AP Invoice Blocking Reason

For Accounts Payable Invoices that have been blocked, i know that BSEG-ZLSPR is the Payment block key. For MM documents, where is the Blocking Reason stored ?

Hi,
The settings in MM area for Invoice Block reasons can be found in OMR9 and tolerance limits in OMR6.

Invoice Block reasons

Hello,
1) Where do we maintain invoice block reasons.
2) If invoice is blocked for any reason, how we can identify the exact reason.
Regards,
KSR

Hello KSR,
To define blocking reasons for invoice/billing, go to menu path
SAP IMG->SD->Billing-> Billing documents->Define blocking reasons for billing.
U can find the billing block reason in Sales order header data,
go to Header, Billing document tab,Billing screen, Billing block field.
For item, Go to item in Sales order,
Billing doument tab, Billing screen, Billing block field.
Hope U got the answer,

Custom invoice blocking reason

When posting an invoice, several checks are done to see whether invoice items should be blocked for payment. This is being done based on price and quantity. Right now we want to block payment for an incoming invoice item if that item does not have a corresponding PO item.
To this end we want to (ab)use the blocking reason for quality. When posting an invoice, there will be a time in the code that blocking reasons will be checked, at least for price and quantity. At that point we would like to insert our own code to set the quality block field if required.
Is there a way of customizing this process or creating an additional check without having to adjust standard SAP? Thanks in advance for the help!

An update and a question on the issue. The badi eventually didn't work for us, the additional checks it performed made it very hard to work with. What we did was adjust standard SAP in the routine for quality check. If our check returned negative, we set the quality block and return the process to SAP. Luckily this isn't a coding beauty contest, but it works perfectly.
Now we've been asked to implement the same process in another system. Newer system (SAP ECC 6.0), so once again we want to check whether there is a better way of solving the issue.
We know we're able to define custom blocking reasons. However they all seem to be related to tolerance level checking, which is not what we want to do.
Is there any way of creating a custom blocking reason on header or item level, which we can set with custom ABAP coding? Then we can program what we want to check and when to set the block.

Difference between deleting invoice blocking reason and releasing blocked i

Hi - in mrbr we have two options - one is to delete a blocking reason and the other is to release the invoice.
It appears that it is possible to delete the blocking reason and this releases the invoice for payment.
It is also possibel to releease the invoice without deleting the blocking reason and this has the same effect.
Why do both things appear to do the same?

Hi,
The both cases differ in approach, we use delete blocking reason if there is any block existing for the Invoice and after that if the system finds no other block on Invoice header ten the Invoice is automatically released, however if we go for direct release then only those Invoices are released which had blocking reasons but some business transactions have nullified the block already.

Storing the Variance Block Reason Code in the Parked Invoice Document

Folks,
When I perform parking an incoming invoice (MIR7 or MIRO), system checks for price variance and issues the message. When I save the document, block reasons are not stored at Parked document level. Only when I post the document, the reason code 'R' is stored in the document.
Is there a way to get the Block reason in the parked document?
Thanks in advance. Murali

I am still researching this issue. Let me know if there are any options or ideas.
Thanks.

Code for AP Invoice Payment Block and Blocking Reason

What is the best way to code unblocking of Accounts Payable Invoice - using FM FI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE, BDC or direct table update.
Also, i need to remove blocking reasons for MM documents. I am not sure what table this is stored? Are there any FMs that can do this or does anybody have any example code?
Help much appreciated
Andrew

Hi,
Also, i need to remove blocking reasons for MM documents. I am not sure what table this is stored? Are there any FMs that can do this or does anybody have any example code?
The table is RBKP_BLOCKED.
To remove blocking reasons have a look at transaction MRBR.
Best regards.

Invoice blocked for qty reason, but condition type deleted from the PO

Hi Gurus,
I have an LIV with R block in the header level. The invoice contains a line item for planned delivery cost condition type FRB1 which was entered manually during PO creation.(no condition record exists for FRB1). But the condition type FRB1 is missing from the PO line item now and when trying to release the invoice block via MRBR, it gives the message that the 'list is incomplete'.
The PO is not having any release strategy and the invoice number is available in the index table RBKP_BLOCKED.
The condition type FRB1 got deleted from the PO on re-triggering the pricing. The business needs the pricing to be carried out on the shipment date from the vendors site. So when the vendor issues the goods, the same is updated in the pricing date field in PO line item and the pricing is re-triggered. So in this case the happenings were in the below sequence.
1. Buyer created PO with manually entered FRB1 condition type.
2. Invoice posted against the PO.
3. When vendor has shipped the goods, the ASN updates the pricing date in the PO and carries out re-pricing. The FRB1 got deleted from the PO on re-pricing as no condition record existed.
4. Goods receipt posted
5. Trying to release the invoice in MRBR, but the system gives the message that the list is incomplete.
Please suggest how to go ahead with the resolution of the issue.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Are there any a/c entries showing in GR a/c doc for this cond type? I think it could be a bug when you run the ASN Idoc. Try to un-check Delete indicator for FRB1 which would stop it getting deleted.

Payment block reasons

Hi,
what are the settings i need to do for payment block reasons, i am working in quality management, when i don't approve the quality check, it is allowing for outgoing payment, and it should work like this once i approve the invoice and it should not ask for payment is blocked. Please provide complete config for payment block

Hi Sai
Payment block reason is assigned to differentiate among the reasons why invoices are not paid. You can define as many reasons as your business requires. However block is applicable for all Co Codes defined.
In payment block reason, you have 3 options:
Changes in payment proposals- If you select this, you can edit or delete the block at the time of Payment proposal
Manual payment block- This is to restrict the clearing even if the incoming or outgoing payment is made via manual entry
Not changeable- This cannot be cancelled or editable by the user.
Hope this clarifies your question.

