Billing block on order with proforma invoice

Hi,
In our process, we take on new customers who need a pro forma invoice to pay us but often the final amount varies from what was initially expected. There is no delivery and the Proforma will create from the order. However, we will correct the order with the final quantity (service time) once the customer visit ends. e.g. an order was $100 and the pro forma invoice was sent for $100. it turns out the final service was for 150 - the customer at the moment pays only 100 but will pay the rest when we send the bill. Once the service is complete the order is corrected to 150. The volume is high so we have billing jobs running to create the invoices from the orders.
Exploring 2 options:
1. To make the correction, we want an automatic billing block put on the order once a proforma is generated. When the order is corrected subsequently, we will remove the block too. If it can't be done automatically, then 2 below:
2. One can't generate the pro-forma if there is no billing block on the order. This is to prevent the person responsible to print it if he/she forgets to put the block
Either of the 2 scenarios will work for us. Is there any user exit which can do this?
Thanks a lot.

If you are handling these orders with a different order type, then just default the order with a billing block"Review pending" using OVV3, don't assign this block for the Proforma invoice, but assign it to the regular invoice using OVV4 .
Then you can always make sure that a billing block exists on the order before the proforma invoice gets printed.
Option 2. If you are not using specific order type for the process.
In this case think about assigning the billing block for the orders that are being placed by the new customers, try to figure out a logic to identify the new customers..
On the whole, <b> If possible</b> I feel its better to assign the default order block rather than creating a new program to assign the BILLING BLOCKS for all the orders that have Proforma Invoices printed and run this program in Background every day or twice a day when ever required..
Let me know if you need any more help

Dear Friend,
The only solution to your one performa invoice of one order line item is copy control setting.
You have to create a requirement go to T-code VOFM
then in the copying requirements of the billing types
ask your abaper to frame a requirement for one item one proforma.
then assign the same in the t-code VTFA .
OR
Ask your users to go to VF01 and sleection lists and do the indivual billing of the Order items.

Billing block and Order Reason

Hi Gurus,
I have recently created a billing block which I have entitled Z2 - Goods Movement and assigned it to all customized Z sales documents.
This is a requirement from our client wich has the following effect:
- It still allows delivery to happen
- It doesn't print the invoices or other sales documents but saves them to be produced on demand at a later time
Now the client wants to link this billing block so that when their end-user creates a sales ordermin VA01, he also chose an order reason to justify the use of this billing block. He wants to call this order reason: 'Billing block for goods movements'.
1- Is that possible to do without using ABAP?
2- How can I create a new Order reason myself?
Your help us greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Your first point:
I have recently created a billing block which I have entitled Z2 - Goods Movement and assigned it to all customized Z sales documents.
This is a requirement from our client wich has the following effect:
- It still allows delivery to happen
- It doesn't print the invoices or other sales documents but saves them to be produced on demand at a later time
You have created a billing block so it does not stop delivery to happen. To stop delivery you must use delivery block.
With billing block you can not make billing document, then how you can print the invoice.
You can create your order reasons in IMG- S&D -
Elaborate what actually you want with order reasons? In billing block only you can give the reasons for that.

Ravi

Automatic credit release of blocked Sales orders with pre payment

Hi ,
We have a requirement as given below.Please suggest a better solution for this.
The customers have the 'prepayment ' payment terms with different percentages of the sales order
value to be paid before the delivery creation.
When the sales orders are created, they are blocked for delivery by some credit block.
The business use VKM1 transaction to view these blocked orders and release them manually for
delivery creation after checking if the customer has made the prepayment.This is a tedious work
(since there are too many sales orders )for the credit manager who dont have the complete
visibility of how much prepayment the customer has made and need to manually check if the
payment made covers the sales order prepayment amount to be paid.
1. How can we do a automatic release of these blocked sales orders?
2. Is there any program(which can be setup as batch job) to do a credit recheck and release the order
automatically?
3. Will Milestone billing plan functionality satisfy this requirement?If so how?
We are using SAP version 4.7 without Project System.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ragesh

Hello,
This is not possible because when you created the sales order it has checked the credit limit for that credit limit and if you increase also now that block cant go automatically.
Go to VA02 i.e change mode of sales order and change something and enter may be if you created a order for 2 quantity then go to VA02 and remove the quantity 2 and again type 2 then system will again check for credit and now that is increased so the order will not block..
If this is for many order then you can run changes sales order BAPI for mass update. Take help from ABAP guys.
Cheers

Create blocked purchase order with BAPI_PO_CREATE1

Hi,
I´m creating stock transport orders with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. At first, I need to
set them to the release status 'S' for blocked. After some checks, I want be able
to relase it and create the delivery.
I have found some fields like rel_status inside of the header structure of
BAPI_PO_CREATE1. But when I set this to 'S', the purchase order is created
with status 'released'.
How can I create a purchase order with BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and set it to 'blocked'
first?
Thanks, Arne

Purchase Orders with outstanding invoice - How to clear these down?

Hi,
We have a large number of purchase orders with an outstanding invoice which will never be fulfilled. I would like to know what is the process for clearing these down so the purchase orders will be marked for archiving, and so they will not be visible when running me2m with selection parameter RECHNUNG. I've tried setting the final invoice flag but I can still see the order.
Thanks,
Steph.

you have to clear the GR/IR account with MR11.

