Commercial invoice after intercompany invoice only

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

My requirement is at the Time of Creating Commercial Invoice system should give error "Inter company invoice is not created', after creation of Inter-comapany invoice only system should allow to create the Commercial invoice.

1. Is Any Standard Copying control is there for VTFL between the OBD to Commercial Invoice.

     2.  Other wise Customizing Like: Check VBRK VBELN exists for FKTYP(Billing Category) should be " Delivery-related billing document for inter-company billing(I)" then only allow to create the Commercial Invoice.

Is any alternate Solution to this

Pls give the Directions.

Regards,

Srinivas

First of all, could you explain the business rationale of triggering the Inter-company Invoice (Let's say IV Type) first and then settling for Commercial invoice ?

As you would be aware that trigger of Inter-company Invoice is restricted to internal activity of the service provider company codes(This in general business practice IV type is created at last once the commercial invoice is done) and always the business priority is the commercial invoice...If you still interested to proceed in the above process highlighted by you, i think you have to come with a logic to frame a custom routine which needs to be embedded in copying requirement between Delivery type and Commercial Invoice type...

Hello,

I feel the second option (creating a new Routine) to check the existence of Intercompany Invoice is the best option.

I do think there is any standard copy control setting available to check your requirement.

The Business requirement  is restrict the user  creating commercial invoice.After inter company invoice creation only allow to create the Commercial Invoice

But system will to create any invoice after OBD, Commercial first  and IV second and Vise-Versa.

Hi ,

Your interest is good in Inter Company Process but as you want know in real time way ,how they People running scenarios on this topic .Why because in any company first clear the Commercial Invoice from customer side after only Inter Company Billing will be raised from one company to another company to clearing process ( in my company process also ) .But you want do first Inter company billing after commercial invoice ,we don't have relevant SAP standard settings to do this way and vise-versa also. but you can go as logically by status .

If you have any doubts please let me know .

Thanks,

Dear Narendra,

I too Know the Standard process, as of now we are using the Same process of commercial then Inter-Company only but the Business want to restrict because of the customs clearance will be on Inter-company invoice only after that Any Surcharges will apply to commercial Invoice to the Customer.

according to my Knowledge no Standard process for this if you Know.

pls  Let me now as well.