Payment Block Reason Overview Screen

What does "Not Changeable" Indicator Does in Payment Block Reasons Screen
What happens if we check that
A detail answer is well appreciated.
Harsh
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Dear:
I think you are talking about the settings in Tcode OB27. If the checkbox for 'Not Changeable' is activated you cannot change the Payment block directly and vice versa . Manual payment like in F-53 does not consider payment block unless you do not configure it in OB27. You can latter release this invoice only using MRBR. This is for your information.

Payment block reason

Hi Gurus,
can anyone explain where payment block reasons are used?
pls help
Regards
ravi

HI,
Manual payment block
If you manually select a payment block from the list field to block an invoice for payment, the payment block field in the header of the invoice document is marked with the appropriate indicator.
Blocked due to differences
If invoices are to be blocked automatically due to differences in the invoice items, the system enters the payment block R in the vendor line of the Accounting document. The field in the header of the invoice document remains empty.
Random payment block
Invoices that do not show any other blocking reason, can be blocked in accordance with the random principle. In Customizing for the Logistics invoice verification, you can set the probability for the block. The indicator for the logistical payment block is entered in the header of the invoice document.
Thanks and points

Custom invoice blocked due to Quantity.

Hi All
This is regarding Intercompany India scenario.
Issue : Custom invoice #5109581820 has been blocked for quantity. There are seven conditions ( JCDB,JCV1,JECV,J1CV,JEDB,JSDB,JADC) maintained for custom vendor and one condition (ZCCC ) for custom clearing charges vendor.
Hence there are total eight conditions for customs. And the above mentioned invoice has been block for Basic customs duty (JCDB) and Ecess on total duty (JEDB) conditions. Question : 1) Why the invoices for Basic customs duty (JCDB) and Ecess on total duty (JEDB) conditions are blocked.
2) Why only the invoices for Basic customs duty (JCDB) and Ecess on total duty (JEDB) conditions are blocked and not for other conditions ?
Details are as follows:
1)In PO#4700279549 total PO qty is 100.140kg
And delivery have been done in partial for qty 80.150kg and 19.990kg
2)PGI also done in partially for the same qty.
3)Now first custom invoice #5109538999 is for qty 80.150kg.has been posted on dated 16.10.2008
4)GR for qty 40.110 has been done on dated 31.10.2008
5)On dated 03.11.2008 GR posted for qty 20.040 but cancelled again on same date.
6)Now custom invoice #5109581820 posted for remaining qty 19.990 but still for invoice #5109538999 for remaining(80.150-40.110=40.040) qty has not been received before second of custom invoice.
7)After 5.11.2008 GR posted for qty 20.00kg and on 06.11.2008 Gr posted for qty 20.040
That means total GR has been posted for custom invoice #5109538999.
Thanks and Regards..

Hi Joan
Good question. First I tend to use this mail function, but then I decided to implement the workflow because
a) I was wondering how this works g and it is kind of sexy
b) I needed already a workflow for the Investment Management and wanted to stick on this technique
c) later we want to scan incoming invoices where we also will need to work with Workflows
d) the WF provides some functions like jumping directly to the invoice and order, delete blocking reasons or change the order
e) the WF could later be modified to cover more or other requirements
Of course the receipant of the Workitem also gets an eMail (via Internet) to let him know about an incoming workitem.
The most time I needed to find out how this works. Now it's just a piece of cake (as long as the SAP-standard WF for this is used without any modifications); would take not more than 15 Minutes to set it up again... no joke. But this depends also on the release you're on.
Of course you have to make a good end user documentation (but you have to anyways for the invoice verification) and about two good flow charts. This together with some trainings really needs the time.

Invoice blocked for payment without GRN(MRBR)

Hi all,
I need to have a report which should show the details of invoices blocked for payment and which dont have any GRN means Invoice is generated without GRN and hasbeen blocked because of either of quantity or price difference.
For the same I tried to use MRBR report but it is showing all the invoices blocked but what I need is invoice generated and blocked for payment without having a GRN as base document.

Hi,
You can use ME2L but in MRBR report better use filter and sort documents by blocking reason R1 (Missing GRN), this should solve your purpose.
Hope this helps you. Any point?

Invoice Block due to price variance

Dear Friends,
In invoice verification I have configured invoice block for price variance (PP).
I have mentioned upper limit as 5%.
PO---100
GRN---100
Invoice---120
I have made this as warning message. I want this should not be open for payment before releasing in MRBR. After posting the document in MIRO it shows that invoice is blocked for payment. The payment bock indicator in payment tab in MIRO shows as "R"--Invoice verificatin.
But system allows this document for payment to be done both in f-58 & f-53.
So please tell me how to stop payment to be done before releasing it in MRBR.
Regards
R Panda

Hi

Please check with your FI consultant

MRBR- Remove Blocking reason automatically

Hi,
we have below scenario:
Invoice created for a vendor in MIRO with reference to PO withour GR. Payment Block "R-Invoice Verification" is set in the invoice due to Quantity and Price Block.
Now the requirement is to remove the Invoice block automatically in the background and work item should be removed from the inbox.
When we scheduled a batch job for MRBR with options "Release automatically" ,system selects only the invoice where the reason code is invalid i.e., where a GR has been performed for the invoice.
Checked SDN forum but could not find the solution.
Can you suggest how we can automatically remove the block using MRBR without creating GR.
Thanks in advance.
Raj.
