Blocked invoice Workflow

Hi All,
I have a problem with Invoice blocked for Price reasons workflow,I have copied a Standard one and only changed the agent determination.
When the invoice is executed from the iinbox ,itgives 3 options
i.e 1) Change Purchase Order
2) Item list of price to be blocked
3) List of items not to be clarified,
The proble is selecting any of the above options does do anything..e.g is I select the first option the it displays an order to be changed but it is not editable and the same applies to the rest.
Is there a way in the workflow itself where I should make it to be editable on this step..or is there a SAP note that needs to be implemented to solve this.
Please advise.

Incoming invoice
Object type Bus2081 (Incoming invoice)
Workflow template: WS 20000397
The triggering event for the workflow template is IncomingInvoice.blockedPrice (Invoice item blocked due to price variance).

Price variance workflow for blocked invoices in MM purchasing

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing price variance workflow for blocked invoices. We built a custom workflow to
take care of the routing requirement of the customer.
We also did necessary customization defining the tolerance limits for price variance. Before testing the workflow wanted to check events in SWEL and its is found that system doesn't raise any event for price/ quantity block and hence the workflow is not triggered at all.
Event trace active flag is set in SWELS. I am not able to figure out what we are missing.The invoice gets created correctly with the price/quantity blocks and blocked invoices are available when we see in Tcode 'MRBR'.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hello,
So you are absolutely sure the event trace is on. If you try SWUE with some other event, you see the entry in SWEL, dated a few minutes ago, correct?
When you try SWUE with BUS2081.BlockedPrice does it give any message?
Does SWUE work with any other BUS2081 event?

Block invoices for PO with no GR-based IV flag

Hello SAP experts,
I need your help with finding a way to block invoices for PO with no GR-based IV flag. At our company, we treat service POs almost the same as material POs (to avoid receipt of service entry). The only difference from material PO is that service PO does not have the flag for GR. We customized our EBP to have this done.
Now, accounting wants to automatically block all invoices associate with service POs. In this case it would be a PO with no GR. I tried LIV configuration but it is only for price, quantity and etc. I also tried blocking with IR before GR but it didn't work because there is no GR.
Is there a way to achive automatic invoice block in this case?
Appreciate your help.

Hi Annie,
if the configuration doesn't help you enough, you would have to add some custom logic after the invoice has been created.
Technically speaking, I believe there exists a business add-in (BAdI) where you could enter a piece of code which would after the invoice creation check the GR and block it if appropriate. Another implementation option would be a mini-workflow - there you would have a step which checks the GR existence and blocks the invoice.
Hope this helps, I suggest talking to your local abap consultant for more details,

Post blocked invoices

I have configured the system to post invoices and everything is working fine. For invoices with no PO reference we will like to block those invoices in ECC and will like to let AP guys release the payment. How can we achieve that.

Problem in invoice workflow

Hi Friends:
There is an invoice. Its completely approved through the workflow but still its not released from workflow. The last step is 'Release header & line item of MIRO.....'. When I see, it shows from WF-ADMIN....background job created...then its stuck....when i check in MIR4, there is a payment block on the invoice....the block is 'Workflow'. How to remove this block so that the invoice can be released for payment?
Thanks in advance.

Check the WF log, it seems that some background job it is trying to perform and not able to complete. May be authorization issue.

Logistics Invoice workflow

Hi All,
          Requirement is for a Logistics Invoice Workflow
          triggered when 1> Price variance block(P) 2>Qty variance block (Q)
                                3> when GR not found --- dont know which event this raises
          Also 1 invoice can have associated multiple PO's . The PO's can have different buyers . So the buyers should be sent the workitem with only the details of the Po's that he is responsible for . Also if there is both a qty block and a price block then he should receive just 1 workitem . I don't think they require functionality as in workflow WS20000397 where the workflow automates the change / delete/verify actions and if change is selected then loops through the PO's in the change mode allowing to change price . This functionality will be performed manually , so the workflow itself is more like a notification .
           This is how I was thinking of tackling this .
           1. Get the list of blocked work items for the current invoice into a multiline.
           2. Get the buyers for each invoice line item via the associated PO Litem
               into another multiline
           3. Get a list of buyers from pt 2 and remove duplicates . move into another multiline .
           4. call a subworkflow ( once for each line of the multine for buyers ) .
           5. This subworkflow will get the line items belonging to the buyer
               it will then call a task which will list the line items ( similar to bus2081-LISTBLOCKEDPRICEITEMDATA ). might have to create another method for LISTBLOCKEDQTYTEMDATA and call the task based on whichever event is called . I don't know in which category would the no GR created block fall under ?
The work item can also contain object references for Invoice and each of the PO's so that he can view them as links and display the invoice and PO's .
               The task will be completed by a invoice.released event , but if so then all the buyers will have to wait for the invoice has been released . maybe I can check if the relevant workitems have been unblocked . If not then send him another workitem . If the user chooses to reject the workitem the requirement is sent to the Accounting clerk which is fine .The workitem will remain in his inbox until he manually completes the workitem .
               I hope this would work . The only thing I'm not very clear is how I can get a single workitem for both qty & price variances if they occur at the same time as they are 2 different events and will create 2 different workflows ?
Any ideas let me know .

