Work Order/Service order

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have one requirement from client. Can any please help me over this.

Client invites quotation for construction services. Once quotation is approved and vendor/service provider is selected, for making advance payment, client asks for performa invoice. On the basis of performa invoice work order is issued and advance payment is made. After receiving original invoice reconcilliation is done.

My questions are:

1> How the functionality of performa invoice is mapped in SAP?

2> How Work order is created?

3> How advance payment is made?

Please reply.

Thanks & Regards,

Amit Tiwari

HI,

In AC03 is to Create Service Master or Service Activity for construction services .

With Item Catagory "D" and account assignment Catagory "K"(Cost Center) or any other required acc. assi.cat.,Create RFQ (ME41N), enter quotation(ME47), compare Quotation(ME49) and In rise Service PO(ME21N)

Advance can be paid to vendor in F-47 & F-48 and work order can be your PO with agreement details( standard PO not having, you have go for user exit and developed the PO out put).

Performa invoice form vendor side, you have to go for user exit.

If helpful then reward.

The same thing done in our import items.normally import payment done with proforma invoice.

1) we have given the advance amount with the reference of PO in F_47 finance transaction.

2) this amount lies as advance amount of this vendor againgst the PO

3) After IR finanace will settle this amount with the reference of the original nvoice.

4) Advance amount reflects in PO history.

Thanks Muthu,

It was very helping answer. Can you further tell me what is meant by Work Order?

Is it a purchase order for service. I believe building construction is a service.
