You require to do the necessay configuration for Foreign Trade Data:

IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic Data for Foreign Trade --> (Do the necessary configuration here)

In most probability, it will not default, but it is required to be maintained in Invoice (based on configuration)

In the Scenario mentioned by you, it is required to create Proforma invoice based on sales order. To create Proforma invoice, ensure that if you are using an item category anything apart from standard, do ensure to configure the item category in copy control from Sales Order to Billing at Item level, else it will give an error. T.Code to create proforma Invoice is VF01 & we use the same methodology as we create invoice, except that Billing Type F5 is selected manuallly.

hi,

Proforma invoice is created on paper for exported goods to provide the customs authorities with evidence of the cost of the goods.

Use

When you deal in export, you may need to print pro forma invoices. They are used to give the importer or the responsible authorities in the import country details about forthcoming shipments.

Structure

A pro forma invoice appears exactly the same as a customer invoice. The difference is that this invoice does not need to be paid. Therefore, the system does not forward data to Financial Accounting (FI). No statistical data is created on the basis of pro forma invoices.

you can have proforma invoice at order level ( F5 ) and at delivery level ( F8).

Goods issue is not required before you create a delivery-related pro forma invoice.

You can create as many pro forma invoices as you like for a sales order or a delivery because the billing status in the sales order or delivery is not updated.

Data from the pro forma invoice is not passed on to financial accounting.

Pl reward if it helps.

Thanks
