Rimworld Transport Pod Return
Dec 10, 2018 - Lets say i need to send a team to attack enemy base far away, can i use transport pod to return too?
Hi GuysI have seen many threads about proof of delivery (POD). I want to share something about POD that how we can use this for two different business scenarios. In standard SAP you can see help documents stating that POD can be used for confirming material delivery to the customer and its quantity. There are some companies in which they sales process is different.
MoazzaM, Members,It is surprising that there are no comments at the content level (questions, other business scenarios, etc. Etc.)!MoazzaM,A question about the dates in the screenshot –POD date = POD entry date = That means a user is entering in the billing document, of a POD which is after the entry date!How is this possible?POD date can be equal to or before the POD entry date. (and not after)Side comment – The blog touches lot of interesting points – Change points, Text field, ABAP coding to create new fields etc.Thank you! Good point and catch 😀I just put the screens to show the fields. I also didnt check the dates.
When I created this document system showed the current system date in POD entry field and I manually entered 25 in POD date. Your point is valid and I am thankful that you highlighted this. You are right about dates. POD date can be equal to POD entry date always.Not before or after because when ever user will change POD date system will automatically update POD entry date field as well and maintain a change log of it.Thank$. MoazzaM,Not before or after because when ever user will change POD date system will automatically update POD entry date field as well and maintain a change log of it.Take a business scenario –The date, time and signature on the “POD” (a copy of the delivery note, with the signature of the SH warehouse staff) are of Monday, the same day this paper arrives in the company office.
But all the POD entries (in the billing documents, in the z fields mentioned by you) are done on the following Friday (4 days after the POD is done).In this case the POD date = 09-Sep-2013POD entry date = 13-Sep-2013Now because entry of POD information is done on 13-Sep, the POD date can not be made as 13-Sep (for the above case).Or because POD date is 09-Sep, the POD entry date can not be made as 09-Sep; the system date being 13-Sep. The idea is to deactivate only that piece of code in the standard routine which checks POD status and prevents invoice creation.Rather than change the standard routine, a new routine can be created as follows:1. VOFM – Copying Requirements – Billing Documents2. Give a routine number (901 for example) and description.3.
Copy the code of routine 3 (Header/dlv.-related) EXCEPT for first and last statements (Form and Endform)4. Paste in the new routine. Comment the code (shown below) related to POD status (PDSTK) check and activate the routine. POD-StatusIF VBUK-PDSTK NA ‘ C’.PERFORM VBFSHINZUFUEGEN USING ‘000000’ ‘197’ SPACE SPACE SPACE.SY-SUBRC = 4.EXIT.ENDIF.5. After activation of this routine, make sure that this is assigned in the configuration as follows.VTFL transaction – choose the relevant billing type and delivery type copy control and double click to open the header settings. The copying requirements routine is 3 in standard R/3; replace this with 901 and transport the configuration as well as the routine.6.
With the above routine and configuration active, when an invoice of the relevant billing type is being created, system won’t prevent even if POD status (PDSTK) is not C (complete). Hi MoazzaM,My scenario is similar to second scenario. When Customer receives goods, he sends a GRN. We are receiving GRN from Customer and creating POD against that. However, what would be logic, if customer does partial GRN? Say if I have delivered 100 quantity along with invoice print.
Customer has placed 50 in blocked stock and did GRN against invoice for rest 50 quantity. Rest 50 they will be doing GRN at later stage – whether accepted or rejected with reason code.At our end, the idea of capturing POD should cover reason for all lines of invoice for entire quantity, so that status of GRN can be found as COMPLETED or PENDING. This information would be used by commercial team for Payment validations.Does the function module YSDIDOCINPUTSTPPOD support receiving partial GRN multiple times against an Invoice and update VLPOD table? We have done some customization at our end and currently if GRN is sent against an invoice multiple times, data in VLPOD will be over written.Please explain if standard program support this or feasibility for customization.Regards,Usha.
There are two points. Function which you are sharing is not a standard one and that is your customized ABAP system I guess. I have never worked on Idocs so I am not able to comment on that. How would yo do POD after billing document is created? Have you done some customization for doing POD in VLPOD Tcode after creation of billing document?Kinldy give answer of 2nd point so that I can analyze it further.If you are looking for some customized solution you can follow the same which I have shared in this document. WHat you need to do is just add your customized fields in invoice at line item level.
For us it was at header level because there is always full delivery and fully accepted by customer. In your case if it can be partial then you have to go for item level.Thank$. Thank you very much MoazzaM for this Explanation. The second scenario is very useful for my company’s Scenario. We would like to be able truck delivery notes that come back from customer with their stamps and scan and attach the same in SAP while monitoring which ones haven’t been received back;1. Can you be able to make the it in such a way that it sends notification for deliveries not received after a given period of time2. Can you attach scanned copy?3.

Can one have an exceptional report for the ones that haven’t been received back?Thanks,Ouma. Hello Sir,I have gone through your document posted here it is very useful. We have recently configured POD process but the scenario is little different than mentioned above.For ExportOrder – Delivery – Proforma invoice – Confirmation of delivery(Based on ETA) – Final invoiceFor handling BL charges user is not ready to use shipment and shipment costing as the requirement is to hit the different charges in different GL as per vendor which is not possible through standard shipment costing. Can you please guide on the same.also one more challenge is our customers are based in different countries where ETA at customer is 30 days or more how can we automate POD confirmation based on time frame in customer master as for the same customer material dispatched from different factory and from different terminals and hence the time frame will vary.please help in this case.ThanksAshwini. HiThough I am replying after many days of your comment posting, let me put my views if these are still helpful for you.Posting different charges in different GLs using shipment cost document is possible. I am not sure why you are saying that this is not possible.

If you can explain your requirement in details may be I can help you.For POD it is manual based on ETA or lead days. Once the POD is received from customer you can use VLPOD and confirm the delivery. Automatic POD is also possible using an Inbound Idoc. You can search in google for more information on this.Thank$.
