Delivery to Draft Invoice

I would like to copy a Delivery to a Draft Invoice using the DI API. I haven't found any "copy to/copy from" functionality in SAPbobsCom (like the GUI has). After it is copied, I will be updating several fields in the Draft Invoice before I save it.
The easiest way I could find right now, is to do a SaveXML on the Delivery, and GetAsXML on the Draft Invoice.
Anyone have other ideas doing this?
Thank you!

Hi Paul,
There are a couple of options for converting a delivery to a draft invoice:
1) As described above you can export the delivery to XML, change the XML (eg by XLST) and then add it back. You may need to change some data in the delivery (eg document date, object type) before loading it back. The XML for a draft document is slightly different to a standard document so you'll need to add the DocObjectCodeEx node to the XML before you load it.
The big benefit of the XML approach is that it can be used to copy all the standard fields and UDFs easily.
2) You can do the same thing through code. Create an instance of the delivery object and retrieve your order using the GetByKey method. Create an instance of a draft document object and then set the properties of the draft object to the values from the delivery. You can step through the lines of the delivery, adding new rows to the draft document as you go. Although there are a large number of fields that make up a marketing document, a lot of them are either not relevant for a delivery or they will default through once you've set the BaseEntry, BaseLine and BaseType values on the row.
The disadvantage with this approach is that it only copies across the fields you've coded and therefore will not automatically copy across UDF values if you add a new UDF field.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Many Delivery Notes / One Invoice

Hi all,
We are a business that sends out many truckloads of product, and need to send a separate delivery note with each truck, but we want to send the client only one invoice for this. At the moment the system produces multiple invoices. What is the easiest way to consolidate those invoices into a single invoice?
Cheers,

Hi Nick.......
You might be doing Copy To option from Delivery to Invoice. In such case for one delivery only one invoice will will be created. So for multiple deliveries multiple invoices will be created.
But If you use Copy From Option then you can create One Invoice against multiple Deliveries.
Juts Open AR Invoice Directly select Customer and then press the Copy From Button and then it will give the list of delivery doc and just press Ctrl and select the deliveries one by one against which you want only one invoice......
This will solve your problem.......

Draft invoice and payment terms

A customer has 30 day credit terms (for example), but when creating a DRAFT invoice the docuemnt date, posting date and due date defaults to todays date.
When converting the draft invoice to an INVOICE, the due date remains as today - not the payment terms of 30 days from posting date.
How can the payment terms be activated to ensure correct aging of the invoice?
2005A PL23

The 'due date' appears as soon as the Customer is selected in Invoice not while saving as 'Draft'. The due date is based on the 'Payment Terms' set in the 'BP Master Data'.
I request you to check if the 'Due Date' is set properly before saving the document as draft. It should be as per the payment Terms of the BP. If not check the Payment Terms of the BP.
I have checked this feature with SAP B1 2005B PL: 38 and works properly.

Problem with PRC Generate Draft Invoice

Hi
PRC Generate Draft invoice does not generate an invoice for select customers. Receive the "No Eligible Expenditures or Events"
message - however there is a valid manual billing event created. Validated
that all prerequisite information has been completed - project setup, agreement
funded, budget baselined, amount within customer credit limit, customer active,
etc. This process works fine for some customers but not others - it does
appear to be customer specific, not project specific.
Performed the following steps:
1) Created manual billing event - bill amount populated ONLY
2) Ran PRC:Generate Revenue for a Single Project - no revenue since bill amount only
on event
3) Ran PRC: Generate Revenue Accounting Events - no revenue event since bill amount only
4) Ran PRC:Create Accounting - no accounting transactions created since no revenue generated - bill event only
5) Ran PRC:Generate Draft Invoice for a Single Project - ran this individually for
each project.
For the customer thats working we get the below in the log file :-
...Checking Number of Customers#1
... Checking for Number of Active Bill Customers #1
... Checking for Number of Active Ship to Customers#1
... Checking Number of Active Customers#1
Going to check relation()

Can someone throw some light.

Hello,
You can check the things below :
1. Check the Hard Limit. The hard limit setting may be preventing the invoice from
being generated. To check this,
1. Navigate to Billing -> Agreements.
2. Query the agreement for the customer and project you are having
difficulties with.
3. If the HARD LIMIT box is checked this could prevent the invoice from
generating. Uncheck the HARD LIMIT setting.
4. Save your changes.
5. Resubmit the PRC: Generate Draft Invoices process.
2. If Customer on Top task, then check whether the 'Ready to Bill' for the specific Top Task in the Control Billing by Top Task window.
Thanks,

Delivery Date in Invoice Form

Hello, has anybody an idea how to print the Date of the delivery in the invoice? This is necessary in germany. I did´t find an variable in INV1 or in OINV. Am i blind again, or must i create an userfield in the Invoice?
thanks

Hi Andre!
It's not so difficult to implement your task.
1. write an query to retrieve ShipDate from Delivery
it could be like following lines:
[code]     IF $[INV1.BaseType] = 15
          BEGIN
               SELECT
                    T0.DocDueDate -- <i>or T0.DocDate</i>
               FROM
                    ODLN T0
               WHERE
                    T0.DocEntry = $[INV1.BaseEntry]
          END
     ELSE
          BEGIN
               SELECT $[OINV.DocDate]
          END[/code]2. Create UDF for Invoice matrix
3. Link the Query to that field (autoexecuting on ItemCode column)
That's it!
Hope it'll help..

Change Picking data, then call Delivery Note and Invoice in the background

I have designed a GUI where the picking data (from table LIPS) is changed. Now my SD consultant wants the program, when a SAVE or CONTINUE button is clicked, to do the Delivery Note and Invoice in the background.
To quote:
Your progrm must change the values in the delivery in txn VL02n, when the delivery is saved it updates LIKP and LIPS amongst othr tables. When the invoice / billing doc is created it is done with ref to the delivery. Billing doc created using txn VF01, the main tables of the billing doc are VBRK (header) and VBRP (item). And for completion sake, tables VBAK and VBAP are the sales order tables!
In my PAI module, how do I do the calling of these two functions?
The consultant suggested I use a BDC. Why can't I use Call Transaction.... ? What is the best way to do this?
At the moment, my SAVE button updates an internal table of LIPS, and for test purposes it exits to List Processing to test if the amounts changed correctly.
Hope someone can help.

Hi
Ok.
Do you mean "Accual GI Date" in Item overview ?
I have performed a test. When I check "Goods Issue delivery" indeed it has posting date in the past.
Now for the invoice:
I set
"Billing date"
"Serv. rendered" date
and "Prining date" in the past.
Would it be enough to post everything in the last month ?

Rafal

Dear Sameer
As per your requirement run the Tcode VF04 (Billing Due list) and select the Delivery Documents for which you want to to have single Billing Document by clicking on Collective Billing document/Online Push Button in that screen.
To Have Single Billing Document for Multiple Delivery you need to have Payer,Terms of Payment,Incoterms(part 1 and part2) same for all materials orelse the billing document will split and this split analysis is visible during creating of Billing document.
Hope this will help you in solving your problem.

HI Experts,
whenever the validity date of outline agreement is expired and there is a PO created with ref to the same Outline Agreement, the system does not allow to flag for the final delivery or final invoice for the PO, so that there can no further processing for the PO.
We just want only to close the PO (by setting flag final delivery or final invoice).
Please advice
