How to trigger a provisional revenue following proforma invoicing?

[Former Member]

Dear friends/experts,

In a case where in, I will have to configure/integrate with FI in such a way that, when a proforma invoice is generated post PGI, provisional revenue to get generated. I know this is unusual interms of revenue generation in proforma invoicing! But, that is how it has to be and it is just provisional revenue!

I have learnt that, a provisional G/L would be created. Requirement is that, after proforma invoicing, provisional accounting must happen as below;

Debit-Provisional Invoice Amount & Credit-To sale (just provisional and it will not affect customer).

After the approval of the proforma invoice, the above debit&credit will be knocked off (reversed).

Then, when billing is done, actual invoice will be processed. (Debit-customer account & Credit-revenue G/L).

Kindly suggest expert thoughts and suggestions on;

1. Is the provisional accounting (Debit-Provisional Invoice Amount & Credit-To sale) is possible after proforma invoicing? Please elaborate.

2. How SD consultant will play his part interms of integration with FI to make this? What all configuration is required?

Thanks,

Vish

Hi,

Just want to remind you in Standard we dont have accounting document for proforma

but as you say it is your client requirement, then you have to activate it

From SD perspective, you have to assign the ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE in Billing document type VOFA

1. Is the provisional accounting (Debit-Provisional Invoice Amount & Credit-To sale) is possible after proforma invoicing? Please elaborate.

this is not possible in standard, may be you have to check in any of the FI Exits EXIT_SAPMV45A_003 where you can modify. But make sure appropriate logic to put, else it may impact your existing processes and scenarios. Your role in this area will be limited as it is purely FI area

2. How SD consultant will play his part interms of integration with FI to make this? What all configuration is required?

As mentioned initially, you have to assign the accounting procedure to the Billing document type in VOFA and basic configuration of VKOA should be done from SD perspective

Remaining configuration and customizing has to be handled by FI

hope it is clear
