Shipment Documents were consolidated into a single Billing Document

[Former Member]

HI,

Generate billing document against one shipment document which would have multiple deliveries(Customer requested shipment document wise billing instead of delivery).

The reason is we sometimes have multiple shipment documents for the same customer on the same day is because the volume of product is such that we need to ship it in more than one container.

Need help.

thanks.

Trx VTFL use appropriate condition in 'Data VBRK/VBRP' to split invoice.

HI Michael,

thanks for the reply

above answer not suits, my requirement is shipment against Invoice. as per SAP standards Invoice will create with reference sales order/delivery.

To my knowledge, there is no such process as "shipment-related invoice". Invoices can only be created from the orders or deliveries.You'd need a custom program for this to read the deliveries from shipment and "feed" them to the billing program. Or if you just need to group invoices by shipment then you can do that with the custom output program.

Either way this is not a standard process in "plain vanilla" SAP. Not sure if this is covered in Transportation Management module or some third party solution.

Thanks for the reply,

Please can suggest how i can reach below requirement?

Current result :

Delivery Document	Shipment Document	Billing Document
XXXXXXX	XXXXXXX	XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX	XXXXXXXX

Billing will happen in Batch job(VF04) and moreover payer and creation of billing date same because of that it will combine all deliveries creating a single invoice.

Expected result :

The idea is that Shipment document XXXXXXXX (containing three deliveries) had to get one billing document and shipment document XXXXXXX (containing one delivery) would get a separate billing document if run in Batch Job.

Delivery Document	Shipment Document	Billing Document
XXXXXXXXX	XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX		Billing document
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX	XXXXXXXX	Billing document

Hi Sreenivas,

Can you share screenshot of your current copying control for both Header and Item from TCode VTFL?

As rightly commented by Jelena that it is not standard behaviour to consolidate/collective Invoicing based on shipping doc. Moreover, to achieve this requirement, you have to go for enhancement.

Thanks, JP

Hi

Routine 602 is custom routine. You need to look through the code to understand the logic or ask for FS for the same.

Moreover,you have to give the logic(Business) for the code ABAPer to build the code for your requirement.

Thanks, JP
