This SAP note describes an issue where VPRS cost is not set for batch items when billed before goods issue. The standard behavior is that the product batch is not defined at billing time, so no VPRS is determined. The note provides a workaround involving setting the billing relevancy and creating a separate item category for the batch split item to allow VPRS to be determined and set during delivery-related billing before goods issue. The solution outlined is a non-standard workaround and inquiries on this topic require chargeable remote consulting.
