Create invoice in reference to a sales order

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

Need your help once again please.

I would like to create an invoice with reference to a sales order directly (without being obliged to create a delivery than to do PGI).

I did some customizing (tcode: VOV8) but I didn't make it!

Guess something's missing.

Can someone explain to me, step by step, how to fulfill this requirement please ?

Thank you in advance.

Bahia.

Hi

Order related billing is a standard process and not required to make any changes to the sales document type in VOV8. In VOV7, in the item category - just change the billing relevance as Order related billing and save the changes. Create a sales order and then create the invoice.

sorry...forgot to mention about the copy controls between your sales document and the F1 Billing type.

Thanks,

Ravi

Alright let me explain to you the steps that I took to fulfill my requirement:

Which is to create invoice (type: F2) directly from a sales order (type: OR).

First, in tcode VOV7: I maitained the billing relevance as "B" for my item category (TAN).

Than, in tcode VTFA: I maintained copy controle between OR and F2. So I maitained item category TAN

For header, copying requirement is 001.

For item, copying requirement is 002

When I try to bill my sales order i get this error message: The item is not relevant for billing

What am I missing ?

First of all, order related billing type is F1 and not F2. Secondly, for order related billing, if I am correct, in copy control, you wont be able to see item category TAN which means, TAN is delivery related item category. For order related billing, the item category should have been TAD, TADC, TAO & WODD.

It did work Abhee.

Thank you so much.

But can you explain to me why the value "B" doesn't work for billing relevance?

What's the difference between B (Relevant for order-related billing - status acc.to order qty) and C (Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty) ?

So basically what I have to do is:

In tcode VOV8, in the billing tab: to maitain F1 for order-related billing document for sales document type OR.

Then, to assign item category TAO (or other) as item category of the higher-level item for the same sales document type.

Is there anything else I should do ?

Hi,

Three important things to keep in mind is

1. Assign the billing document type to sales order(VOV8)

2.The item category should be relevant for order related billing. i. e. to assign B(VOV7)

3.Set the copy control to create the billing document with reference to the order.

I am just enlisting the couple of example given in std R/3 which you can use for your reference.

A) Cash Sale.(Please note that you can only do billing after you had done PGI)

B) Credit memo request to credit memo.

hope this will help you to configure
