Dear Shibaa

Yes you can generate commercial invoice but it is not recommended to have such a practice.

If you want, you can try with copy control In VTFL for the item category, against the field Copying requirements, maintain routine 11

Please test a scenario in development, check with FI people and get their concurrence b4 moving to production.

Alternatively, you can generate proformas against delivery where without doing PGI, you can generate proformas.

Hi,

Actually it is not advisable to create an invoice before PGI. Even if you want you can do it through copy controls.

Using VTFL transaction, Select your document types, then select your item category, in the copying requirements select 11 requirement and test it.

You can do Invoice without PGI.

Hi,

As per your query,

If you want pro forma invoice before PGI then it happen as per Standard SAP behaviour.

But want to create Commercial Invoice before PGI then Standard SAP doesnt support then in that case you need to develop a routine and attach in copy contril between delivery to billing.

But this is not best business practice, please tell me whats your actualy business requirement.

Hi shiba,

It is possible, SAP has provided us this facility, you can check in the system against the routine documentation in header level copying requirements.

Hi,

The reference for creating a billing document(VF01) could be a sales order, delivery, credit memo request, debit memo request. The reference could be another billing document also (as in case of Doc type S1 - Billing cancellation)

In Your case, Reference Sales Doc types for Billing gets maintained in copy Control (VTFL) settings.

There, you could find all types of Source Sales Doc. Types, as reference to Create a Billing Doc.

Source Doc. Types (OR - Standard Order) could be reference as source document for Bill Doc (F2 - Invoice).

Best Regards,

Amit.

Note:Generally, we use such settings where PGI is not reqd (in case of Service-related Orders).
