Can we generate proforma invoice in case of POD for GI

Hi
Can you please clarify me the following....
Can we generate proforma billing after goods issue if the transaction is POD relevant.
while sending the goods to the ship-to a proforma invoice should accompany the goods.
Is it possible ?

Hi Anil,
Yes you can create Proforma invoice for the delivery after PGI even that delivery is relevant for POD.
You can accompany a proforma invoice while sending the goods to the ship-to party.
I hope it will help you,

Can we generate two invoice for same product in two different currency

dear all gurus,
actually we are in export sales
so we are generating export invoice.
my client is asking for another invoice in INR too this is called comercila invoice
with this i ve to generate the ARE form
so how to do this three things
1.export invoice in foreign currency
2.commercial invoice in INR
3.ARE form with referance to this export sales
with regards
subrat

Hi Subrat,
I really dont know how this scenario can be handled.
2invoices for the same order is not allowed legally also. So if the user is asking for it, may be first they need to discuss this with their legal department.
If they say ok, then you may think of only an output, where you can change the values with a standard exchange etc. But having 2invoices in the system of different currencies for a single sales order will lead to lot of problems in reporting.
Can somebody throw some light on this, on how to enable this without any problems.

Generating Proforma invoice (F8), and getting print immediately.

Hi Gurus,
When generating Proforma invoice for deliveries (F8 type invoice in VF01) they do not print immediately. We have to save in VF01 and then go to VF02 to print. This needs to be changed to print immediately on saving in VF01.
What is the configuration setting involved for this.
Please let me know for the same

IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Output Control --> Output Determination --> Output Determination Using the Condition Technique --> Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents
--> Here maintain new condition table with a combination of Billing Type, Sales Organization desired fiels & assign the same to Access sequence being used. Ensure that fields are released in Access Sequence.
Maintain Condition record for the same, based on Billing Type, which will address the issue.

Line Item Problem in while Proforma Invoicing in case of STO

Hi All,
The problem is related to Line Item Quantity in Proforma Invoice which is explained with an example -
When we are doing Outbound Delivery for STO ( Stock Transfer Order ) we have the batch-split function where 2 line generates for a single line item material A in which in the first line no delivery quantity and value gets reflected and in the second line for the same material the delivery quantity gets reflected with batches. Then we save the order and done PGI. After that while doing the proforma invoice there also again the 2 lines appear for the single material A where the first line doesn't contain invoice quantity and value and show as 0pcs.In the second line for the same material it shows the invoice quantity with value. I want to remove this first line for the same line item from proforma invoice and want the system to generate only one line for the line item containing the invoice quantity.
Point to be noted that this thing doesn't happen for normal sales cycle done through Sales Order.
I have also checked with the Item Category NLN where i have tried the Billing relevance N - Pro Forma - no zero quantities (including main batch items) and L - Pro Forma - no zero quantities. Still the same problem is arising.
What is the problem here and how can it be solved?
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

check for your batch item cateogry,,, maintain the batch item cateogry setting same as it is ther in case of normal sale cycle. or what you can do ,,,copy your batch item cateogry and create a new batch item cateogry for your STO delivery .
i did it and it is working fine for me. please check the batch item cateogry and matain it the same way.
cheers

Closing an order by generating proforma invoice

Hi,
is it possible to close an order by generation of proforma invoice? (for cases in which order is opened only in order to generate a proforma invoice for customs purposes only)
if so how - with what type of order, etc

Hi,
cases in which order is opened only in order to generate a proforma invoice for customs purposes only)
--> go to VOV8, select the order type you with to use, then go to Billing Tab and put F5 ( Pro ZForma customer ) in Order-rel.bill.type. And remove all others under billing tab.
You can use quotation for this. Order Type - QT. if you are going to use QT then the settings are already there.
Let us know.

Can we make Proforma invoice for STO Returns

Dear All,
Can we capture the STO return details in proforma invoice?
Thanks in advance.
Siva

Dear Ram,
When we create Proforma invoice, there wont be any postings to accounting documents. It is just an record to maintian.
So i dont think it is required to create an Proforma invoice during return delivery , Better u create return delivery STO with a tick mark.
Follow the same process.

