Commercial Invoice from Shipment

[Former Member]

Dear All

Need help we require commercial invoice generated from shipment, as business process is to generate commercial invoice after building shipment with packing process e.g:

Sales orders > Multiple deliveries with pick pack individually over period of days> building shipment with already created deliveries (VT01N) with packing too as to build container / truck load & PGI > lastly comercial invoice with reference to shipment.

SAP support commercial invoice through pro forma invoice (F8) with reference to deliveries, not with shipment.

Anybody created commercial invoice out of shipment instead of deliveries? If yes please explain how?

Regards

Bali

Dear Bali,

-->Not possible to create the commercial invoice with reference to the shipment document.

-->Even though if you have transaportation process invoice will be created with reference to the delivery only.

But you can complete Delivery PGI & commercial invoice creation while saving the completed shipment document by maintaining Activity profiles.

Go through this IMG path to maintain the assign the Activity profiles to your shipment document type.

SPRO>IMG>Logistics Execution>Transportation>Shipments-->Define and Assign Activity Profiles

Here you can maintain Activity profile for your shipment document type in At completion colomun.

After givin some Activity profile name in the At completion colomun you keep cursor at Activity profile then click on Maintain push button now system will ask you customisation request give proper request then click on OK now system will take you to the Activity profile Maintain Variant screen here you can find radio button,

Carryout goods issue posting during save under Post Goods issue for deliveries of shipment tab

and Carry out billing check box under Further functions when saving the shipment.

If you want complete PGI and create Invoice automatically when the shipment save you can keep radio button and check mark at these area then save the changes.

Now system will do PGI and generate invoice when you save the completeed shipment document.

I hope this will help you,

Regards,

Murali.
