlled at the item category level because individual line items can have different billing rules (e.g., one item free of charge, another billable) within the same order.
