Bill of lading date

[former_member624876]

In Goods Receipt there is a fiield for Bill of Lading. But that is for the number of B/L. Is there a way to see B/L date? How big effort it is to add a field for B/L date? If Payment term is 'XX days from Bill of Lading' you can see the date when posting an invoice.

Not sure what exactly the Business process is. Normally, Bill of Lading would be used in exports for which, you need to have an outbound delivery but you have indicated as inbound delivery. If you are talking about export sales, yes, many clients will consider actual sales based on Bill of Lading date and not the billing date in which case, you can set the posting block for that billing type and through a customized tcode, pop up a date field and whatever user key in, that should get updated in BKPF-BUDAT

Thanks for the comment.

Could you please suggest that is it advisable to add a bill of lading date field in MIGO screen?

Hi,

In my opinion you have two ways. If you are using MIGO you can enhance tables MSEG or MKPF and add the ZZfield in MIGO with the BADI (MB_MIGO_BADI).

The other, is to use inbound deliveries for this vendor (in purchase info record you can do it with confirmation indicator), where you have available more fields with dates, obviously instead to have this date in MSEG or MKPF tables, you need to look for in LIPS/LIKP.

It's a suggestion.

I hope it helps you