Feature Request: production order after proforma invoice

Hello all,
we found out that a process often used in reality is not covered by SBO.
Given the case you have an article consisting of a BOM. A customer orders this article, you create a proforma invoice, the customer pays and then the article is produced and delivered to the customer.
In SBO you cannot create a production order based on an sales order, when a proforma invoice is created. The proforma invoice closes the sales order and production orders can only be based on open sales orders.
It should be possible to habe production orders based on proforma invoices or on closed sales orders to cover this scenario.
Thanks
Frank

In version 2007, you can create a Down Payment Invoice, which does not close the sales order.

Link with blocked sales order with advance payment

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenerio, where, due to a shortfall of customer credit balance, system blocks the sales order and upon receiving an advance payment from the customer, i would like to know if the system can validate that, an advance has been received and can inform the user that advance received against the blocked sales order. So that, instead of manually releasing the blocked sales order user gets to know whihc are the sales orders to be released first and based on which system can allow the user to release first the blocked sales order and then the subsequent sales orders are processed for credit check.
Is there any exit or what is the enhancement that can be implemented for having this scenerio mapped.

If you dont maintain any sale order reference and execute VKM3, system will populate all blocked sale orders. There users can select the required sale order and release it and I dont think, for this purpose, an user exit is required. You can also even consider VKM1
Still if you feel that it is required, you can try with any of the following user exits.
1) LVKMPFZ1: USER_CREDIT_CHECK1
2) LVKMPFZ2: USER_CREDIT_CHECK2
3) LVKMPFZ3: USER_CREDIT_CHECK3
thanks

Framework order with mandatory invoicing plan

Hi,
we have requirement from customer to ensure that It s no possibility to save Framework order without foundation Invoicing plan. We created for this customer type of PO - ZFO. Is any possibility how make this without coding some coding, we prefer some changes in customizing... I tried to make some change via Purchase order- Define Screen layout at Document level but without succcess.
Thanks
Petr

Hi,
   As of my knowledge, there is no option to make the push button "Invoicing Plan" mandatory in standard.
   If the user click on the invoicing plan button, the remaining fields will appear. These fields can be made mandatory, through transaction variant for ME21N using SHD0 transaction. But if the user forget to click on "Invoicing plan" button, the transaction variant will fail.
   If you want to make the invoicing plan button mandatory, you may to go for development. There is no configuration option as of my knowledge.

Block Sales Order Against Open Invoices Overdue

Dear SAP Guru's.
A customers credit limit is 100,000/- given and is utilised 70,000/-.
the previous bills are
SO date
01.06.08 25000/- 30 days credit given
10.06.08 15000/- 35 days credit given
28.06.08 30000/- 30 days credit given
As per the above still 30000/- credit limit is available for the customer. And now the same customer has come up with a PO worth 20,000/- for delivery. But i want to restrict this customer in creating a Sales Order as his first two bills are not paid after due date.
Please advise me. For solution points will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Instead of blocking customer for sales order creation. Please create sales order and put delviery block in sales order overview screen of VA01 and then save. So that sales order will be created with delviery block. As soon as customer cleared the over due then u can release the delivery block and then process it furthere..

SQL Queries for open sales orders with no invoice.

Hello all!
Is there a way to make a query to find out if there are any uninvoiced sales orders older than 5 days? I am having difficulty figuring out how the invoice is linked to the sales order.
I am more familiar with excel than SQL but I'm guessing it will be similar to the following:
SELECT * FROM ORDR WHERE today's date - posting date>5 AND (not sure what to check here for the invoice having been created)
**Note: my syntax is of course not exactly correct, this is just to give you an idea of what I'm looking for
Has anyone had to do this before or know how it would be done? It would be very useful for me.
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike
The document link is built on row level so the RDR1 should be used instead of ORDR to server your propose.
You could use this query to get all the lines do not link to a invoice.
*targettype 13 refers to target document invoice
select t0.docentry,t0.docdate,t0.linenum,t0.itemcode,t0.quantity,t0.price,t0.linetotal
from rdr1 t0 join ordr t1 on t0.docentry= t1.docentry
where t0.trgetentry is null and t0.DocDate < dateadd("d",-5, getdate()) and t1.docstatus = 'O'
or just use this query instead to find those lines do not link to any document
select t0.docentry,t0.docdate,t0.linenum,t0.itemcode,t0.quantity,t0.price,t0.linetotal
from rdr1 t0 join ordr t1 on t0.docentry= t1.docentry
where t0.targettype !='13' and t0.DocDate < dateadd("d",-5, getdate()) and t1.docstatus = 'O'
Please modify the code according to your needs.

MIRO : Avoid to show purchase order with final invoice

Dear guru ,
I enter an invoice with PO reference as vendor using MIRO.
The system show all the purchase orders of the vendor, also the po without remaining amount and quantity.
Does exist a chance to exclude these purchase order ?
Thanks.

Dear ,
thanks but my problem is that the system take the terms of payment from the first purchase order. This can be an old po with not actual terms of payment.
I want to avoid to show these old po.
The refresh button clear the deselect po but maintain the terms of payment of the first po,
Bye,
