Re: What do you mean by POD(proof of delivery) what is the use of pod? What are the con figuration you done in your project?Ans Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the proof of delivery itself, you can also record the POD date, POD time. Proof of delivery is customer specific based on the business decision we can activate POD to all customers or selected customers.We have to activate all Delivery item caterogries for POD in the Configuration.Since POD is Customer specific we need to tick the POD indicator in Customer Master shipping screen which is a Masterdata not an config.

If after activation if user try to do billing after PGI system will trigger error log as POD not released Hence we need to use transaction VLPOD enter date ant time and release POD by saving to execute billing process in SAP.We can also set number of days span given for customer to confirm POD or automatically system will confirma the same.

Q3 This is tricky question related to Billing Type.When you create a cash sale in SAP the following things happen:

1. Sales order is not passed through credit check module as cash is the mode of payment2. System automatically creates the delivery for the cash sales order (based on setting of document type BV in standard SAP)Here Act Deter.Procedure is KOFI00 and below account Key EVV is given so directly it is posted into cash Special G/L account & not in standard Revenue account ERS

This is major difference which is tought in SD

Q. Can you explain about Higher-level item category and item usage?Ans. When a existing line item is refering to another line item, the item category of the refered line item is called as Higher level item category.

For eg:Free goods-- You give 1 tv free for 10 tvs10 tvs in one line item is refered by 1 tv in another line item to say it is free for the 10 tvs.here the item category of 10 tvs is the higher level item category.

Also this is used in cases like Bill Of Material ( BOM)

Usage:

This is another component which is used to determine the item category.

Usage can be-- FREE, TEXT, SERVICE etc etc..for eg:

In standard SAP when you type some thing in the description of the line item and even though you enter no other detail it fetches the item category TATX

this is because it assumes the line item usage to be text.So DOc type + TEXT==> TATX

2. Higher Level Item Catergory refer's to Free Items, Bill of Materials and Service Items.

Eg: Item Catergory Determination of Free Goods (i.e. TANN)

Sales Document Type (OR) + Item Category Group (NORM) + Item Usage (FREE) + Higher Level Item Category (TAN)__________________________________________ Item Category of Free Goods (TANN)

Q. Where do you find Schedule lines in a Sales Orders & Deliveries? What is the role of Schedule lines in Sales orders & Delivery? What are the controls of Schedule line category and why is it needed & its importance in Documentation & Delivery
