How to print a Proforma invoice?? Pls help me.

[Former Member]

Yes.

F2 is actual Invoice, which will have financial impact.

F8 is proforma invoice, which will have no legal binding or financial impact. Proforma Invoice is need based.

Both can be created with reference to same Delivery in Transaction Code: VF01.

Hi,

From LF to F2 and F8 there will be COPY CONTROLS already maintained.

Just try to create the F8 Proforma invoice with reference to Delivery and F2 a commercial invoice with reference to same Delivery document.

If you Copied the standard and changed to Z document types then you have to maintain the copy controls from Delivery to Proforma and Billing in the Transaction code VTFL.

Please revert if you need more details

Hi Waz,

You can do it for same delivery as F2 is final invoice which posts accounting document and F8 is proforma invoice and does not post any accounting document.

Ensure that copy control settings are configured for delivery to billing for both F2 and F8.

Proforma invoice can also be with ref to order in that case setting for copy control from order to biling are required.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Yes,we can create the F2 and F8 invoice for the same delivery document.

F2 is nothing but the final invoice.

F8 is the Proforma invoice for Delivery document.

The flow is:

Inquiry>Quotation>Sales order>Delivery>F8 type invoice-->F2 invoice.

Proforma invoice is the sample invoice which will not create any accounting document.

Where as F2 is the final invoice by using which accounting document will be created and customer account will be debited.

For this we have to maintain the copy control between LF and F8 and LF and F2 document types using the T.Code "VTFL".

Hi

Thanks for your valuable input. So if I configure these settings in Copy Control, for every delivery these two invoices will be created so if we want to restrict the generation of F8 invoice in some special scenarios, can we accomplish that. F8 is not required for all deliveries.

F8 is not required for all deliveries.

In that case, you should have a different delivery type for which, you should not maintain copy control in VTFL for that delivery and F8
