Billing Document Proforma invoice for Returns to vendor

[rajiv_trivedi]

I havescenerio where company is returning material back to vendor due to poor quality. They need material back for next replacement.

Return to vendor process is mad eby me as follows:

Make POME21NMIGOcheck MMBEReturnPO/MB01/MBRL Mvmt Type122+ReasonDelivery RLLType (ItemCatRLLN)PGIStock Reduced MMBE/MB52

Config Settings Item Category RLLN

Billing Relevance D Relevant for Proforma Invoice

Pricing X = Standard pricing

Copy Control Delivery to billing document VTFL

Source RLL Target F2

Header Copying Requirement=009 Deliv related Proforma invoice

Item=Tan Copying Req 010 DLV Proforma Billing qty= D Delivery Qty, Ps/Ng=-, Pricing Type= G Pricing unchanged & redetermine Taxes

PROBLEM: When I am trying to create proforma invocie with reference to delivery Error "Item is not relevant for billing"

Even I maintained everything in item category relevant fro billing. Proforma invoice is required.

Please suggest best way how to resolve this problem.

Hi

Item not relevant for billing means there can be only two possibilities

1 In Correct Billing relevance in item category in VOV7

2. In Correct Copy control configuration

There cannot be a third mistake So we need to check these two only

For Item category NLN in VOV7 make sure billing relevance is maintained as A or D or J Preferably A or D

In My server it is maintained as A only and it works perfectly

In VTFL between delivery type NL to F8 at header level make sure copying requirements is maintained as 009 and at item level for Item category make sure NLN copying requirements is maintained as 010

These correct settings will solve your error

After making the corrections in configuration please create a fresh cycle and see and dont test it with already created delivery

Thanks

Hi Aman,

Many thanks for your answer. My delivery type is RLL with item category RLLN. You have suggested delivery item category NLN which is for delivery type NL

NLN is related to stock transfer and have no pricing. But this is not the case. My return delivery item category RLLN has billing relevance A and pricing standard X

Copying is done

Source Delivery Type RLL Target F8 as Proforma invoice

Header Copying Requirement=009 Deliv related Proforma invoice with assignment number B, Reference Number A Copyitem number Check box is Tick Marked.

Item=RLLN Copying Req 010 DLV Proforma Billing qty= D Delivery Qty, Ps/Ng=Negative (As goods are returned), Pricing Type= G Pricing unchanged & redetermine Taxes.

Still error is found that item category not relevant for billing. So please rethink the scenerio and suggest your thoughts to resolve problem. I am SAP SD person so may be missing some thing on MM part. Appreciate help.

Did u check complete settings for delivery is it complete at that level?

[rajiv_trivedi]

My delivery is complete returned by PGI complete. IN PO also it shows minus 22Pcs with value $484/-

[Former Member]

If all the above setting is complete and good.

The only reason for the error you are encountering are,

A. The item category missing at the item level in the copying controls from delivery to billing type

Kindly check throughly and confirm,

If it is there , then delete the configuration , i.e. item category from the copying controls and do it again.. Even if this do not resolve your issue, ask your technical team to debugg the billing document during creation and check.

Hi Aman,

All data are well set & no problem. Now I just deleted Item category RLLN and just reassigned with the same parameter. When i created Proforma Invoice it allowed me to create. Here quantity appeared as 22 pcs but no pricing means No Value for this Proforma invocie. Can you suggest where to check the setting? In setting Item category RLLN i maintained

Copying Req 009= Deliv related Proforma

Data VBRK/VBRP= Blank

illing qty=D (Delivery Qty)

Ps/neg. quantity=Blank

Pricing Type=D (Copying pricing element unchanged)

Thanks for nice tip.

Aman, but I am unable to create F2 billing from this. Here I deleted Item category & reassigned with the same parameter but error log in billing says "The billing item does not conatin quantity".

Copying item maitained as Target F2 Source RLL

Header Copying Req=003 (Header Delivery Related) I also have 904=Deliv-related item

Assignment number=C

Reference number=E

Check box ticked Copying item number

Item category RLLN

Copying Req=004

VBRK/VBRP=003 Single invoice

Billing qty=D Delivery Qty

Pos/Neg=Negative (as goods are returned to vendor)

Pricing type=D (Unchanged)

Rest filed not maintained e.g. Pricing Echnage type, Cumul Cost

When creating F2 from delivery error"Billing item does not conatin quantity"

Means in Proforma and also billing There is no quantity. But in delivery Qty is maintained with PGI. PO also shows Minus for returned Qty 22.

Aman, any further clue will be much appreciated.Thanks for your time.

Hello Aman,

Thanks for helpful tips. I could analyze the reason for not able to make proforma invoice. For return goods to vendor the correct method is first you accept goods MIGO/then make full billing by MIRO.

Then you create return delivery type RLL/Item category is RLLN which is not relevamnt for billing with no pricing. Return is by MBRL as earlier indicated. You will get Delivery Number. Now for return process no transfer order no packing is required. Just by doing PGI stock of the material in MMBE is reduced. Delivery shows status Complete.PO also shows return quantity & minus value.

Now do MIRO put amount, quantity, date etc. and create credit memo. From this I can also make Proforma invoice F8 delivery related.

I appreciate your help & has rewarded points.
