IBGI-Invoice before goods issue customizing on SAP EWM

[malimo]

Blog porpose:

As a consultant, I was tasked with implementing IBGI in SAP EWM, but found a lack of comprehensive guides detailing the entire process. Therefore, I decided to create this blog to thoroughly explain all the customizing steps involved, accompanied by screenshots from SAP EWM.

In this blog, I also emphasize the importance of having HU updates in ERP before launching IBGI and explain how to do it.

What is IBGI:

IBGI is a process within EWM to initiate the invoicing process before issuing the goods. It is typically used to start the customs procedures, which can take time to complete.

It is not possible to perform an IBGI before completing Picking and creating the outbound delivery.

The sequence is as follows: ODO → Picking → OD → IBGI → Loading → PGI

We can initiate the IBGI process for a single delivery or multiple deliveries.

Step-by-Step Guide for SAP EWM IBGI activation:

The IBGI should be activited per Sales document type and sales organization, using the customizing below:

Logistic execution→Extended warehouse management intergation→Billing settings→Determine Invoice before Goods issue.

Allow the invoice before goods issue in the Outbound Delivery Document Type.

Extended warehouse management→good issue Process→outbound delivery→Define document types for outbound delivery process

Make sure that the invoice before goods issue is allowed for the outbound delivery Item:

Extended warehouse management→good issue Process→outbound delivery→Define Item types for Outbound delivery process

This setting is fundamental for the IBGI process.

By activating 'HU Update,' we allow the system to create the packing Handling Unit (HU) in the ERP system before goods issue through the PPF action: /SCWM/MSG_PRD_SEND.

Extended warehouse management→Cross process setting →Delivery warehouse request→Process management and control

In order to print the invoice, assign the print profil of IBGI to local prtinter and make the release as Immed:

Logistic exécution→Extended warehouse management intergation→Billing settings→Assign Output types and printer to print Profiles

Assign the same print profil to the invoice application V3:

Logistic execution→Transportation→Output control→Define print profiles

Add the condition type REA0 to the relevante procedure with the requirement 417:

Logistic execution →shipping→Output control→maintaine output determination for outbound deliveries → maintaine output determination procedure 

Make sure that the Route in your Outbound delivery is maintained on the transaction /SCWM/IBGI

In this transaction, we must choose whether we want to group deliveries on the same invoice or not

By following these steps, you can customize the IBGI process to meet your business requirements.

Thank you.
