customer aging analysis based on terms of payment

[Former Member]

Hi,

If the payment terms is 30 days from the date of goods receipt at customer site...then how will I capture the goods receipt date at customer site and make it the day from which the aging analysis will start.

Is there any standard functionality in SAP present.

Kindly guide.

Warm Regards

If you activate the POD relevancy you can use this to have your Billing be POD relevant. Then you can have the Billing from POD not PGI

Dear Somnath

Why dont you consider having POD concept ??

Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the proof of delivery itself, you can also record the POD date, POD time, the actual quantity that arrived and the reason for possible differences in quantities.

This is especially important for deliveries where the delivery quantity varies because of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start. You are now in a position to issue an accurate invoice based on the customer's confirmation of goods received. You no longer need to create credit memos. The reasons for deviation that occur most frequently in "real world" scenarios such as stock shrinkage, theft, certain characteristics of goods (volatility, for example), and transportation damage are recorded and analyzed in the system. This analysis is especially valuable when you are negotiating with forwarding agents, vendors, or customers, since all deviations can be reflected

In customer master Sales Area Data under Shipping tab, you have to select the tabs [Relevant for POD] and [POD timeframe]

T.Codes used for POD are VLPOD, VLPODF & VLPODL

Hi,

Normally date of shipment is considered for aging analysis. Still if requirement is consider customer material receipt date, then you need to collect goods receipt date from every customer and update it in your Invoice accounting document in base line date.

Hi,

You have to update customer receipt date in the "Base line date" in the customer line item of Invoice accounting document.
