RE:[sap-log-sd] Same numbering on Proforma Invoice and Invoice

Possible Answers (my quick review):-

1. But how about a posting block on the invoice, allow printing even though have block (output requirement) = proforma. When confirmation arrives do VF02 change billing date and release to Accounting.

Issues - are you using VLPOD, if so cannot use the above.
Discuss with the Accountants too.

2. Create a requirement / userexit to use a different number range for your requirement. SAP will still use proforma and billing numbers, but based on the requirement / userexit you use a the other number range for printing the proforma / billing. See below:

Proforma Issued SAP no 3310000001 Z1 3500000000
Billing Issued SAP 3320000001 Z1 3500000000 (references proforma)

Will need a Z table to hold the mapping of proforma to Z1 and confirm billing issued too.

Hope it helps, mark as helpful.

Subject: Same numbering on Proforma Invoice and Invoice

Dear Experts.

My client is export company with the following conditions:

Business Case:
1. Delivery Order is a reference to generate Proforma Invoice and Invoice.
2. Proforma Invoice is created for custom duty purposes before posting goods issue.
3. Invoice is created for customer after shipment realization (approx 1-2 weeks after Proforma Invoice created).
4. Both documents have the same data such as material, quantity and pricing, the actual shipment date only stated in Invoice.
5. Receivables and Revenues are recognized upon Invoice release to accounting.

Requirement:
Proforma Invoice and Invoice should have the same number.

SAP Standard Solution:
1. Billing type for both Proforma Invoice and Invoice are specific and only set as internal number.
2. Both documents recorded in table VBRK-VBELN as a key.

Question:
How can I fulfill the above requirement?

Thanks.
Zaki
