F8 proforma invoice automatically created, after PGI

After completing PGI, business wants to take a printout of proforma invoice F8 automatically. How to do this?
The truck driver shall take this invoice to the SH To address. Give him 1 copy and get another signed copy back.
Please help, thank you in advance!

From this link, below post is the best answer -
Proforma Invoice F8 automatic creation
Two questions -
1. Is it functional consultant's job or technical consultant / ABAPer's job to do - to setup a Batch job for the Proforma invoice with the Program SDBILLDL in the transaction code SM36?
2. Below indicates that when delivery is created then - via program running in batch - Proforma shall be created, but my business requirement is upon PGI, how to handle this?
Thank you!

Hi,
You need to setup a Batch job for the Proforma invoice with the Program SDBILLDL in the transaction code SM36.
Goto the Transaction code SM36 and setp a job with the program SDBILLDL , then it will fetch all the Deliveries which are pending for the Billing of proforma.
And in the Transaction code NACE create a output type and assign the Print program and the smartform to the output type .
Create the print program in SE38 and the Smartform in the transaction code SMARTFORMS with the help of ABAPers
Assign this Output to the Output determination procedure .
Now maintain the condition records for the Pfororma billing document F8 and the sales organisation
In the condition records maintain the Medium as PRINT OUTPUT
and the Despatch mode as the 4 ( process the output once the document was saved).
Now once the Delivery was created, the batch job will fetch the delivery and create the proforma invoice and then the output which was created in the NACE will trigger automatically and process.
Once it was process, Spool will generate and simltaneously the output request and the invoice will send to the printer maintained in the condition records.
Please do the above steps and revert back if u find any issue in doing.

santosh

Automatic billing after PGI

Dear Friends,
I want the billing to be generated automatically after clicking PGI (not after saving the delivery).
How can this be achieved?
Thanks & Regards
Ratna Kumar

Hi,
You can use the BAPI for the same to create the invoice after PGI. I think you can use BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE. You need to take help of the ABAPer who will be able to pass on the right parameteres into this BAPI so that the invoices get created when PGI is done.
Also, you can try with BAPI: BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE
I have attached a couple of links which may help you and your technical person to resolve this issue.
Call BAPI to Create Invoice During PGI(VL01N) via BADI

Hope this helps.

How to set up in SAP to have automatic billing after PGI

Hi Gurus,
In our business, majority of sales transactions need to do billing Immediately after PGI. I would like to know how to Configur in SAP to
have automatic billing after PGI.
I would like to know if such change can be made per Plant, or per Material
Group.
Sunny.

Hi,
As far as I know, you may need to schedule the VF04 billing due list to run in the background at regular interval like for example every 30minutes.
Someone proposed other one. See the link for details [Automatic Billing after PGI|http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-sd/automatic-billing-after-pgi-1088056#]

Proforma invoice is created for delivery without PGI in STO(Depot sales)

Dear Gurus,
I am facing a strange issue, user created Purchase order with some material X of 4 quantity, and he created the replenishment delivery for 1 quantity and without doing any Picking and PGI but system allowed to create proforma invoice with 4 quantity I checked the copy control config settings for Delivery and Proforma invoice all are maintained fine (viz., billing qty as D, copying req:311 and Data VBRK\VBRP:001)( Ichecked the change log for delivery but I didnt observed any chanes in delivery) .. strange to watch ........created the same scenario in quality but system doesnt allowed to create proforma invoice without PGI and picking(Just one month before quality is refreshed with Production).
If anyone faced the same problem let me konw the solution ate the earliest.
Best Regards,
Kishore.SGR

Hi
As already said, as per the standard the Performa Invoice do not check the Goods Issue status of a Delivery since it uses the Copying Requirement 009 in transaction VTFL.
If you want your performa invoice to be created only after the PGI of a delivery, then use the Requirement 003 in Copying Requirement field for the combination of your Delivery Doc. and Billing doc. in transaction VTFL at Header level.

