Invoice before goods Issue

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have a requirement for the European Plants that we should be able to create billing document (Not Proforma) before the Goods Issue in the case of Export scenarion.

Has anybody any idea how to set up the billing document so that I am able to do billing before goods issue.

Please advise.

Hi,

In VTFL try and change the copying requirement to 11 and see if the invoice is allowed to be created.

Hi,

We also had a similar scenario in one of our projects. We created a proforma Invoice to meet the requirement immediately after the delivery.

The goods were dispatched on the proforma Invoice and customs clearance also happened on the same. On the output we mentioned proforma Invoice no as the Invoice no and delivery no as the reference document.

At the time of final invoicing, PGI was carried out and Invoice output was generated. This output contained the proforma invoice again as the invoice no and Final invoice number as the reference document instead of delivery no. Finance postings and clearances were carried out using final invoice no in the system. A Z report was developed to establish a link between proforma Invoice no and final invoice no.

We followed this approach so as to book the COGS and Sales together, as otherwise it was affecting our monthly financial statements. If you are also facing the same problem, you may try the above approach.

The process remains the same as of normal sales, the only difference is that in case of Export , system should allow Billing document before Goods Issue.

Hi,

You can use the T.Code VTFA & select the proper combination of you target Billing Doc type & Source Sales Document Type.

Double clicking on the combination you can maintain copy control at header level, also main tain copy control for item level.

Hope this will help you.

Please revert back if any query.

Thanks
