Post goods issue

[Former Member]

Hi.

Is it possible to change the requirement in sales flow so that an invoice can be made before posting goods issue of delivery?

We have a situation where we need final quantity amount to be shown on invoice prior to completing delivery due to some local legalities and we are trying to avoid creating several outputs.

Any clues?

Dear Ryan

Yes you can do provided you have done copy controls in VTAF.

Hi and thank you all for the replies.

They were indeed useful and I might even award more points at a later time but apparently there will be no need to do such a roundabout solution as the client might finally decide to go the SAP Standard way.

One possibility is that create a delivery & do picking, after which create a Proforma Invoice with reference to Delivery - F8 (If the requirement can be met). After which the PGI may be done & actual Invoice can be created.

Just a suggestion.

Hi Ryan,

You van create a Proforma Invoice with respect to the sales order. The document type for this invoice is "F5".

1. You will have to maintain the copy control settings in transaction code "VTFA". Say your sales order type is "OR" so your target billing document type will be "F5" & your source order type will be "OR". Maintain the copy control settings for header as well as the item level.

2. In transaction code VOV8 select your sales order type as OR double click on it & maintain "F5" in the Order-relevant billing type field.

When you save the proforma invoice no accounting document will be generated.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi Ryan,

It is not possible to process billing before creating delivery and PGI. All the coding in copy control is based on the concept of sales-delivery-pgi -billing.

Yes, there are 2 ways of doing it.

1. Go for the order related billing config. However let the item catg. setting be relevant for delivery so that you may carry out delivery too. Here use T.Code VTFA and maintain copy control between the standard order type and the standard billing that you are using.

2. Conversely, use T.Code VTFA and maintain copy control between the standard order type and F5 - proforma invoice also. So that for the customer, you can show the output + maintain your existing system as well without any changes.

AWARD POINTS IF USEFUL.

Hi Ryan,

You need to maintain a certain kind of requirement in your copy controls from Sales to Billing and assign this requirement to your copy controls of Sales to Billing Document..
