POD Relevance

Hi there,
Can anyone help. We want to use the POD relevance button in Customer Master to initiate a "marker" to generate a secondary invoice. To do this we would like the POD relevance to come through on the sales order from the customer master. We would like the customer master to be the main control, however there is a business requirement to manage exceptions and post the POD relevance on individual sales orders also where relevant.
Where is the config to check the link between the customer master and Sales order? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I am an FI/CO so SD is not my area.
When the POD flag is enabled - we will not want this to restrict any further processing for POD relevance.
Hope this is clear.
Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks
Jackie

Hi there,
POD is updated in table VBKD-PODKZ. To default the POD from customer master, you will need to write a code in MV45AFZZ,
INCLUDE MV45AF0K_KVBKD_GET_DATA & INCLUDE MV45AF0K_KVBKD_PUT_DATA. In the code put a logic to default the PO into VBKD-PODKZ from the ship-to partner from VBPA.

POD relevance issue

Hi All,
We have faced a issue that PODREL field in LIPS table is A(Relevant for POD) for 2line item out of 5 line item but delivery is not relevant for POD relevance. We are not able to open this delivery through t.code VLPODA as system is giving error that this delivery is not relevant for POD.
System split the invoice based on this PODREL field as A(POD is one of the criterion for invoice split).
I have three issue here
1. How is this possible that 2 line items are POD relevant but delivery is not POD relevant.
2. How can i deactivate this POD relevant indicator against PODREL field in delivery.
3. where can i find this PODREL field in delivery document.
Thanks in advance
Jitendra Singh

Hi Sridhar,

Waiting your reply in this regard

POD Relevancy field on BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Hi,...
Is there a field in BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 for POD Relevancy (VBKD-PODKZ)? I already check the bapi doc and cannot find it.
if not then is there a good way to update this field (POD Relevancy)?
thanks
========================
Sorry for very late delay of respond. Just to give you info, I solved it by using bdc. After discussion, we believe that it is the more secure way than updating directly to the table. At least in my case it's working. Thanks for your reply I rally appreciate it

Hi,
Try FM 'VS_BT_VBKD_MODIFY' to modify the table VBKD.
OR
try the FM 'J_1B_SD_SA_VBKD_COPY'.

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,

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.

Item is not relevant for Billing-VF 044

Hello Experts,
I have the scenario where i am doing Return Process.Here i have done it through scratch as in set the copy control for LR to RE ,with item category REN.
The entire process was running fine till Post Goods Reciept.
But when i am billing the same it says:-- Item is not relevant for Billing
I have done the following :-
VOV7-REN-Check-Business Item
Check-Credit Active
Billing Relavance--A
Pricing-X
Kindly guide where i am missing anything.
Regards
Swati Bhatt

Hi,
I assumed you have thoroughly checked all the configuration is complete it as suggested by other consultants.
In addition to the above, you may want to check if your item category is relevant for POD. If yes, and the POD is not completed, then it would not be possible to create billing document when it is not completed.
You may also want to check in your delivery document overall status of the Delivery document: Go To --> Delivery Header --> Processing. Check the overall status whether it has met all the required status and what other status has not been fulfilled that prevented the Billing doc creation.
Ideally, the standard system would not have POD relevance for return item, but it may have been configured by other individuals.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

SNC kept receiving Non POD-related update from our R/3 system.

