Same invoice number for two delivery documents

[Former Member]

Dear Folks,

We are having the following business flow:

Contract- S.O.- Del- PGI- PI- Excise Invoice- Commercial Invoice

Now The system is generating the same commercial invoice number for two delivery documents.

1.The two deliveries have 40 and 50 MT of materials respectively.

2. The proforma invoices are separate for both and have quantity 40 an 50 MT respectively. Excise Invoice is also diffrent and of right quantity for both of deliveries.

3. In one of the delivery (40 MT) it is showing aditionally "Confirmation of service" in document flow.

4. But while doing commercial invoice the system created a single invoice with quanitity 50 MT ONLY.

5. In the document flow of both deliveries it is showing the same invoice number.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raghu

In standard settings,system always tries to combine the deliveries into one invoice if they have same Payer, Billing data, Destination country,Payment Term and same Incoterm.

This is controlled by the routine "001" in the copy control table "Delivery to Billing" (t.code VTFL).

Possibly, in your case, the above criterias are same and routine is "001" in the copy control table.

If you want separate invoice for each delivery, then in the copy control table (t.code VTFL), go to item level and in the field VBRK/VBRP field put routine "003" and save it.

Now, system will create separate invoice for each delivery even if the above criterias are same.

Dear Pradyumna, G.Laksmipati

Thanks for the reply.

However while going through the system settings, I found that the system has copy control routine"0007".

Otherwise also, if it clubs both the deliveries, the invoice quantity should be = sum of del quantities.

But here it is not the case, system is billing only 50 MT and showing the same invoice for both of the deliveries.

Please suggest.

Dear Raghu

Just try once by using routine 001 and 003.

Please let me know , how it is behaving.

Dear Raghu

B4 trying to propose a solution, can you please confirm whether you are trying to do export scenario where both (proforma and commercial invoice) would be generated.

Meanwhile, for information, we can generate one billing document against multiple deliveries provided the following are same in the preceding documents.

- Payer

- Inco Terms

- Payment Terms

- Actual GI Date

- Exchange Rate (in case of exports)

thanks
