hi nayak,

Basically to find out the standard sap script or smartforms for various invoices like proforma, commercial, you can go to transaction NACE>choose V3> click on output types. You shall get a window which shall display the list of all output types. From there choose any output type and press the processing routines button, you shall get the name of the driver program, name of the smartform or sap script and the form routine.

Basically each type of invoice is generated based on the sales area and the company's business process. Some of the diffrent types of invoices are:

a) OE invoice - original equipment manufacturer. This type of invoice directly goes from the vendor's factory to the customer godown.

b) Retail Invoice - This type of invoice goes from the vendor's factory to the distributor, and from there it goes on to the retailer outlet.

c) Stock transfer invoice - This type of invoice goes from the vendor's factory to his own depot, and from the depot it goes to the end customer.

d) Deemed Export invoice - This type of invoice goes from the vendor' factory to a particular customer, who uses the product only for export purposes. So in this case, the excise is deemed for the vendor.

e) Proforma Invoice - This type of invoice, goes to the customs(port of discharge).

f) Export or commercial Invoice - Once the good leaves from the port of discharge to the customer's port , bill of lading no is given to the vendor, based on that the export invoice is created.

So for all the invoices mentioned above, there are separate sales area. Sales area is a combination of sales organisation/Distribution channel/Division. This means that the vendor can decide by which way his products has to be mapped and delivered to the customer.

Hi,

These are the forms for INVOICE - LB_BIL_INVOICE.

YOu can probably copy and modify the same according to your requirements.

The driver program for the same is RLB_INVOICE.
