Block billing but allow PGI?

[former_member340496]

For international shipments going via vessel, we will pick parts for the order and place them on the shipping dock. These parts could be kept on the docks for 3-4 or more weeks awaiting a container and/or shipping instructions from the customer. During this time, the delivery is not PGI'd and the parts appear to be 'available' (on the delivery) without a PGI. We don't want to PGI because we don't want to invoice until the shipment has taken place. We can manually set the billing block to allow for the PGI, but it then becomes a manual process to remove the block so billing will take place.

Is anyone aware of a way to block billing based on a shipping condition or shipping location? Does anyone else have suggestions or experienced this same requirement?

Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Marla,

I don’t know what tcode you use for billing but in VF04 you have, in selection screen, field shipping point. You can create a variant in which you set your shipping docks (shipping points) “not equal to”  and they want be selected. When is time to bill those deliveries, run VF04 without this variant.

You can additionally create a new tcode for VF04 with the variant you’ve created.

Thank you all for your responses. Since we don't want to block at order type or item type, since these are utilized for both international and domestic shipments, and since we cannot block based on shipping condition or shipping location, I believe the only way to resolve our issue will be completely manual. I will look into the user exit option (thank you G. Lakshmipathi) but since the removal is still manual, I do not believe the business will approve.

Again, thank you all for your replies.

Best regards,

Marla

Standard functionality will have Billing Block either for order type which is at header level or for item category which is at item level. There is no provision based on Shipping Condition or Shipping Location.   So with these available standard configurations, if you set any of these blocks, user has to remove this manually. From your comments, if I understood your requirement correctly, couple of shipping conditions are there and you want auto billing block only for one shipping condition.  If that is the case, then you need to go with user exit.  There again, user has to release the billing block manually.