In STO(stock transfer)proforma invoice is done without PGI.

Hi
experts,
in our system for stock transfer (STO) PROFORMA INVOICE is done without POST GOODS ISSUE.
I want to make compulary PGI AND THEN PROFORMA INVOICE.(DELIVERY-PGI-PERFORMA INVOICE)
is there any USER EXIT OR BADI.
THANKS
AJAY.

Hi,
goto VTFL select Delivery type to Billing type to which you want PGI should be Checked before Invoice
Goto Header detail and change the Copying requirements as 311.
Hi , I have tested again in my system , It is working fine with Routine 311 - Copying requirements at item level (VTFL) , while creating invoice you will get log info saying document has allready been created, so check again once..
Ex : Copy controls (VTFL) = F8 to LF , Item category TAN (Standard) assign 311 To Item category.

Excise Invoice automatically created during STO Billing

Hi all,
During creating of billing documents in VF01 for STO invoice, the excise invoice is also created simultaneously without manual creation. Normally excise invoice are created seperately by
giving the billing document reference no.through J1IIN. Suddenly, the excise invoice has also
been created in VF01 itself. Can anybody explain what may be the reason and how to restore
to manual transaction process of creating excise invoice.
Thanks & Regards,
Sadashivan

Hi,
Check the Excise Group settings which you are using for your STO transaction .
SPRO -- Log gen--Tax on goods movement - India Basic settings --Maintain Excise Groups
Here for your Excise group check whether You have selected Excise inv during billing for Outgoing excise invoice.
If there then system will create automatically Excise invoice during Billing document creation,

This explanation is not in detail and hence I am not clear about your configuration settings.
First go to IMG Logistics-General => Tax on Goods Movements => India => Business Transactions => Outgoing Excise Invoices => Assign Billing Types to Delivery Types.
There ensure that you have assigned the billing type JEX (assuming that you are using the standard) to your delivery type NL.
Perhaps, you can also try with "D" for your item category in Billing Relevance field but I am not sure this will solve your issue. Try in development client.

Proforma invoice (F5) creates accounting document

We have an issue with Proforma invoices creating accounting documents. I did some research here and it seems that it is an unexpected behavior for a proforma invoice, but I couldn't find any information about what exactly is preventing them from creating accounting documents.
Could anyone point me in the right direction where this might be configured? Unfortunately, I'm mostly an ABAPer and am not that familiar with SD config. I did find the transaction VOFA though and checked the settings for F5 there. It seems odd that 'Posting block' checkbox is unchecked. Is it supposed to be checked or are there any other fields that would influence the creation for accounting documents?
Thank you.

I checked the fileds, as suggested. F5 has the following settings:
SD document category = 'U'
Transaction group = 8
all the fields in Cancellation and Account Assignment are blank
some fields are set up in Output parameters (I don't think they have anything to do with this)
both Posting Block and Statistics are currently not checked
It seems that Statistics checkbox only influences the creation of statistical records (i.e. population of LIS/SIS structures).
What is interesting though is that Document Type field is blank for F5 and for other invoice types (e.g. F2 or FV, which we are also using)...
Is there another area in SPRO where the connection between SD and FI could be configured? I've also looked at the Copying Requirements, but there is nothing for Billing to Accounting...

Tax Condition record automatically created after Excise Invoice creation

Hello,
Excise Document for the export has been created in the J1iin then in the back ground the condition record for the ja1x has been created with key combination reference doc( Delivery no)/ item no.
Please help to know, which configuration setting causes this condition record creation and can we avoid this..
regards
SB

Moved from SAP ERP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) to Internationalization and Unicode. Please post all your CIN related queries here.
Coming to the issue, in normal circumstances, this will never happen unless some exit is triggering. Check whether J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE is validating like that

Restricting Changes in Delivery after proforma invoice is generated

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i would like to restrict certain changes in delivery document for which proforma invoice is created so that the final invoice remains in line with the proforma invoice.
for. example. change in item quantity, adding another items etc.
is there any configuration settings for the same?

