Shipment and billing interdependancy

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have following process flow

SO-> Outbound dely --> shipment --> Invoicing

We need to ensure that one should not be able to post invoice if shipment for the same outbound is not posted.

I have tried in development client and you can do invoice even if shipment is not done . Do system has any such interlock or how it can be achieved.?

Hi,

The standard process is that billing documents are referring to deliveries and not to shipments. Shipment document is aside for transportation operations.

If you would like to apply transportation status check when creating billing documents, you might need to add this to copy control (VTFL) requirements.

Still, the question is what should happen if one of the deliveries is not included into shipments? Would you reject the whole billing document, or rather only skip this particular item?
