Dear Mike

Instead of deviating the normal procedure, what I would suggest is that you upload opening stock via MB1C / 561 or MI10, to the extent of material despatched, create delivery, do PGI and then invoice. By this, the status of the order would be in line with standard feature.

thanks

Even if you "fake" the system, how will you deal with the discrepancy in the warehouse? Without the delivery and goods movement document the material will show as if it's still in the warehouse. Why don't you just create a delivery and invoice, as (I'd assume) the business normally do.

Another option is to create a debit memo (order type DR), but, again, it won't help with the inventory. You might want to think this through first...

Hello,

If the item category is relevent for order related billing you can do it with transaction VF01, input sales document number, select the billing type F1 (order realted billing).
