RE:[sap-log-sd] Functional problem with Pro Forma invoices and Cash In Advance

Hi Typewriter,

I have got doubts in your comments stating: "Currently - with testing - I notice that an F2 invoice can be created multiple times and each time an account posting is done."

Generally the system allows you to create invoice F2 until the delivery is totally invoiced. Once the delivery is totally invoiced, the billing status in the delivery changes to C and if you then try to create the billing document, the system gives an error log, stating that the document (delivery number) is already fully invoiced. Thus preventing further creation of the invoice.

Subject: Functional problem with Pro Forma invoices and Cash In Advance

We are having more problems using Pro Forma invoices as our international shipments increase, particularly to South America which has more rigid requirements. We have similar issues using a Pro Forma for Cash In Advance customers. The problem is that the invoice number on a Pro Forma is not the real, final invoice. It actually isn't much of anything except a reference back to our sales document. Sometimes an audit by the customs authorities back to the customer causes a mis-match, sometimes a payment is sent in reference to a Pro Forma, and other issues. Does anyone know of other solution in SAP? I believe we need something like an advance invoice, automatically blocked. Our normal invoices are generated at the time of the goods issue.
Thanks,
Rory
