Clubbing several post shipment document into one

[anubhab]

Hello Experts,

We have a business scenario:

Currently we are generating one post-shipment document for each pre-shipment document. But the business wants to first generate post-shipment documents for each pre-shipment document and then club all post-shipment documents for a single consignment, together to generate a final post-shipment document with different EXP number. This final document we need to print. How can we club several post-shipment docs into one post-shipment doc?

Thanks,

I must be not the only one unable to understand the question. What exactly is the "pre-shipment" and "post-shipment" document? I know what shipment is but have never heard of such documents.

Also not sure what "clubbing" is, did you mean - to combine?

Hi,

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. I'm new to here, so not aware of all the technical terms.

I need to combine (club) multiple Export Invoices into one. The final one will be same in format but need to generate a new Invoice number and reference number for that. I need the new reference number as to print the same. Can anyone please suggest me how to proceed in this case.

Thanks,

It's not a matter of inconvenience for me, it's just you won't get many intelligent replies if you don't use the standard SAP terminology. You can't be as new to SAP as not to know the terms like 'sales document', 'billing document', etc. That's how they are called in the SAP documentation, just use the same terms, so that everyone can understand. Also searching for the correct terms will improve the result exponentially.

Still I'm not 100% sure what "export invoice" is exactly, but I'll take a guess this is a billing document. You might want to take a look at the Invoice List functionality (google it), but I'm not sure if it would fit the bill.

If this is just a matter of printing then another solution would be a standalone custom printing program. Once I worked on a requirement when a large customer required all the invoices for their multiple branches to be printed in one batch and having some kind of special numbering. The program identified all the invoices to be printed, assigned them an internal number and called an invoice form (the same one used for all the other invoices) to print them. It's not difficult to write such program.

If you could further elaborate on requirements, there might be different/better solution, this is just my best guess based on the limited information provided.
