Hi Chandrasekhar

Standard SAP allows you to create any number of Proformas against one delivery. If you want to resitrict this, with the help of your ABABer, try with User Exit <b>RV60AFZC</b>. It should definitely work.

Hi Chandra,

proforma invoice is a dummy invoice which can be created at any point of time.

it doesnt have any account impacts.

when u want to create proforma invoice after sales order goto vf01 and select billing type as <b>F5</b> then do billing.

when u want proforma invoice after delivery goto VF01 and select <b>F8</b> then create billing.

reward points if it helps.

thanks&regards

Hi Chandrashekhar,

Proforma invoice is nothing but just a copy which gives information about that document.

When you create a proforma invoice, then there is no accounting documents will be generated.

so you can create any no. of proforma invoice.

Generally proforma invoice is used when

1. the client wants advance payment from the customer

2. this can be used for Customs purpose when the goods are shipped to another country.

Which gives just information about the invoice amount, with this no susbsequent documents will be generated.

Hope this gives you some idea.

REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Hi ChandraSekhar,

By default the system creates number of proforma invoices. We can also stop them.

one way i think it will work is

Select count from VBFA table for the delivery number in preceding document (take the user entered delivery number) and proforma invoice cateogry in subsequent document category Proforma Invoice (U). If the count is more than zero, then terminate it.

You need only enable this check for when user tries to create proforma invoice and not regular invoice (Invoice Type - F8).

Award points if it adds information.

Thanks
