POD is the "Proof of delivery". It is the customer's acknowledgement of goods receipt.

Many organisation follow POD system. If POD is used in the organisation , then Billing document can be created only after getting the confirmation of goods receipt(POD) from the customer through the automated IDOC.

Otherwise you can not bill the customer.

Normally , no difference occurs between the delivery quantity & the quantity acknowledged of receipt by the customer.

But,sometimes difference is reported and if differences are reported then you can not process automatically. Here manual involvement is required.

Some authorised employee will manually varify the actual quantity and he will certify it. On the basis of the correct varified quantity, billing is created.

The concerned employee has to specify,why this difference has occured.

Hi

Proof of delivery is the confirmation of stock from the customer side.

example : when any people send a courier to you , the courier follow will ask you to sign in a slip say that the quantity of the material is reached to you correctly and the date and time stampings.

Proof of delivery functionality is used in third party , intercompany and some of process like cash sales etc.

transaction code VLPOD.

Process.

create a sales order --> delivery (dont do pgi) --> shipment > PGI (vlo2n)> vlpod ---> Billing.
