Incoterm for delivery

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We would like to find a solution related to incoterms for deliveries
As the date of invoice should follow the date when goods are received per customer

Is there any  specific flow under SAP?
Can we prepare goods, send it with a proforma invoice ?
Need to invoice after a confirmation of delivery

Can you please provide me the solution as I need to explain the same to customer

Regards,

Hi,

As Lakshmipathi Sir Highlighted the best way is to use Proof of delivery concept for this.

Check the below links:

Sai

If any topic that has been discussed quite frequently and in the same area, if anybody is asking some query, please encourage them to search instead of providing links.  The main purpose of this idea, introduced in SCN is OP should put some efforts before posting any query.  This is my request and dont take it in other way.

All,

W.r.t. POD, very informative document by Shridhar

Kiran,

1.

The requirement is

As the date of invoice should follow the date when goods are received per customer

What does "follow" mean?

After any specific number of days? Or on the same day?

2.

incoterms for deliveries

If the requirement is related to the date of creation of billing document and the date on which customer receives the goods, then this is not covered in incoterms.

Is there any thing specific, you would like to suggest / convey with the above (highlighted)?

Members,

You are suggesting POD!

But is the Ship To party prepared to take on this commitment?

Maybe, process related action can be the solution - E.g. one phone call or SMS from the SH customer.

Hi,

As our experts said, you can use the concept of POD

Activate POD settings in the customer master XD02--> in Billing tab and POD time frame ( let say 7 days)

which will allow you to do billing after the Delivery date

and once this settings are done, you have to do VLPOD to release the delivery from POD relevance after getting confirmation from the customer on Delivery of goods

after POD, you can do billing as in normal process

regards,

santosh
