creation of invoice

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

We have an issue with one of the client, the client is creating a invoice(mother invoice) when there is a dispatch and they send it to the customer's warehouse , as and when the customer lifts the material a invoice is generated(Baby Invoice) by the client which is only for reference and has no accounting implication as it can't be treated as Consignment due to the complete sales processes is done in the time of mother invoice process only, and baby invoice has no accounting implication and its only for customers reference only.

please suggest me in this issue

the business requirement is not totally clear to me. What is your question?

You can create pro forma invoice (F8) with reference to your delivery (here PGI is NOT mandatory), at the time the customer collects the goods or whenever it is required according to your business process.

Irrespective of creation of pro forma invoice, you can create invoice (F2) which also updates customer account and creates accounting doc.

Hello,

If your Baby Invoice is just for reference & there is no Accounting implications, then you can create Proforma Invoices with Reference to Invoice & issue it.

Hope you know about Proforma INvoice in SAP. If not, kindly search SAP Help & Forum.

You will have to set copy control records between Mother Invoice & Proforma Invoice (baby Invioce)

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
