Thanks for your reply . I tried creating Proforma Invoice. Since i need to create excise invoice as the stocks are moving out of the factory, i am making the proforma invoice as the base for creating excise invoice. After POD confirmation, i wanted the proforma invoice to be released for accounting or a new billing document to be generated automatically by the system. Its better if proforma invoice could be released. This is to ensure the same billing document is retained after POD confirmation.

Hi

Proforma cannot be released for accn it is just for reference purpose . u will have to create a billing document and the accounting entries would be possible only through that.

and for automatic billing generation u will have to take abapers help that as soon as the POD is confirmed it creates a billing docn and accn docn in the background for the delivery.

Thanks for your reply. Can the accounting document in the delivery be blocked once PGI done and after POD confirmation can the accounting document for delivery be generated in background.

Pooja,

Can the accounting document in the delivery be blocked once PGI done and after POD confirmation can the accounting document for delivery be generated in background.

With regards to POD functionality, only after the receiver of goods confirms the receipt of goods & the goods received and the goods in the delivery note match; then ONLY billing document can be created.

So before POD creation of billing document is not possible.

E.g.

Say in case1:

1. Delivery note has 20 EA

2. Billing document created for 20EA

3.Customer (Ship To party) confirms receiving 19EA (1 goods damaged)

Then the quantity billed to customer is incorrect.

That is why with POD functionality, the process steps are as follows:

1. Delivery note has 20 EA

2.Customer (Ship To party) confirms receiving 19EA (1 goods damaged)

3. Billing document created for 19EA

Side comment: Only after creation of billing document, can an accounting document be created.

With regard to billing yes after pod confirmation accounting document can be generated. But with regard to COGS entries in the accounting document of delivery be generated after POD confirmation.

why do u want to block accn document in delivery? in anycase it not possible in SAP Standard and even if the material is not delivered and the it returns back u can reverse the PGI process and accn entries so i dont think that it should be an issue.

Pooja,

A company will transfer the material to B by creating sale order He will raise
the delivery document and billing document. B will inward the material based on the
purchase order and will do MIGO (good receipt).Also we wanted the billing document
of Company A to be posted to FI (accounting doc generation) only after the MIGO
done by Company B. 

This scenario looks similar to SAP Third party sale.

In it only after vendor delivers to the customer, the company creates a billing document to the customer.

Customer -- sales order to ---> Company --- PR, PO to ---> 3rd party vendor

Delivery of goods done from 3rd party vendor to ---> Customer

The company makes creates a billing document to the customer, for the QUANTITY the 3rd party vendor has sent to the customer.

Please refer to Billing relevance F (Invoice receipt quantity minus invoiced quantity)

Please read about 3rd party sale and see how this process can help your scenario.

Please refer to the following replies in this thread. Supply is not from the vendor. Is from the plant of the same company. Hence inter company sales cannot work.

Inter company sales will not work you because the delivering plant is the from the same company and not the vendor. Further there is no control that once GR made billing document will be posted to FI in the supplying company

[Former Member]

it is a scenario of intercomapny stock transfer. And for posting the Billing document only after MIGO u can use the POD (Proof of delivery) option.

[Former Member]

If i use intercompany stock transfer sales entry will not get posted since the procedure for both intercompany and plant to plant transfer (within same company). Hence i cannot use this procedure

[Former Member]

But i will not able to raise the billing document for the delivery without POD

[Former Member]

yes you wont be able to create billing docn without POD. There are a few possibilities that u can explore:-

1) create proforma invoice from sales order  and create final billing only once you get the POD.

2) u can assign posting block in billing type so that it dose not release accn docn immidiately on saving the billing docn. but the downside is that u will still be able to release the accn docn from vf02 after saving the billing docn.

3) another option is using abapers help and putting a check that u should be able release the accn docn only after the other company has recieved the goods.
