Delivery free of charge Invoice should not Post to accounting

[Former Member]

Hello,

As per Client's specific Business process , till now ZERO value Invoice(Delivery Free of charge) is created (This is not SAP Standard).

No accounting document is generated because of ZERO value of Invoice.

Only COPA Document is generated.

ZERO value invoice is generated because of all Pricing Conditions are Statistical in Pricing Procedure.

Now , Requirement is to create Invoice with Values & also Print values in Invoice, without posting it to accounting.

The simplest way to do it to remove Statistical check from all Pricing conditions , Values will start Printing.

But in this case ,Invoice getting started posted to accounting.

Q:- Please let me know the simplest way to create Invoice (Delivery Free of Charge) with values but on the same time , it should not post to accounting only COPA should be generated.

(AR Electronic Invoice)

Thanks in Advance.

Dear Vikas,

you have to bit work on pricing procedure,

will give you some hints which may help you to resolve,

as u said all values conditions shuld be statestical, thats correct ,dont remove ,use condtion type invoice value ,and R100 100%

discount at end of the steps in PP which will make invoice becomes ZERO

finally a zero invoice creates and all values gets print also

Hi,

Free of charge Deliveries are basically of 2 types.

1. When you send Promotinal materials for display purpose, Physician samples in pharma industry etc.

Those materials do not have any commercial values, they are send free-of-charge.

We process those materials with Order Type FD (Free-of-charge Delivery).

2. Another case, when suppose you had sent 10 units of some material (commercially valued materials) for which customer has already paid the money to you.

After that suppose customer has found that 2 units are damaged or defective for which he has returned the 2 units to you.

Here, you have 2 options to compensate the customer, either you will issue a Credit Memo or you will replace with fresh units for those 2 returned units.

If, you will replace 2 fresh units to the customer, then it is called "Subsequent Delivery Free-of -chrge".

The Order Type used for the above is "SDF".

In this case, even though the material is a commercially valued material but we send it as free-of-charge as Customer has already has paid for it.

In both the above case, may it be "Free-of-charge Delivery (FD)" or "Subsequent Free-of-charge Delivery (SDF)", both the transactions are not relevant for Billing.

You can check the same in Sales document Item category KLN and KLX, both are not relevant for Billing. That means you can not create a commercial Invoice for those transactions.

In the above case, if required we create Proforma Invoice with reference to the Delivery document.

Proforma Invoice is a dummy Invoice and not posted to Accounting.

So, in your case you can create a Proforma Invoice.
