Using Proforma Invoices on MM side

Hi,
I've heard of proforma invoices being used on the SD side but we are looking into seeing if proforma invoices can be used also on the MM side as well.
Business need:
During tax audits, the auditors ask to see a "proof of sale" document for intercompany movement of materials (delivery, STO from one plant to another, goods issue doc). The business process doesn't involve any external sale but an intercompany "sale" (movement of materials within the company).
We were wondering if proforma invoice could be also used on the MM side so that we can show auditors that the intercompany sale took place. I am wondering if any other companies run into this kind of audit issue for goods issue process (some times just showing them SAP data from tables is not enough "proof").
Thanks.

Proforma invoice for Service Contracts

Hello,
I know the invoice types F5 for order related proforma and F8 for delivery related invoice. Now I'm looking for possibilities to create a proforma invoice based on a Service contract (Order Type WV) as a periodical invoiced sales order.
I tried to use proforma invoice (type F5) with Service contract but the billing plan will be set on status C (completely processed) so that the same period can not be invoiced again with the real commercial invoice. The billing status in the sales order has been changed as well with the proforma, which should not be the case as the proforma should just generate a printout.
Does SAP offer anything or how can I setup customizing to be able to create proforma for periodical sales orders?
Kind regards
Rafael

Hello,
Thank's for the information.
Finally I tried to copy our existing invoice type and set it up like F5 but the problem is still that the billing plan periods are set to status C - completely processed. The accounting side is OK as no accounting document is being created.
But with this billing plan situation it would not be possible to create first the proforma invoice for one Period and then later create the real commercial invoice for the same period.
Any ideas what I can setup to avoid this problem? I thought of chancelling the proforma after creation so that the billing period will be opened again, but this is no user friendly or professional solution.
Thank's in advance for your ideas.
Kind regards
Rafael

A/R reserve Invoice as Proforma Invoice

Hi experts,
I have one doubt in A/R reserve invoice. My Client is using Proforma invoice. They will send this Proforma invoice to their customer to get get Confirmation about the Invoice. Once their Customer, confirms that proforma invoice, Our client will prepare the Original A/R Invoice. This flow is done manualy.
when i map this flow in B1, i cant create A/R invoice after posting the A/R reserve invoice having SO as base document. I can only create Delivery & A/R credit memo. More over when i was trying to create A/R Invoice by selecting the that Specific SO as base document. I can find that SO.
Can you help how to map this flow in SAP B1.
With thanks

The Reserve Invoice is mainly created when you do not want to reduce inventory but be able to create an Invoice so that you can receive money against it.
It does not change inventory quantities.
Let us say you have a Sales Order for Rs.1000 and you business policy is to take 50% advance.. You can create a Reserve Invoice for Rs.500 and then process an Incoming payment.
When the order is completed..Copy the SO to Delivery..AR Invoice..and on the AR Invoice screen adjust for the advance by linking the Reserve Invoice..

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.

Proforma Invoice - Partial Amount. Is it possible ?

Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 3:21 pm Post subject: Proforma Invoice - Partial Amount. Is it possible ?
Hi,
Here is our scenario.
We create sales order for very large Roofing jobs. Sales order will have 1 or 2 Items. However, each item has Billing plan with multiple entries like Down payment Inv, Partial Inv and Final Inv. We want to create Pro-Forma Invoice so we can just send Invoice to customer, with no effect on our AR side. I created Sales order with 2 Items. When I created Pro-Forma Invoice using VF01, it created 2 Invoices for 2 Items. My question is, Is it possible to create Pro-Forma Invoice for just 1 Item AND within 1 Item, Partial Amount. If so, How ?
Thanks in Advance,
Niranjan

Hi,
It looks you need to create a routine in tranx VOFM with the logic to select one item and partial value.
Then assign this routine in the billing document copy control - item level.
Hope this will help.

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.

Return Order with reference to Proforma invoice

Dear All
Is it possible to create a return order with reference to proforma invoice. How ?? if possible.
Our scenario is when we do stock transfer order and truck meets with an accident or anything and material needs to written to the factory premises. we dont want to complete proforma invoice.
Suggestions PLZZ
Regards-
Ram

I don't see any the relevance or logic of creating of return order from proforma invoice.
You can follow - Returns flow:
PO type is same ( Intercompany STO PO type is NB )
While you make this PO there is a return indicator check box at the line item where you will give qty etc (scroll on the rt side)
Tick that
Then save the PO with all other information
There is a configuration Return delivery type has to be assigned
IMG-MM-Purchasing-PO-Returns Order-Return Plant to Plant
Here for your plant you need to assign delivery type as NCR This config is reqd to be done from your end
So, the Flow would be
- ME21N (with returns indicator)
-VL10B
-VL02N (delivery type will be NCR ) & do a PGR here
-VF01 do billing with reference to delivery created
I Category in del will be NCRN & M type will be 673
If you are using standard document types system will pick billing type as IG which is nothing but a intercompany credit memo
Copy controls between NCR and IG in VTFL is already there in standard
For understanding also, refer following link:
return process intercompany stock transfer
Hope this can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

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.