Hello,
When do you create Proforma Invoice? After PGI or before PGI.
If you are creating Proforma after PGi then there is no issue as Delivery Cannot be changed after PGI.
If you are issuing Proforma Invoice before PGI then you will have to go for a Z-Development as there is nothing available in SAP Standard to fulfill your requirement.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

How to create Proforma Invoice using Quotation?

Hi friends,
I want to create the proforma Invoice with reference to the Quotation.
I have done conifguration as follow,
IMG-Sales and Distribution-Sales--Billing-Maintain copying control for Billing Documents---Copying control,sales document to billing document ( here TGT is ZF5 and Source is QT) Copying requirement is 007
When I am trying to create ZF5 document with transaction code VF01 I am getting the following error,
No billing document is generated and processing status is Incorrect
What is the reason?
Need your help.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Shrikant

Hi Srikant
Proforma Invoice is created either with reference to the Sales order or with reference to the Delivery doc.
If it is created from sales order, it is order related Proforma invoice will call(F5) and if it is from delivery, it is called delivery related Proforma invoice (F8).
I do not think, you will be able to create a Proforma Invoice with reference to the Quotation.Quotation is still an information & not yet agreed by the customer
Moeover ,If you will go to the Item categoryin Quotation (AGN) , transaction code VOV7, you will find it is not relevant for Billing.
So, I think it is not possible.

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.

Proforma Invoice _ Excise Invoice created.

Hi SD Experts,
An Excise Invoice was created with reference to a Proforma Invoice. Modvat was also utilized. As we know, the Proforma invoice will not hit any accounting. But I want to post the customer account. How can this be achieved? Or let me know the alternatives.
-K.Bharathi-

Hi,
As understand from your question, proforma invoice is created only in the following cases-
1. In Stock Transfer (Intra Company)
2. Sample sale
3. Consignment
4. Exports
in the above cases, you will not charge any excise amounts to customer and in case u need to charge to customer then check two process -
a. Instead of Proforma define commercial invoice(F2) then followed by excise invoice - best business practice
b. If you want Proforma is required for some business requirement then create proforma invoice followed by excise invoice then pass JV through finance for excise entry in customer accounts - this is not a good practice

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.

Proforma Invoice for Contracts in CRM

Hi,
We have a setup where we print invoice documents from the billing document of the contract.
Now the requirement is to print the proforma invoice for the contract without doing the actual billing in the system.
How can we do this. I found that there can be a billing type with Proforma invoice type however we cant assign it to the existing billing item category.
Regards,
PP

Hi Pepe,
I have don some investigation on my side and came accross below informations:
In standard the Bill Category PROFORMA is used in two scenarios
mentioned below:
1)The Intracompany Stock Transfer process in order to create a Proforma
Invoice for crossing border requirements.
2)The Supplementary Invoice process where an additional Invoice has to
be created which is not relevant for Accounting.
In CRM Billing it is not possible to create a normal customer invoice
for the same sales order item once the Proforma invoice is created.
This is because only one billing item category can be assigned to a
source document type/item category.
To achieve your requirement you can follow this solution, as you say
there are only a few customers who request for a proforma kind of an
invoice,
1)Create a regular customer invoice and block it for the transfer
process to accounting(By setting the transfer block for the bill_type)
2)Handle this customer Invoice as a proforma Invoice and print it (i.e.
as a crossing border document) 3)When the
Customer Invoice has to be actually sent out to the customer after a
sign off from the customer then the same invoice can be transfered to
accounting
(Use Tx-/BEA/CRMB12)
Or in case if any correction is required in the invoice, then cancel
and re-bill after correction.
I hope this information is useful.In case of any further queries
regarding the same pelase revert else do confirm the message.
