Thanks and regards,

Hi,

In customer master in shipping screen of sales area data we have a field for partial deliveries. SAP allows 9 maximum deliveries for a single sales order. The partial deliveries should be allowed otherwise the system will not allow you to create multiple deliveries for the same order.

Create a sales order in VA01, save it. Go to VL01N and as per your requirement change the delivery qty. For example the order qty is 50. For the first time when i go to VL01N, in the delivery qty field i will change it from 50 to say 10, accordingly i will pick 10 pc only and I will do PGI. The next time i go to VL01N the system will show me 40 in delivery qty field. I will change it from 40 to 10 and do the picking & PGI. Similarly i do the same thing 3 more times. Now my sales order qty is 50 and i have 5 deliveries for this sales order.

<b>Creating single invoice:</b>

Go to VF01 and enter all the 5 different delivery numbers there and press enter. Click on execute or press "F8" the system will take you to a screen where it will show you 5 line items of the same material with 10 quantities each. Save the invoice. Thus you created a single invoice for multiple deliveries of a single sales order.

<b>Invoice split:</b>

Suppose when the delivery of the items is being done for different shipping addresses then the SH is different. Now the invoice will split - means after you enter the 5 delivery numbers and press "F8" the system will show you a button for "Split Analysis" If you click on this the system will show you the criteria because of which the split is taking place. The followig are important for invoice split:

1. Ship to party,

2. Incoterms,

3. Billing date,

4. Reference number

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi Dinesh,

if u have different Ship to party, shipping point, plants.. and Qty is not available (with availablity check) the delivery automatically spilt the delivery. if u want manually spilt, whenever create delivery here u change From item and To item manually or changes the delivery qty manually.

If want single invoice for multiple deliveries.when u maintain same Terms of payment, Bill to party , Billing dates then it possiable to single invoice for multiple deliveries.

It is possibile with vl01n you have the option item from to item enter the no and if the ship to party and shipping point is different for the line item you can do the mulitiplrdeivery for the sales order

if you want to do the one invoice for the multiple deliverys if payer and billing date and payement terms should same then you do the invoice

Hi Dinesh,

If you want to create multiple deliveries for a Sales order then for each line item you need to create a delivery document (as Bill told), while if you wanna split it, solution suggested above will do.

In order to combine the multiple deliveries in a single invoice, you must have Payer, Payment Terms and Billing date must be same. Moreover any different header details would lead to Invoice split. So make sure that all are same.

Reward points if find useful

HI

for multiple deliveries if u have many line items select the each line item and do delivery.

IF THE LINE ITEMS HAVE DIFFERENT SHIP TO PARTY AND WARE HOUSE OR STORAGE LOCATIONS DELIVERIES ARE SPLIT OR MULTIPLE DELIVERIES CAN BE POSSIBLE.

AND IF U WNAT SINGLE INVOICE FOR MULTIPLE DELIVERIES PAYER AND OTHER HEADER DATA SHOULD BE SAME

Standard SAP should allow it.

Create the delivery VL01

Order #

From Item

to Item

do this for each order item

For the Invoice VF01

enter the multiple delivery documents
