CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE indicator in SRM PO

Hi all,
Can someone explain me the significance of the check box "CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE" indicator under follow on documents tab in PO in ECS .
Why is this indicator not changeable after the follow on docs are created for the PO?

Hi,
If you have already performed confirmation to the ECS PO, then it is right you cannot change the indictor anymore. The invoicing is dependent on the status that GR must already be happened which is stated by the PO checkbox.
You may like to read [OSS note 1536971 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1536971] for more explanation.

Change GR based Invoice Indicator after GR

Dear Experts,
We have a PO for which GR is done . So, the GR based Invoice indicator is greyed out in Invoice Tab of ME22N.
We need to uncheck this for a business purpose. How can I uncheck this Indicator? Revesring GR is is not an option for me as I have WM and HU nterface and cancelling TO and Deliveries will be time consuming.
Is there a solution available to uncheck teh GR based Inv indicator in such scenario?
Please revert
Regards,
Shashidhar

Hi,
Not Possible unless you Reverse the GR. Even after reversing the GR also, it should not allow.
The only option is cancel GR, mark PO line item for deletion and create new PO or add ne line item in the same PO and then do further activities by deactivating "GR based IV" indicator.

GR based IV indicator changes

Hi,
We are on SRM 5.0 SP12,ECS.
For material PO's ,the indicators GR_IND and IR_IND is not set and no follow on docs exist for the PO than GR_BASEDIV can be modified in SRM PO.
However if one of the indicators is set,can the GR_BASEDIV be changed in SRM PO?
Also for one of our PO's,when the IR_IND is set and if we try to change/uncheck the GR_BASEDIV in SRM PO,the changes are not replicated to ECC.When I manually run the FM for the PO transfer,the changes are than transported to ECC.
Can someone advise why the changes for the GR_BASEDIV are not replicated to ECC in the first attempt??
Thanks.

Thanks Muthu for the prompt response!I am too working on this issue and would like to clarify more on this:
The behaviour which we see currently in our system:
Buyer create PO in SRM ...at this time,all the Flags under follow on documents link at item level in PO i.e. INVOICE RECEIPT,CONFIMRATION BASED INVOICE INDICATOR,Confirm Performance of Service/Goods Receipt all three are checked/ticked.PO replicated successfully with same data for indicators to ECC.
Now when Buyer changes SRM PO to uncheck the two GR indicators i.e.Confirmation-Related Invoice Verification and Confirm Performance of Service/Goods Receipt ,then SRM PO gets changed but the changes are not successfully replicated to ECC and SRM PO goes into status "Error in Process".
NOTE : All these PO's have no follow on docs created yet.
As per the notes you provided,the behaviours in case of SRM PO change i.e. the Buyer able to uncheck the two GR indicators from SRM is not expected as the std behaviour...Considering this ,do you suggest we apply all the relevant notes for this GR indicator issue?
Also I had one questions regardsing the names of these GR indicators...Are the table fields GR_IV, IR_IV and GR_BASEDIV corresponding to screen fields "Confirm Performance of Service/Goods Receipt " , "INVOICE RECEIPT" and CONFIMRATION BASED INVOICE INDICATOR respectively???
We are on SRM 5.0 SP12.,ECS.
Thanks again for your time!You are the best!

Service based Invoice in PO

Dear all,
I had a problem in service based invoice in Purchase Order. When i created a po without checked service based invoice. When I SES then i revoke it. I cant checked service based invoice in ME22N. its become grey field. But GR-Based Invoice not grey.
Regards,
Icuk Hertanto

Hi ,
Service Based Invoice Indicator can be mandatory through Vendor Master Purchasing Data View.........As per my knowledge you can make editable field Service Based Invoice indicator in ME22n throuh - IMG- Material Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Define Screen Layout at Document Level then select PT9F (Service item, PO) and the select GR/IR Control option & make otional field "GR-based invoice verification" .
Hope it will help...
Thanks

Service Based Invoice Verification

In the PO,
thru screen layout you can make service based IV as display ,so user cannot modify it.But the requirement is the indicator has to be activated by defualt and under display mode.
One way is to do it throught the vendor master record , by activating the indicator there.
Is there any other way through sceen layout where the Sr-based IV is active by default and unmodifiable.?

Hi,
The determination of display behaviour of service-based invoice indicator is based on the field content faus3 of table
T162 for selection key PT9F. The 6th position value in field FAUS3 determines whether indicator will be in display ( value = .), suppressed( value = - ) or required (value +).
Check also note 30316 for additional keys.

