Proof of Delivery Clarification

[Former Member]

1. Is POD just added in the standard cycle of OTC ([1]SO, [2]DO, [3]DR/GI, [5]POD, [6]Billing)? Is the series correct?

2. what happens to the inventory after the proof of delivery is issued? will there be any changes on the inventory?

3. If we have changes on quantity, is the POD going to change the quantity on the original delivery order? How about the sales order?
4. Is the POD that we should we invoice or the DR still?

I apologize. I am new to this. Pls help. Thank you.

1. Is POD just added in the standard cycle of OTC ([1]SO, [2]DO, [3]DR/GI, [5]POD, [6]Billing)? Is the series correct?

Ans: If customer wants the bill to be created after its confirmation, and the billing amount to be the amount "received" (and approved) by the customer (Ship to party), then you would have to implement POD functionality.

5 POD is correct.

2. what happens to the inventory after the proof of delivery is issued? will there be any changes on the inventory?

After POD is done there shall be no change to inventory.

PGI changes the quantity and value of inventory. POD does not.

The truck might have left with 20 packs of food items. On the way 1 pack is damaged. The customer shall approve of 19 packs as received.

The inventory of that plant has been reduced by 20 packs.

3. If we have changes on quantity, is the POD going to change the quantity on the original delivery order? How about the sales order?

Delivery quantity is not going to be changed. Nor is order quantity in the sales order.

4. Is the POD that we should we invoice or the DR still?

Based on the POD quantity the invoice shall be created. From above example 19 packs shall be billed to the customer (and not 20 packs)
