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

Material Management in Freight Forwarding business

Hi Experts,
How we manage materials in freight forwarding business? ( As a forwarding agent, if we are moving containers from one location to other & charging Customers for the Service provided )
My doubts / Que :-
1. In this 3PL process, multiple parties are involved
( e.g Company A - Picks up the goods from Customers Factory by providing their trucks till nearest Port
Company B - Shipping Company will deliver the Containers to destination port
Company C - Collects the Goods & delivers at designated location by providing their trucks.
How will monitor the complete process in our SAP system? As multiple PO will be created for Company A, B & C? & will settle their invoices after completion of their service. But for our Customer will be charging single invoice based on all these cost incurred.
2. Do we have to manage all these materials in our SAP system, if we are also providing warehousing solution to our Customer? As in this case, the inventory is our Customers asset. Do we have to valuate this material??
Could you please provide your valuable comments.
Regards,
Julie

Hi,
Your requirement will be fulfilled using transportation management. Based on the customer order and delivery, you have to pack the materials and this will be adjusted thrugh shipment by loading and shipment.
Delivery components will be seggregated accordingly and charged to the customer.
You can get the different invoices from suppliers.
One invoice to the customer which includes shipment cost.

Wrong frieght value in Proforma Invoice

Hi,
When Freight is calculated in the SO, the same is not copied into the Proforma Invoices (F8) but the correct value is copied to commerical invoice. this is happening for only particular item for rest of the items it is getting copied correctly.
Is there any SAP Notes for this ?
Regards,
Kiran

Hi rao vc!
System combines both deliveries in to one invoice, based on your customising setting in the copy control from delivery to proforma invoice.If u do not want those to be combined then change your copy control.Tcode: VTFL( DElivery to invoice)
In your second case if u are having two line item in your invoice then the total value has been shown at header level. This is standard process. If you split your invoice then this will be sorted out.

Proforma Invoice for down payment

hi,
please what is meant by proforma invoice for down payment and steps for that please help me.
Thanking you,
Madhu

H,
An invoice that is created on paper for exported goods to provide the customs authorities with evidence of the cost of the goods.
When you deal in export, you may need to print pro forma invoices. They are used to give the importer or the responsible authorities in the import country details about forthcoming shipments.
A pro forma invoice appears exactly the same as a customer invoice. The difference is that this invoice does not need to be paid. Therefore, the system does not forward data to Financial Accounting (FI). No statistical data is created on the basis of pro forma invoices.

Foreign Trade for Freight Forwarding Agents within USA

My client uses foreign trade to export materials from US to outside countries.
I've done all necessary configurations by going through the SAP documentation on Foreign Trade.   It works perfect with key combination of Sales Organization + Bill-to party (where Bill-to party's country is outside USA.
But it does NOT work when we create a condition table with key combination of Sales Organization + Ship-to Party (where ship-to party country is USA).
Material Master (Export Foreign Trade) has already been setup with appropriate commodity codes.
We send customs invoice (boarder broker document) to Freight Forwarding agent (Ship-to Party) whose address is within USA.   And they then take responsibility to export the material to outside USA.
Problem-1: During Delivery creation, the system automatically copies the FT information from MM when the Ship-to Party's country code is outside USA. But NOT for Ship-to Party's country code within USA.
Problem-2: Customs condition table on key combination Sales Organization + Ship-to does NOT work during creation of billing document (VF01 or VF04).   We need this custom so the custom invoice to print automatically using the custom output type.
Need your help.   Please respond ASAP. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Nevill.

Partner Function for Freight Forwarder

Dear Guru's ,
I need to assign the Freight Vendor to the Freight Condition type in PO ( Pricing Procedure ) for all line items at once .
I have created the Pricing procedure with Gross Price , Freight charges , Custom duty and other charges . i have to raise the invoice for Gross price (Net price ) to Material Vendor and Freight charges , Custom duty , other charges to separate Freight vendor .
I am fetching the Condition type through condition record based on material / Purchase Organisation combination . I have to assign the same freight vendor to Freight charges , Custom duty , other charges for all the materials (all the line items) - Its not allowing to change the vendor in details of condition type at header level.
I tried with the Partner Function - Freight Forwarder but its not reflecting to the Freight condition type . Guide me to achieve this scenario .
regards
Anand

Hi, Partner function will not help in case of Imports, Maintain Access sequence LF01 for all the condition you want separate vendor through M/06,Then in MEK1 maintain the combination of Condition, Vendor, w.r.t Purch. organization, then try.

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.

Requirement of invoice list in case of a proforma invoice generation.

Dear Experts,
I have a case where the customer is indulged with the export sales & he had delivered the excisable goods to his customer (or we can also consider it under STO as one of the above case) & wants to arise a proforma invoice in context to this transaction with the delivery document being taken as the reference document in the billing screen VF01; where, as I have already mentioned that the PGI has been done. Now the problem is this that the billing document is not getting generated with an information log that, '_The invoice list cannot be determined_'. Now I am not able to understand that why this is happening? This was the delivery related with a single line item.
I went for changing the billing relevance field at VOV7 from 'A' to 'J' & even tried by changing the copying requirement from '010' to '311' at VTFL, from LF to F8 (as this is normally followed during the issue of free samples & subseqyent free of charge deliveries); but was not able to get the required output.
What to do? Kindly assist.
With regards,
M.S.Kumar.

1) The document flow is like this that between the two plants for e.g. 1000 & 1100 under the same company code the stock transfer needs to take place.
2) Plant 1000 is devoid of the required amount of stock, hence it raised an enquiry for the aforesaid amount of stock with plant 1100
3) Plant 1100 confirmed the availability of stock
4) Plant 1000 raised a purchase order with plant 1100
5) Plant 1100 raised the sales order for the required quantity of stock with plant 1000, & has done the PGI under delivery.
6) Now the plant 1100 wants to raise one proforma invoice with respect to the delivery of goods being done to the corresponding plant 1000 & one commercial invoice for the payments to be made.
7) The processing from raising the purchase order to the delivery of the goods to the respective plant has already being performed.
8) At the moment of creating the proforma invoice with billing type F8, the system is throwing an error message that it is not able to generate the billing document because of the reason that the invoice list date cannot be determined.
or else in the other way, in simple manner what needs to be done when simply the billing document is not getting generated in context to a delivery document because of the reason that the invoice list date could not be determined. Does this have to do anything with the POD time frame or the pricing conditions being defined under the pricing procedure which has not been followed upon while processing the sales order?

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,

Murali.

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.

Zero Qty line elimination in Stock Transfer Proforma Invoice

Hello all,
We are making Stock Transfer Order between two plants within the same co code (ME21N). We are having automatic bacth determination at delivery level (VL10B). Automatic batch determination generates one header line without qty and others with qty. During Proforma invoice creation, all the rows (including zero qty row of header level batch) from delivery are getting copied into the proforma invoice. I want the system to copy only those rows having qty greater than zero from delivery in to proforma invoice.
In case of normal sales invoice this problem is not occuring.
I need your advice on the above mentioned problem.
Thanks in advance.

hi ,

Proforma invoice list

Hi,
where we can get the list of all the proforma invoice that generated for a particular period ?
In vf05 i am giving the billing type f5 but no data are coming.
Thankx in advance.
Regards,
Satya

Dear Satya
You cant generate proformas in VF05. You have to run SE16, input Table VBRK for Header related datas and VBRP for Item related datas and execute.
If this is going to be the permanent requirement, you can develop a zee report with the help of ABAPer fulfilling the requirement.
thanks
