Sales invoice to another customer.

Hi Masters,

Customer are A, B.

I have to ship the items to customer A and Invoice to customer B.

By Mistake I did not assign the Bill to Customer No = Blank In Customer Card.

So In sales order sell to Cust No, Biil to cust No are same when I generate sales order.

I created a Sales order for “ A “ and I done shipped full qty .

But this customer asked me create the sales invoice on the customer “ B” .

In sales order – Invoicing Tab I am going to select the customer No after shipment system follows this error.

Quantity Shipped must be 0 in Sales Line Document Type=‘Order’,Document No.=‘1049’,Line No.=‘10000’.

So how to solve this error.

Please help me.

The system has already posted the shipped not invoiced position which can affect the ledgers, therefore the system wants you to have a shipped quantity of zero, so do what it wants, unship the order, reset the invoice details then reship it.

Thank you sir,

No, here I don’t want to unship because I shipped the items to proper customer, but I invoice has to generate to another customer.

Then how can I create the sales invoice to another customer, for which already shipped

You cannot

You have already shuipped it and created all of the entries to teh invoice customer as specified, you have to unship it, it is only a document step, you do not actually have to request the stock back. You made an error, you need to correct it, so unship it to correct then re-ship with the correct information.

Your alternative is to invoice the order to the wrong customer, load a credit memo against this customer, process teh stock back in, load a new sales order with the correct details and then ship and invoice it. The choice is yours.

I might be mistaked, but I think that if you create the invoice from Financial Management → Receivables → Invoices → Functions → Get Shpt. Lines you should be able to change the Bill to Customer.

Thanks Anna,

I tried in that way also , I am getting the same error.

So how to solve this problem.

I hope the system what it is giving the message is not the correct way .

Please help me.

The answer has already been given to you Lally, why are you resisting to accept the answer?

What we do at work is issue an internal Credit memo. Put the items back in stock and create a new Sales Order with proper Bill-to → Ship to- >Invoice to…

The Credit memo is never mailed and the Customer is never aware of it.