Hi Radha,
You can trigger a single workflow from different events. Even in this case it will create two workflow instances for the different events that are triggered. I guess you will have to wirte a small function module which can check for the PO properties. If it has both then you can run the workflow for any one branch. This is what comes to my mind.
For the GR not present scenario you can just have a workflow once an Invoice is created and then run the workflow only if the GR is not present. You can have a check function module for that too.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

Payment block and workflow

Dear Expert,
Could you tell me what is the relationship between workflow and payment block ?
when I enter payment block 'B' (Blocked for payment) in accounting document, message box appear "There are no workflows
that have already work with this object but when I enter payment block 'P'(Payment Request ) the workflow are defined.
Are the any config related to workflow and payment block?
Could you tell me please..
Thanks and Regards,
YL

Hi Ylee,
Three clarifications from my side in response to your process -
1) Through IMG ---> Material Management ---> Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Incoming Invoice ---> Define Mail to Purchasing When Price Variance Occur, you can be able to set up the message determination so that the related message will be automatically sent to the buyer's inbox as soon as there is any variance between PO price and invoiced amount;
2) Secondly, it is true that once change is made in the PO, the blocked invoice shall also be released through another transaction MRBR.
3) You can also technically define the small difference transaction/event key DIF for automatic posting in case of small difference.
Given your pre-defined process, I would believe that any workflow, once being activated, shall consist of three main steps -
1) The e-mail notification shall be triggered and sent to buyer as soon as there is any variance;
2) Once change is made in PO via ME22N transaction, the workflow will be then forwarded to A/P clerk (invoice creator) so as to either run MRBR transaction or manually remove the payment block indicator;
3) Once this is completed, the e-mail notification will be sent to the buyer (and other related parties, if any) confirming the successful invoice posting.

Non PO Invoice Workflow - Error while Posting Document

Hi Experts
Hope I am posting this in the right forum as I am new to SDN!
We have customized a multi-level non PO invoice workflow which triggers at the time of clicking 'Save as Completed' in tcode FV60.
It has been configured to automatically post the document once it is approved at all the required levels. However, the document cannot be posted even after it receives all levels of approval. The status shows as 'Complete' but the error message shown is 'No Amount Authorization for Customer/Vendor in Company Code' in the workflow screen (MSGID F5, MSGNO 155).
Now as I understand, this is the error for maintenance of user ID in tolerance groups. However, all user IDs have already been maintained and no matter who parks the document, the same error appears in the workflow screen.
We have no idea whether this is happening due to some missing config from FI side or WF side.
Regards

Hi
Go to Tcode: OBA3 Assign tolerance group under your company code and give all limits for each group. If you done this one your properly your problem should solve.

Extractor For VENDOR Blocked Invoices

I have a requirement to create a report for Vendor aging report for Blocked invoices
for which I need to do data modelling first.
My questions are as follows
1) I found extractor 0FI_AP_4 for Vendor Line items. but I need following fields
who blocked the invoice and on what date the invoice is blocked
pls see tcode fb03 for an eg.
Note this is only for vendor invoices

Hello Syed,
Classification data for objects like material or vendor needs to pulled through classification data sources which needs to created specifically through transaction CTBW.
I am not sure whak kind of information you are looking for...but if it is the information about classification then it has to be created.
You can just make a search on classification data sources as there are numerous threads about it.
If its just classification characteristics like vendor type then you can look for master data sources for these objects.
Thanks
Ajeet

Report of blocked invoices

Hello,
Is there any standard report where the blocked invoices are displayed?
I mean here invoices not only from MM modules but from FI module as well.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Miroslav

Hello Miroslav,
Use Transaction MR02 (up to Release 4.6B) or MRBR (as of Release 4.6C)
to display the invoices that are blocked for payment.
Please check also note 333930 for explanation of other cases.
There is no update from FB02 into RBKP-ZLSPR or RBKP_BLOCKED, it means
that if you block or unblock FI document in FB02 the data on MM side
are not changed.
In other words, if you have set the payment block in FB02 then system will not display those invoice in MRBR. Reason is if an invoice is blocked in FB02, it will have to be released on the FI side and there is no requirement to release it through MRBR. This is the standard behavior. Please refer the following notes also.

I hope it helps you

List of blocked invoices purchase group wise

Hi experts
Any standard reports available for blocked invoices purchase group wise ? Wht is the Tcode for that?

Hi,
Check the Table RBKP_BLOCKED

Message no. M8657, The list of blocked invoices is incomplete

Hi Experts,
The MRBR report is processed to list all invoices in Release block, however it is in-complete and SAP displays an information message to alert this.
This means that there are blocked invoices in SAP that users are unaware of and this could result in invoices being paid late.
Can you let me know why MRBR doesn't list all invoices in Release block and what action needs to be taken to rectify this.
We are facing this probelm in ECC 6.0
Can you please look into this and confirm why this is happening.
Many thanks
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
You can probably have a look at OSS note: Note 777367 - MRBR: Job terminates.
Symptom
You define a background processing job in several processing steps for the report RM08RELEASE. If no list is created during the first step, the system terminates the job, even though there are still more steps to be carried out.
Kind Regards,
Prakash
