SAP Note 1025066 - Revenue recognition by proof of delivery (POD)

Component : Revenue Recognition -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1025066 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note details a missing function in the sales document process related to revenue recognition and proof of delivery (POD). For revenue recognition, goods issue is significant, but completion isn't recognized without a POD, which delays revenue recognition. The solution introduces a new process where sales documents include revenue-relevant items with POD requirement. Upon goods issue posting, revenue lines are updated but blocked until POD confirmation. Using transactions like VF44, the blocks can be managed. Additionally, specific standard processes and IDoc types are incorporated for efficient handling and recording in VBREVE once confirmed.
