Delaying billing based on POD receipt

Hi
Is anyone aware of the SAP best practice for enabling a delay in billing after POD receipt. This would be an international direct shipping scenario.
Thanks
Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the proof of delivery itself, you can also record the POD date, POD time, the actual quantity that arrived and the reason for possible differences in quantities. This is especially important for deliveries where the delivery quantity varies because of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start. You are now in a position to issue an accurate invoice based on the customer's confirmation of goods received. You no longer need to create credit memos. The reasons for deviation that occur most frequently in "real world" scenarios such as stock shrinkage, theft, certain characteristics of goods (volatility, for example), and transportation damage are recorded and analyzed in the system. This analysis is especially valuable when you are negotiating with forwarding agents, vendors, or customers, since all deviations can be reflected.

Bill, this is standard SAP. You will have to do 2 things to activate this SAP POD functionality:
- activate POD relevancy in the ship-to customer master (sales view, shipping tab)
- activate POD relevancy for the delivery item categories in customizing.
The Standard routine of copying requirements 003 - header/dl related in VOFM-> Copying Requirements -> Billing is the one that does not allow creation of invoice if POD confirmation is not received.

Hi
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.

Hi
If you want to set up Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date......then you have to create GR Date as one charecteristics in T.Code: CT04 and assign this charecter in Class with respect to class type 023
Then assign this class in Material Master Classification view..
Make sure in Material master, Purchasing view...you have activated Batch management active check box....
Then when ever you do GR in MIGO, In batch tab, In classification field maintain the GR Date..
Then Create sort sequence in T.Code: CU70 and you can maintain in what basis ie)in assending or desending GR Date you have to search the batch..
And then Create Batch Search Statergy in MBC1 and there you assign the sort sequence in Details...
Now you do your regular procedings.....the material Batch will be searched based on GR Date...

Billing based on Position Payer (re-posted again)

Hello,
Let me explain my doubt.
Our customer, the way of working, after creating sales order with documents flow, is modify de Payer at position level and later create again the Proforma billing, and the final billing.
This crash with the standard way of billing, for example:
Sales order A
Header payer: n1
10 Position payer: n1
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n1
Sales order B
Header payer: n2
10 Position payer: n2
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n2
Final billing by standard:
Billing number 1: against payer n1 (OK)
Billing number 2: against payer n2 (OK)
The problem is against payer n3, system generate 2 differents billing documents instead of one per the same payer.
Is it posible on VTFA- Billing based upon Order, item level 'Data VBRK/VBRP' , create a routine with a ZUKRI in order to billing by positions payers??
Another solution, on VOPA,delete PY for header billing partner procedure and add PY to position billing partner procedure?
I would be pleased if you can help us?
I have created this 9XX rutine and now system is splitting by WE instead of RG:
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
MODUL(3) VALUE '902',
VBELN LIKE VBPA-VBELN,
POSNR LIKE VBPA-POSNR,
PARVW LIKE VBPA-PARVW,
END OF ZUK.
ZUK-VBELN = VBPA-VBELN.
ZUK-POSNR = VBPA-POSNR.
ZUK-PARVW = VBPA-PARVW.
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
Any idea
Thanks in advance

Intercompany billing RD04 with goods-receipt-based invoice verification

Hi members,
we think about making use of the automated intercompany billing functionality with the RD04.
In our logistic processes we apply the goods-receipt-based invoice verification. This is a very important requirement. That means that invoices can be only posted if the goods receipt has taken place.
Is there a possibility to configure the automated intercompany billing so that this requirement is met?
Any ideas? Any documents? Helpful links?
Thank`s in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Imer,
I believe you must be following any one of below process steps for Inter company Billing:
Sales Order
Delivery
Customer Invoice
Inter-company Invoice
Or
Inter company STO
Delivery
Invoice
GR Based on Inter Company STO
Automatic Vendor Posting (RD04)
If you are following first process then no need for GR at all.
If it is second process then assign Requirement Routine (Logic: Check GR has been completed or not for STO, if completed Pass the requirement else fail. take MM consultant's help for exact table and field details if needed.)
Change the RD04 trigger based on Background Job processing and Run Background job for processing of the Output type.
Regards,
MJ.

Intercompany Invoice Based on Goods Receipt

Hello,
I am running the following intercompany scenario : Purchase order - replenishment delivery - internal billing document.
- Ordering organization : Cpy A / Sales org A / Plant A
- Supplying organization : Cpy B / Sales org B / Plant B
Standard SAP issues an invoice based on the goods issue, which makes perfect sense. My client's requirement is to trigger the intercompany invoice from the goods receipt at Plant A.

Hi
Please check the VTFL Copy control settings.In VTFL check Data VBRK/VBRP routine feild.For your requirement you may have to change the subroutine
If standard subroutines are not meeting your requirement,you may have to add new logic to the subroutine with the help of your ABAP team.

GR- Based IV - Goods receipt-based Invoice verification

Hi,
I am trying to make a new purchase order type all equal to the standart type. I only want an exception: the GR-based IV indicator must be, by default, off.
This indicator specifies that prevision has been made for goods -receipt base invoice verification.
So the goal is to have two kinds of purchase orders with a default GR-base IV indicator.