Can BC Generate an invoice with the customers payment information without actually processing it.

I am trying to set up our E-shop using BC. We have a very ancient Point of sales/Inventory system so to sync our system with BC wouldn't be possible so what I would like to do is use BC E-commerce system to generate invoices and collect the payment information from the customers and have it sent to me and the customer and then I would process this physically.
Is this possible?

Take a look at the System Emails - Drop Shipping. This is the one you'll receive if you're the supplier.
Actually come to think of it, simpler still....
... the workflow notifcation for online orders contains the Invoice details.
Under a relevant workflow in 'Manage Workflows'; you tick the 'Orders' checkbox.
Then add your email address to the steps for the notification.
Regarding the payment side, could you set it to use "cash of delivery" only; this way you can manually process the payment later?

Can we generate the Offfice 365 MX-Token needed for the MX-DNS-Record by ourselves?

Hi there
As a hosting company we programmed a DNS-zone-editor in which our customers can edit their DNS-zone. A new feature we are offering is a so-called "DNS-Template-Service", in which our customers can select predefined record templates like GoogleApps
and then trigger by one click the installation of the predefined records.
We also would like to offer them "Office 365" as a template. According to this article https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Create-DNS-records-at-any-DNS-hosting-provider-for-Office-365-7b7b075d-79f9-4e37-8a9e-fb60c1d95166#BKMK_add_CNAME we
understand that all we need to do is to add a couple of CNAME, TXT and SRV records which is great.
However, there is also an MX record with a dynamical component (the "MX-Token") that is required:
<MX token>.mail.protection.outlook.com
We understand that this token can be fetched by the customer from their office installation. However that would break the purpose of our templating system that is designed to work like an on/off switch.
So our question is if there is any way that our system could generate this token by itself since we have knowledge of the customers domain anyway.
According to some customers who already installed those records manually we can see some patterns:
Example 1: domain1.com results in an MX with a value of
domain1-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
This is easy: just replace the dot with a hyphen.
However for domains with hyphens in the name a special conversion is made and appended on the back of the first part:
Example 2: domain-withdash.com results in an MX with a value of domainwithdash-com01e.mail.protection.outlook.com
Example 3: dom-ainwithdash.com results in an MX with a value of domainwithdash-com0i.mail.protection.outlook.com
Example 4: doma-in-withadash.ch results in an MX with a value of domainwithdash-com01bb.mail.protection.outlook.com
So what is the algorithm for this (probably bidirectional) conversion?
Thanks for letting us know and make it easier for our customers to use office 365 with their own domain name.
Regards
Lukas
Developer @ cyon GmbH

We actually spent the last 1.5h to reverse-engineer the pattern and (hopefully) found the right answer on how these hyphen-replacements are substituted.
* This functions generates a token as done in office 365
* @return mixed|string
private function getOffice365MxToken($domain)
$delimiter = '0'; // delimiter between the domain part and the hyphen replacement part
$token = $domain;
$hyphenReplaceToken = '';
// split domain string into chunks of 4 chars
$chunkSize = 4;
$chunks = str_split($token, $chunkSize);
// transform the hyphens (their position) in the domain name to an alphanumerical character string
$skipCount = 0;
$intOfA = ord('a'); // get the decimal value of the letter 'a' as start value
foreach($chunks as $chunk){
$digit = $intOfA;
for ($i = 0; $i < $chunkSize; $i++){
if('-' === $chunk[$i]){
$digit += pow(2, $i);
if($intOfA === $digit){ // if the value is a it means no hyphen was found
$skipCount++;
continue;
if (0 !== $skipCount) {
$hyphenReplaceToken .= $skipCount;
$hyphenReplaceToken .= chr($digit);
$skipCount = 0; // rewind skip count
if(strlen($hyphenReplaceToken) > 0){
$token .= $delimiter . $hyphenReplaceToken;
$token = str_replace('-', '', $token); // remove - from domain name
$token = str_replace('.', '-', $token); // replace dots with -
return $token;
Short-hand explanation: The pattern showed that the domain string simply gets chunked into pieces of 4 chars. For each setting at which hyphen(s) can be located at the index value (seen as bit mask 0124) is added up. The resulting number we get per chunk
then can be added to starting decimal value of the letter 'a' (97) and thus gives us another letter that substitutes the hyphens locations in this chuck. If no hyphen is found, the algo simply counts for how many chunks none were find and adds this up sa a
number.
These concatenated letters + skip-numbers then result in the replacement token that gets appended on the end of the domain name (hyphens removed, dots replaced with hyphens).
Oh and yeah, between these two parts a '0' is added as delimiter.
That's it. I hope we got it correct.

