our requirement is that we want to create billing before create delivery document, without billing and customer payment in system, we can not create delivery or post goods issue.
Remember one thing: The actual billing here (debit customer) can be done only AFTER PGI od the delivery. If you do not want that, then you shoud modify copy control VTFL and remove check that checks whether the delivery has been PGI'ed or not.
I read the docs for cash order, find that there is a comment 'the system automatically proposes the current date as the date for delivery and billing'.
We do not want the system like that, can we change it?
The reason we need billing before delivery is that sometimes we delivery the goods but can not get money back.
IN STANDARD SAP YOU CANT DO BILLING UNLESS DELIVERY COMPLETES.. BUT YOU HAVE OPTION ORDER RELATED BILLING F1 BILLING TYPE..IF DELIEVRY RELETED IS THERE BUT PROFORMA INVOICE F5/F8.BILLING TYPE..IF YOU WANT TOPROVIDE INVOICE BEFORE DELIEVRY YOU CAN USE PROFORMA INVOICE..IT DOESNT POST VALUES IN G/LACCOUNTS...ONCE YOU CREATE DELIEVRY THEN YOU CAN RAISE INVOICE..
What you need is order related billing, so use item categories which have billing relavance "B" or "C". Then in copying requirements of sales order to delivery for the same item categories, put a requirement which checks on Billing status of sales order = if complete then create deliveries. Otherwise wait till billing process is complete. If you also want to check on payment, then add additional logic in the requirement.
In that case, you just want to do delivery process just after Billing process is complete with an additional check of If the deposit is still there.. Let's say $10k deposit is there for customer XYZ. And there is a sales order for 9K, billing will be completed and deposit is going to be reduced to 1K. But still this order can be delivered as sales order is paid by the already available deposit. Now next order comes for another 9K. But only 1K is available as credit.. so if i understand it correctly, you don't want to process the delivery as it is not completely paid for. So, in copying routine in addition to billing check also check if that the deposit is there to pay for the invoiced value. If not don't do delivery.
Again, I don't have visiblity with your requirement completely but You can have copying requirement according to your business requirement.