Milestone Billing based on Percentage & Quantity

Hi,
Can you please guide how to map the following scenario
I have Business Scenario in Milestone Billing.
The Milestone terms are assigned in CJ20N and the same is copies to
sales order. The Milestone terms defined in the Project are
50% Advance Payment
40% Agaisnt Supply (Treating this also as advance)
10% At the time of Installation.(Treat this also as advance)
50% Revenue Realisation
50% Revenue Realisation
Order quantity is 100RMT
Order Value 10000
The definition of the each milestone is as follows -
Advance Payment: This Milestone raised at the time of booking of sales
order for Advance Payment. Unless advance is receivd orders are not
execute in the business. It means 50% of 10000 = 5000
40% Agaisnt Supply : This Milestone is raised based on supply of
material to the customer. It means as of Milestone Billing Date if
material dispatched is 20MT then the Milestone Billing Booked in the
system is 10000*40% *20/100= 800 (treat this also as advance payment
and client called it as Running Bill) and the same way book the billing
in the system upto completion of 100RMT.
At the time of Installation: This Milestone is raised when the
Installation process is starts. It mean example, if finish the
Installation of 10RMT, then the Milestone Billing is raised as per
below formula - 1000010%10/100 =100 (Treat this also as Advance
Payment and call it as Running Bill).
Actual revenue is booked in the system, once receive the completion
certificate from the client.
As of now in the system, only accept the value base or percentage base
milestones in the system. This type of above scenario how to map in
the system, can please propose a solution.
Kindly help me
Regards
Goutham

hi Goutham,
you need to configure your item categories for revenue recognition based on milestones. Thus, what happens then is you are separating revenues and billing. You can continue billing your customer for whatever milestones you have 50/40/10%, and the revenue can be recognized on the completion of the final milestone.
For customizing revenue recognition type on item category level go to
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account assignment / Costing ->
Revenue Recognition, Or via transaction: OVEP.
Set Revenue recoginition as Category A timebased revenue recognition
and Accrual period start as B -proposal based on billing plan start date
in a milestone billing plan, the billing date of the first milestone is then taken as accrual start date.
You can work on the latest version of the Revenue Recognition Best Practices Guide. The link can be found in note 779365.
Thanks

Billing based on actual quality

Dear Gurus,
In our client company, they deal in different ore. If i want to ask a question only on sales side, then if their customer wants an ore with some qualities as captured in the variant configurator, like:
Character 1 = 65%
Character 2 = 2%
Character 3 = 12%
The price for this combination is (say) 100$/ton
But since this is ore, chances are that always that is not what comes out of the mine. So when it comes to doing delivey the quality changes to something like:
Character 1 = 62%
Character 2 = 1.67%
Character 3 = 14%
The price for this combination could be (say) 92$/ton
This information is only known at the time of delivery and this information has to be captured only at the delivery level and cannot be captured back in sales order, since for each sales order, there can be multiple deliveries, each delivery with different quality. But as per rule, customer has to be billed as per the Quality he receives. That is:
Sales Order SO1234 - Quantity 100 tons - Quality Combo1
          Delivery DEL567 - Quantity 15 tons - Quality Combo2
          Delivery DEL568 - Quantity 20 tons - Quality Combo3
          Delivery DEL569 - Quantity 18 tons - Quality Combo4    and so on . . . .
One small deviation is sometimes when the Quality analysis is not received on time, billing has to done on the quality as available in the sales order and the difference, if any, will be adjusted through Credit / Debit notes.
If someone can throw some light on this and give me a dynamic solution possibilities, that would be just great. Would appreciate all you help.
Best regards
Venkat - Hyd

Dear Yajee,
Please correct me if i am wrong.
1)The variant configuration has been done.
2) The pricing is based on variants (characteristics).
3) In delivery, the characteristics may differ from the orginal sales order.
Now , system should pick the price based on the characteristic values in delivery.
This requirement can be handled by using a Alternative condition base value in pricing assigned against the condition type for pricing.
The logic for the same will be
During VF01, system should fetch the record of the characteristics used for delivery and use the same values to
fetch the pricing records updated in the price tables.
Try this out with the help of ABAPer and revert back.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal

Billing Based on DIP Profile - PS - SD Line Items Structure

Hi,
I have created a sales order with 1 line item which is linked with a WBS Element via account assignment.
Based on the line item and WBS structure & Activities. I am billing the customer by creating a debit memo from DP91.
The billing is POC basis and is done on monthly basis. Thus at the end of each month the customer is billed according to quantities confirmed in DP91. Ultimately the complete project is done and all billing is completed as well.
Now the problem is: sales order line item had 1 quantity, however debit memo created via DP91 had more than 1 quantities and we have created multiple debit memo request w.r.t. a sales order. now the project is completed, but the status of the sales order is stilll "open". what should be the structure of sales order line items so that order is also set as completed when all quantities in PS are billed.
waiting for any kind of supportive information.
thanks.

Hi Robert,
You have 2 questions
1. On DIP
DIP has nothing to do with WBS, though you use WBS as one of teh characteristics in DIP. As per your DIP, many sales orders are created and they are enabled with different material (material determination in DIP). In order to analyse this further, you have to analyse the DIP, which is linked to your item category in VOV7. If not in VOV7, you can see the DIP name in the item level in the sales order. Using this, you can go to PS and there you can see the characteristics, usage and materials configured for this profile. This will give you a lead to find out why multiple items are coming. As per DIP profile, having multiple materials while creating documents in DP91 is expected behaviour.
2. For sales order update, you have to invoice all your billing plans, if your order items are billing plans enabled, (may be MS billing as your system has PS also). If you check this, and invoice all the milestones, then the status will be updated automatically. Before updating the sales order status, you should also close all the WBS elements and the project, which are linked to the sales order (I am not sure about this point, but you can try it in the test system, be have the system of one project per salesorder, may not be the case for you)
If you have any specific questions, pls lemme know.
