Symptom

You cannot delete the partner function in the billing document.
You cannot change the address of the partner in the billing document.

Other Terms

Partner, address, billing document, invoice

Reason and Prerequisites

This is the system response of the standard system.

At the time of billing, the partner functions can no longer be changed. They are
copied from the sales order or delivery. The partner functions must be known at
this time. Also in future releases we do not plan to open the partners in the
billing document for manual processing. This would be an error source in
particular with respect to the statistics update and the transfer to the results
analysis.

Solution

These functions are not provided.

According to the SAP concept, the change options in the billing document should
be reduced to the minimum (for example, tax classification -> account
determination) and the required changes should be made in the sales order or
delivery document the billing document is based on.