Delivery - Proforma - Invoice

Hello Experts,
During requirement gathering we propose order related billing for Proforma,but the problem is some of the data which require for proforma output is capturing from outbound delivery.also user wants to create proforma with reference to delivery.
my question is - is it possible to create proforma with reference to delivery without dng PGI and then billing document from the same delivery nos.
Can one proforma and invoice generated from one delivery nos.???
Kindly suggest.
Thanks
Shri..

Hello,
Yes, we can do this in SAP Standard.
Infact this is the process normally followed in many industries, specially where advance payment is required.
You can create a Proforma Invoice from Delivery Document before PGI & then create actual Invoice after doing PGI.
For Proforma Invoice before PGI you have to do the following setting:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Billing - Billing Documents - Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents - Copying control: Delivery document to billing document
Here select your Delivery & Billing Type & at Header Level in Copying requirements insert routine 11 - Head.dlv-rel.w/o GI.
No other setting is required for Delivery to actual Invoice.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Proforma Invoice generation

Hi,
we want to generate proforma invoice after completing packing at shipment level/before PGI.
Is it a way we can automate the process to print proforma invoice for all deliveries as soon as it is packed at shipment level.(Instead of using t.code:VF01 and enter all the relevant deliveries to generate Proforma invoice)
We want to explore std functionality in SAP R/3 rather then custom development.
Thanks
DD

In Billing Document, in create mode (VF01), select Billing Type F5 for Order related Proforma Invoice or F8 for delivery related proforma invoice. Proforma Invoice type will have to be selected in dropdown list in the very first screen of T.Code: VF01.

How to reverse the cancelled proforma invoice

Hi guys,
In my case end users has changed the status cancelled by choosing the complete option in VF02 for proforma invoice.Is there any way to reverse and make the Status as completed instead of Cancelled.

Proforma invoice number is not in the document flow of the order.

Hi all,
I have a doubt , if i create an proforma invoice based on order, and after that i create delivery and billing, i cannot able to see the proforma invoice in the document flow of the particular order. pls guide me on this
Thanks all
Kumi

Hi,
Goto VTLA, and check the UPDATE DOCUMENT FLOW in the copy control
If it is already set , then directly from sales order you can find the Proforma invoice .
Goto the sales order in VA02 and enter into the overscreen and from there check the document flow ( F5), now you can see the Proforma invoices.

santosh

Proforma Invoice program ---delivery related with billing block on SO

Hi,
I need some help on Profoma Invoice--delivery related.
I have created a Sales order with Billing block, then created delivery and picking,handling but no PGI.
Now I am trying to create a Proforma invoice for delivery (before PGI ),
I can create the Proforma invoice manually using VF01 by selecting the document type and by delivery number input in the docs selected.
But I want to create the proforma for the above mentioned scenario using batch job, I have tried both RV60SBAT and SDBILLDL but both of them are not working.
Both the program are fetching delivery for proforma creation if PGI is done (Even though the billing block is set on Sales order)
or Billing block is not there on Sales order if PGI is not done.
Thanks and Regards,
Ananda

Hi,
The programs below are for the specified transactions below.
"SDBILLDL" program is for the transaction "VF04" which is for creating the Final invoice(Original Invoice) i.e. Billing due list.
Where as "RV60SBAT" is for the T.Code "VF06" which is for creating the invoice in background.
So these two programs will not create proforma invoices.
Incase if you have only proforma invoice not final invoice,then maintain this proforma invoice type in "VOV8" T.Code under order/delivery-related billing.thwn you can create Proforma invoice by using Vf04/VF06(By using these programs).

Krishna.
