Two issues with billing and paying

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can someone help on this from the SD/FI functional side. We face two issues.

In our scenario, when a sales order is created, more than one vendor can deliver the order.

e.g:

A sales order is created for 10 materials by a buyer(B1). Two vendors (V1 & V2) promise to deliver the materials 5 each. The first vendor V1 delivers the 5 materials, but the second vendor V2 delivers only 2 materials. So the first issue that we face is when we bill the buyer, he is getting billed for the whole 10 materials even though only 7 delivered. If we try to solve this problem by waiting till the second vendor delivers the remaining 3, then we face problem of not paying the vendor V1 & also V2 if the second vendor V2 does not deliver the rest. So the vendors have to wait till all the vendors deliver the materials.

Could someone tell me how these issues can be solved?

Thanks

Priya.

Hi,

u can try with Shiv Ram's suggestion.In addition to this, please change the billing relevence as G from F in item category TAS.

Use T-code VOV7.go to the details of TAS or ur own created item category for third party sales. there, billing relevence is F, means status according to invoice quantity. u change it into G, means order related billing of delivery quantity..sothat u can bill the buyer with delivery quantity only..

hope it helps..

Hi Priya,

First of all i want to know the material ur customer ordered is a trading material or it is not available at that point of time .

If it ia s treading material then u will not face any problem,since u will bill ur customer based on the MIRO.

If out of 10 material ,7 was delivered then only billing will happen for 7 material only .

For that u have to maintain the material as third party material & it will trigger as TAS in the sales order & TAS will trigger CS (schudeline category), based on schedule line category Purchase Requisition No will generate & then u will raise PO(two) to two different vender........

Vendor will deliver the material to the customer & then vendor will send the invoice to u , based on the Invoice verification u will bill ur customer....

If the material is not available with u at that time then just raise a sales order & manually change the item Category to TAS. If the system will not allow u then go to VOV4 & maintain the Manual Item Category as TAS then it will accept the item category as TAS.

then repete the same as earlier I said......

I hope it will meet ur requirement.

Regards

Hi,

You can use third party sales order process.

When a sales order is created, based on the item category, the system can create purchase requisition. From the purchase requisition, two purchase orders can be created to two different vendors. In the purchase orders, the delivery address will carry your buyer address.

Once the goods are delivered, the vendor will issue their invoices. During account posting, the payment to the vendors will be issued based on their invoices, which will be based on the actual goods delivered.

After vendor invoice posting, the buyer invoice can be created in which correct pricing can be created.

Hope this helps