Hi Nikhil and others,
It seems our old problem below still exist.
Background Process: Supplier will send ASN (advanceShpNotification) to us from SNC via IDOC (DESADV) to create an inbound delivery (IB) in our R/3. If the vendor is POD-related (i.e. maintained as POD in vendor master), then R/3 will only insert ouput type OP0D into the Output delivery table automatically upon IB creation. At this point, our R/3 has a build-in routine to stop sending IDOC (STPPOD) to SNC before GR. Only after GR is performed, the the IDOC (STPPOD) is triggered and send the POD notices to SNC.
Problem/Question: Everything works fine in QAS client, however, problem arised in production in which SNC is receiving POD updates from our R/3 of IB with vendors that ARE NOT POD-related. Now, the OP0D output type get insert into IB even with vendor that is NOT POD-related (i.e. not maintain in vendor master). WHY? I suspect is the OPOD problem, but this never happen in QAS. Why? The configuration setup are matched on both client, Why?
The following is our setup for WE20:
Partner: PI Production Client
Partner Type: LS
1 - PORDCR1
2 - PROACT
3 - STPPOD (Transfer IDOC immediately ==> Checked, Output mode 2, Basic Type: Delvry03, message control is OP0D for Message type and Process mode, E1 is the application value.
Partner: SNC production Client
Partner Type: LS
1 - DESADV
2 - ORDRSP
3 - WHSCON.
The following is our setup for MN24:
Delivery Type ==> "EL", Funct ==>"VN", Partner ==> empty , Medium = A, Date/Time = 4, Language = EN.... thanks tuffy

Hi Tuffy,
The OPOD gets inserted in Inbound Delivery depending on the setting maintained in MN24.
Please, check what is the setting maintained for EL. If no partner is mentioned, the output message would be inserted for all Vendors but the STPPOD would only be generated for vendors which are POD relevant and for which Partner Profile is maintained.

Sandeep

POD(Prof Of Delivery) need to be compleated after Commercial Invoice

HI all,
     As per SAP standard the POD (prof of delivery) will be created after PGI of the delivery and before creation of Commercial Invoice , but here client requirement is that after Creation of Commorcial Invoice POD need to be created ,after that shippmentcost need to be settled to the service agent through shippmentcost document based on the POD (Prof of Delivery) , so can you please Suggest the solution for this.
                                                                        Your's
                                                                 Murali Mohan.T

Hi,
Sending you the procedure to help you customize your POD.
Use
You can set your system so that if there are differences between the quantity that was actually
delivered and the quantity in the shipping notification, the system automatically sends a message
with preset standard reasons to the vendor at goods receipt.
Prerequisites
If you want to use automatic creation and processing of quantity differences for certain delivery
item categories, you must first make the following settings in the Logistics Execution section of
the Implementation Guide (IMG):
1. Mark the desired delivery item category as Relevant for POD. Then set the Level of
Automation for the POD for Inbound Deliveries for the delivery item category to Fullyautomated
POD processing (V). Use the Set POD-Relevance Depending on Delivery
Item Category [Ext.] activity for this step.
If you set the POD relevance to Copy POD relevance from preceding
document (V), the POD relevance from the preceding document is copied into the
current one. In this case, you can use the Set Up Confirmation Control [Ext.] activity
to check your POD control settings for the corresponding Confirmation control key.
Also use the Define Order Confirmations for Inbound Deliveries [Ext.] activity to make sure that the confirmation control key has an entry for the combination of Purchasing document category, Order type, Plant and Storage location.
2. Make sure that you have defined at least one Standard reason for both overdelivery and underdelivery. Define the type of Quantity calculation for the standard reasons.
Use the Define Reasons for Quantity Differences [Ext.] activity for this step.
When you process inbound deliveries, if quantity differences occur, the system will report
the standard reason with the corresponding quantity difference to your vendor.
3. Refer to the vendor master to check that the POD-relevant (A or B) indicator is set in the Control area of the reference data for the corresponding vendors.
Procedure
1. From inbound delivery [Ext.], choose Inbound Delivery    Change   Single Document.
The Change Inbound Delivery screen appears.
2. Enter the number of the inbound delivery you want to change or select it by using a
matchcode.
From the Goto menu on this screen, you can call up a specific view of the inbound
delivery and make changes there.
3. Choose Enter.
The overview screen that you chose appears.
4. Change the delivery quantity to the actual quantity that was received.
Regards,
Siddharth.

