Create Proforma Invoice - Launch

Program/Screen: SAPOET/SAPOET1007

Description:

Use this screen to launch the Create Proforma Invoice program where you create a manual proforma invoiceDraft or suspense invoice that looks like an actual invoice, but the customer is not billed and accounts receivable is not affected. for sales items.  Creating a proforma invoice does not create G/L transactions.  The G/L transactions are not written until a pre-payment receipt for the invoice is entered in the Create Pre-payment Receipt program.

 

Use the Manage Proforma Invoices program to convert proforma invoices into actual A/R invoices.

 

The Create Proforma Invoice program is only available if you have the Use proforma/receipt field set to Y in control record NXTPPR, and the Use VAT field set to Y in control record EURDFT.
