proforma invoice in STO

[Former Member]

hi guru`s,

Today i am facing with new issue, i am unable to create proforma invoice for STO business scenario.Before posting this discussion i spend some time on google and SCN, but thats not help me to resolve my issue.

When i try to create proforma invoice with F8 system generate massage saying that "item is not relevant for billing". so i checked in delivery document status over , here i found billibg status is empty.

Everybody  suggest me to check your item category is "NLN" and billing relevance is D(relevant for proforma invoice). i check both settings and seems fine.

Can any one suggest me to check/ need to maintain any other setting.

Thanks

Hi Guru`s,

i have one doubt it seems very basic but i struct on that point. i just want to now how the system knows whether particular STO is relevant for proforma invoice or not. which settings exactly control the billing functionality ( normal invoice /proforma/not relevant ) .

Note : i check all the possible functionality which i know but still i am unable to generate proforma for STO.

Thank u

Viswa

What do you mean by Particular STO ?

Our Billing Type or Billing process in any scenario convey / will find out  by VOV8 settings of Billing Type Field .

Note : Need more info on this .

Hi narendra,

I use first approach( ME21N-VL10B-VL02N-VF01) and maintain default order type (DL) in delivery STO delivery type NL , and maintain billing relevance D( pro forma invoice) in item category NLN.

Please find the screen shorts for your reference .

Thanks,

Viswa.

Viswanadh,

Is copy control maintained / configured?

Check in VTFL for delivery type > billing type.

Added: In IDES I have checked in VTFL, F8 < NL, item category NLN is already set up.

Can you please inform why your client (or you) want to create a proforma invoice?

The goods are being transported from one plant to another plant, in the same company code. Can the truck driver go with a printout of the delivery note, from the delivering plant to the ShipTo party?

Hi Tw,

copy control setting will be the next step , first system has to update states overview "A( not at processed )".

Note: i check the copy control setting aslo it`s seems fine.

Thanks

Hi,

In VF01 after giving delivery document did you select F8 - Proforma billing document? Try to select billing doc type F8 and let us know the result.