Goods consumption document posting date should be same as POD confirmation

Hi friends,
The scenario is like this --- The delivery is POD relevant, after delivery consignment lending happens {movement type 631}, then GI is done. But, only after POD confirmation this GI document comes into this document flow and it can be seen as goods consumption document {movement tyep 902} in the document flow.
Now, user's problem is with the goods consumption document posting date.
In VLPOD overview screen, actual goods movement date is 02.01.2008 and customer has sent the user a confirmation of delivery on 02.01.2008 itself. But, user has updated this VLPOD on today's date ie. 18.01.2008 and user has kept the POD date as 02.01.2008 itself {backdated POD date}. Now, after POD confirmation, goods cosumption document is created. But, system is showing the posting date of this docuement as todays date ie. 18.01.2008. But, user requirement is that system should copy the POD confirmation date into the goods cosumption document posting date. So, how can this be achieved ? can be done with some customization setting or user exit is the only option ???
Await your kind feedback....
Hrishikesh

Hi
As per my understanding the system is working as per the client's requirement-which says.,
"user requirement is that system should copy the POD confirmation date into the goods cosumption document posting date"
Since the POD confirmation date is entered as 18.01, the system has taken 18.01 as the goods consumption posting date.
If possible, please try that with different dates of POD confirmation.
Thanks,
Ravi

How to make Delivery Item Relevant for Proof of Delivery

Hi,
How is it possible to make the Delivery Item relevant for Proof of Delivery (POD). What are the configuration settings required?
Regards,
Priyanka.

Hi Priyanka,
Following is the method to make Delivery Item Relevant for Proof of Delivery:
1. SPRO --> Logistics Execution --> Shipping --> Deliveries --> Proof of delivery
a.Set POD-Relevance Depending on Delivery Item Category
(In this activity, you can set the proof of delivery (POD) relevance depending on the delivery item category.)
Put (X) Relevant for POD, for the relevent Item Categories
b.Define Reasons for Quantity Differences
(Define how the quantity is to be calculated (add or subtract the difference quantity, depending on whether you are dealing with an overdelivery or an underdelivery for eg. due to damage during transport).
2. Set the Relevant for POD indicator on the Shipping tab page of the customer with whom you would like to carry out POD-processing.
Hope it helps.

How switch off Order Responce in MM-SUS

Hello everyone,
I was checking the documentation about MM-SUS and it always says that Order Response can be optional; however, when I send a PO from R/3 to SUS is always needed.
Vendors have to confirm the PO in order to create the ASN.
I tried changing the inforecord, if field "Ackn.Rqd" is not selected, I can't create any follow-on document (POR and ASN) in SUS, but if I select it and field "Conf.Ctrl" has the value "0004" (only ASN), the inbound idoc gets a error (error 51). So, only the combination "Ackn.Rqd" selected and "Conf.Ctrl" with value "0001" (Confirmation and ASN) is working correctly.
How can be the Order Response optional?
Thanks,
Ivá

Hi,
Logon to your backend system and go to the path SPRO > MM> Purchasing --> Confirmations -->Setup confirmation control key.
You will have 0001 and also 0004. This will have things like create inbouddelivery, POD relevant and all.
Findout the entries in both by selecting the confirmation sequence, here you should two entries one for Order response(AB) and other for ASN ( LA) to have both active in your system.
What is the error in your idoc with the status 51?
Is it something like "orderacknowledgment AB not found".
Then you dont have AB for this key 0004.
Best regards,
Sridhar.

How to intimate customer about date of receipt of goods

Dear Experts,
When we do delivery and PGI we want the system to automatically intimate customer about the date on which the goods are reaching him. Can this be done through standard configurations ? If yes then please let me know how. If any new programme to be developed please explain.
Thanking in anticipation,
Regards,
Randhir

Hi Randhir,
You should do config. for the VLPOD t-code (proof of delivery doc ).
Firstly, you should go to path of LO >> Shipping >> deliveries >> Proof of delivery >> Set POD-Relevance Depending on Delivery Item Category and you should you should maintain X for POD-relevant, maintain V Fully-Automated POD Processing
Fully-Automated POD Processing in that screen.
Additionally, you should set the POD relevant screen from the customer sales are data shipping tab in customer master from xd02.
After all, you can create automatic e-mail with new POD output condition and type from NACE t-code in order to achieve it via mail ,use the medium 5, and for periodic job, should be 1 for dispatch time.
I hope these will be very useful for you.
Thanks,

Typically for STPPOD Idocs, the NACE and WE20 Settings are maintained at Vendor Level. Try changing your settings and see if it works.
