Hi,

Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the proof of delivery itself, you can also record the POD date, POD time, the actual quantity that arrived and the reason for possible differences in quantities. This is especially important for deliveries in which the delivery quantity varies because of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start.

You are now in a position to issue an accurate invoice based on the customer's confirmation of goods received. It is no longer necessary to create credit memos after the fact. The reasons for deviation that occur most often in "real world" scenarios such as stock shrinkage, theft, certain characteristics of goods (volatility, for example) and transportation damage are recorded and analyzed in the system. This analysis is especially valuable when you are negotiating with forwarding agents, vendors or customers, since all deviations can be reflected.

Prerequisites

You should make the following settings in the Implementation Guide under Logistics Execution --> Shipping --> Deliveries --> Proof of delivery:

Define for each delivery item category whether it is relevant for the POD process.

In this activity, you can set the proof of delivery (POD) relevance depending on the delivery item category.

We recommend that you flag all item categories that belong to a delivery type as POD-relevant. After setting the POD-relevant indicator in the customer master, you can activate the proof of delivery process.

When the system creates billing documents for the item categories that are marked as POD-relevant, it copies the verified quantity rather than the delivery quantity.

SAP recommends that you flag all item categories that belong to a delivery type as being POD relevant

Manually Confirming Proof of Delivery (POD)

1) Create delivery using VL10 or VL01N.

2) After performing picking and Packing activity save the delivery

3) Now execute VLPOD in order to execute the POD

For other Transaction Codes

Hi Ashu,

Please don't forget to mark the customer in sales view of customer master as relevant for POD - otherwise even if you customize everything it won't work.

Hi,

Proof of Delivery

In this activity, you can make the proof of delivery (POD) settings.

For each delivery item category, you can define whether it is relevant for the POD process. We recommend that all item categories that belong to a delivery type be indicated as relevant for POD.

You can also define the reasons for deviation in this activity.

Set the POD-relevant indicator in the Shipping view of the sales area data of the customer with whom you want to carry out the POD process.

You need to just activate the ' Relevant for POD' field in CMR Shipping Tab.