Proforma invoice is not getting generated

Proforma invoice not getting generated against replenishment delivery though configured relevance for proforma invoice & Pricing standard in the item category.
Copy control are maintained absolutely for Delivery document to Billing document.
The system generating message the item is not relevant for billing.
Can any one attend this on priority.

Hi Rao,
Check the item category configuration via VOV7 for the item category being used in the delivery. The billing relevance should be set to A.
It should help you

Proforma Invoice (F8) for Stock Transport Order

With regard to intra-company STO, we have a specific requirement:
Referencing delivery document generated using Xn: VL10B (delivery from Stock Transport Order), we create proforma invoice type F8. Subsequently, excise invoice is created referencing the proforma invoice.We need to capture the material cost plus 10 % of material cost as PR00 value in the invoice.
Problem:
However, here comes the problem: condition type PR00 does not come automaticcally in the proforma invoice, though pricing procedure has PR00 condition type. We have to manually entere the PR00 condition type for every line item (a routine calculates 110% of the value once value is enetered in the manually entered condition)
Is it the standard system behaviour ? Any way out?
with kind regards
Muraleedharan.R

Hi,
Have you maintained the condition records for PR00 , if not than you have to enter it manually at the item level .
If your price is same for all the items than maintain use header condition or else at item level you have to enter PR00 item by item.

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).
Regards,
Krishna.

Sales proforma invoice - f.o.c.

Hello,
I have the following issue.
For customs purposes our sales company has to create a proforma invoice with reference to the delivery.
If the order (TA) was for free (itm.cat. TANN) because of warranty, they have to print a proforma as well with the value of the parts.
Now I have the problem that in the proforma invoice it doesn't allow me to change a price from zero to whatever value, cause the itm.cat. TANN is an item without price calc.
Does someone know the correct procedure?
Many many thanks,
Wolfi.

If it is acceptable to display the valuation price of the goods, you can use the value of VPRS (I guesss this is not acceptable for business since they would disclose confidential information)
Other options might be:
- if the f.o.c sales document is created with reference to the original sales document, you can pick up the price from there
- you can try to simulate the pricing in the program of the form (using FM "PRICING", "PRICING_DIALOG" ??? - I haven't tried them...just found them on sapfans forum; if necessary you can; you can try to find better standard FM or develop your own solution)
Just my ideas...

Delivery note cancellation in case of proforma invoice

Hi SAP Gurus
I am in a typical automotive industry project where stock transfer takes place from factory to Sales Depo. In thsi case we generate STO orders - delivery note-- PGI- Proforma invoice--- Excise invoice .
Now as no accounting documents are generated in the proforma invoice cancellation of proforma invoice is not possible.So it happens that user reverse the PGI and cancels the delivery note.
In many cases he/she remebers to reverse/cancel the corresponding excise invoice generated but there are frequent cases as well where delivery note is reversed and cancelled without reversing/cancelling the corresponding Excise Invoice.
So i require
1. Either the corresponding excise invoice gets cancelled at the time of cancellation/reversal of delivery note.
2. If i could create an error message and validation check that restricts and informs user that a corresponding Excise invoice exists or excise invoice still open .
Please help me out.
Regards
Jaydeep

You can very well control this issue via BADI LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC where you can see various "Methods" in which you can also see "DELIVERY_DELETION".
Tell this requirement to your ABAPer who can very well complete the task by using the above method.
thanks

Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill-up

Hi,
Everytime there is a delivery out from my company, we need to submit a proforma invoice to custom.
Now we plan to implement the Consignment but we facing a problem. After we created the transcations for consignment fill-up (sales order type KB and its delivery order), we want to create the proforma invoice (F8) based on the delivery order but an error occured as below:
"80008164 000010 Item category LF KBN cannot be invoiced with billing type F8."
Is this message telling that consignment fill-up transaction can't use as reference to create a proforma invoice?
Is there any configuration that I need to do to allow the creation of proforma invoice based on the consignment fill-up transaction?
Thank you.

Hi Aaron,
You can have a Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill-up. For this use the following path:
IMG> Sales and Distribution> Sales> Sales Documents> Sales Document Item--> Define Item Categories. Here select the Item Category KBN and select option "D" for Billing Relevance field and "X" for Pricing field (seen in the Business Data option).
Also maintain Copy control between the Delivery type & Billing type using T-code VTFL. Here ensure Copying requirement as 009(DlvRel.pro forma hdr) at Header level. And at Item level select Item category as "KBN" with Copying requirements as 010(DlvRel.pro forma itm), Billing Qty as "B" and Pricing Type as per your requirement.
Hope this helps you.
REWARD if it helps you!!
Regards,
Ajinkya
