Dear Friend,

In your Customer master - Sales Area Data - Shipping Tab, mark the Relevant for POD Indicator.

Also maintain your Item Category as Relevant for POD - IMG - Logistics Execution - Shipping - Deliveries - Proof of Delivery - Set POD-Relevance Depending on Delivery Item Category

Now after you do your PGI & you get the intimation from the Customer about receipt of Goods, use T-Code - VLPOD for confirm the Delivery quantities for particualr Delivery number. Subsequently you can create Invoice for the said Delivery.

Now in Customer Master, under Relevant for POD indicator, you have POD timeframe. Here you can enter number of days. These number is the days till which if the POD is not confirmed, then the Delivery is autmatically confirmed & you can create Invoice without accessing VLPOD.

Hope this helps...

Thanks,

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.

This is especially important for deliveries where the delivery quantity varies because of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start.. The reasons for deviation that occur most frequently 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.

Settings

1. Check the settings in the customer master : Shipping tab mark relevant for POD

2. Check the setting at the delivery item category level mark POD relevant

3. Use VLPOD after PGI to confirm the receipt of material
