Terms of payment - Transportation document

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are using payment terms in our business scenario. Our payment terms will follow customer received for calculation of discount.

We are using Transportation documents for shipping the deliveries. Each transportation document will applicable to only one customer. If the customer is having more than one delivery, we are clubbing the all the deliveries and creating the transportation document.

After confirmation of the customer, forwarding agent will give the confirmation based on the transportation document.

How can I give the receiving date of the customer, for calculating the terms of Payment terms for each invoice.

Plz help me out

Regards,

hello, friend.

well, there are a few ways to meet your requirement. you can try any of the following:

1. the system can take your invoice date as baseline for calculating payment terms; therefore, enter the customer acknowledgement date as your billing date when creating and saving billing documents.

2. you can also go for Proof-of-Delivery, which is similar but a little more complicated because you have to activate this on several levels (customer, item category, schedule lines, etc.); what this means is that you can bill a delivery only when you receive the customer's acknowledgement of receipt of delivery. to process POD, you can use VLPOD or VLPODL (you can use for parameters, the outbound delivery, delivery group, shipment number, etc.).

regards.