SRM PO failed: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed

Hi Friends,
I have an issue with a specific PO failed to transfer from SRM to ECC. We are in ECS scenario, SRM 5.0 Service level 7.0. We are in process of SP upgrade but this issue occured in Production system which is still in old SP level(SP 7.0).
when I check the App Monitor, I am see the following errors: but the status shows Auto_Completed
1. PO: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed
2. PO: Instance XXXXXXXXXX of object type PurchaseOrder could not be changed
3. PurchOrder XXXXXXXXXX: Purchase order still contains faulty items
4. PO XXXXXXXX: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed
I can see the PO copied over to ECC. but status in SRM PO shows 'Error in Process'.
BBP_PD for object PO shows: Created, complete, ordered, In Transfer to Execute, Change was Transmitted as Inactive status. Transfer Failed shows Active, Document completed, created.
I checked BP Maintain for the vendor and PO and its no different than other POs and Vendors except Vendor had 'Goods Receipt based Invoice Verification' indicator checked in SRM.
I tried to simulate the same Material, Vendor with GR-IV indicator both on and off, it works fine. Ofcourse this is in Quality box with SP 15 level.
So, I am not sure if SP level upgrade might help it or not? If there are any other means to test, please advise.
thanks
Rao

I was wondering how I could liquidate the PO by either creating a new PO or ??.
What you could do to revive the PO in question is that after the upgrade, and after a round of background jobs run for CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2, ask the buyer to make a dummy change to the PO (for example, change the description of the PO) and order again. This would trigger the transfer to the backend again. And hopefully this time, no error would occur.

PO - GR based Invoice Verification/ IR Indicator

Hi,
I am facing a problem with the IR indicator in PO. The scenario is a SC is created, a PO is created automatically out of the SC and then a GR confirmation has to be done against the PO. I am using a service product.
In the vendor master, I have set the "Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification" indicator and "Invoice Receipt Expected" indicator.
Now, if I create PO manually then these 2 indicators are defaulted into the PO follow-on documents indicator values. However, when the PO is created automatically from the SC only the IR expected indicator is set so I am not able to create a confirmation against the PO.
The same way, if I set the "Invoice Receipt Expected" indicator and "Indicator:GR Conf.Expectd" indicator in the vendor master then only the "Indicator:GR Conf.Expectd" is set in the PO (created from SC) and not the IR indicator.
Can someone suggest to me what could the problem be since a manual creation of PO picks up the indicator values from the vendor but it does not when created from a SC?
Many Thanks,
Saravanan.

Service-Based Invoice Verification indicator setup automatically

Hi,
How to get the Service-Based Invoice Verification indicator setup automatically when a user tries to create a PO. There is no service master being setup for the sevices carried out.
Bascially the requisiitons are created through Projects based on the services performed and when the PO is created for the same the users forgets to have this indicator checked because of which there are problems which arises going ahead.
We would like to have this indicator setup automatcially so that even if the user - Buyer forgets we dont get problems going ahead.
Answers for this question will be highly appreciated.
regards,
Andy

Hi
You need to set this indicator in vendor master, however if you do not enter item category as D, it will not come default in purchase order. Checking the service based IV in vendor master indicates IV can be done for that vendor with reference to services.
Thanks

Indicator: GR-Based Invoice Verification not flaged by default in a PO

Hi experts
The flag Indicator "GR-Based Invoice Verification" is set in suppliers informations. And so when we create a purchase order, the flag is automatically checked in the item.
Is it possible to make the flag with blank value (without modify values in suppliers infos) with conditons : depending on the document type ?
Thank you for your response.
Peggy.

GR Based IV comes from vender master or from Inforecord for combination of material + Vender.
For, Material Type u can not control....As IV belong to Vender.
Hope Help U !

Final invoice indicator for Service based IV

Hello,
For invoice verification based on Service entry, the system proposes the final invoice indicator checked. I'm trying to uncheck this indicator as in our case, vendors usually sends partial invoices.
We have FM implemented and applied Link: [note 583400 MIRO: EREKZ always proposed with services|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lcyZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=583400] and it solved part of our issue, as leaving the commitment in the PO, but we need to find a way to unmark the indicator on MIRO so the GR - IV account is not cleared after a partial invoice.
I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to approach this scenario.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Bharat,
The indicator of the PO is set after this indicator on the invoice. It is actually a result of the IV unless you apply the note 583400.
What I need is that this indicator to be unchecked for Service items with service entry.

Confirmation/ Invoice Scenarios in SRM 4.0

Dear SRMers,
Greetings!!
I am doing research on the following and appreciate any inputs:
System Info: SRM 4.0, Classic Scenario, R/3 4.6c
a.)Can we delete a confirmation if Invoice is not created for both Service and Material items?
b.)Can we do a return delivery if invoice is not created for both service and Material Items?
c.)Can we delete a confirmation if Invoice is created for both Service and Material items?
d.)Can we do a return delivery if invoice is created for both service and Material Items?
I know confirmations can be deleted in held/ or in approval process when an invoice is not created
Points will be rewarded for useful answers..
Thanks.

Hello Raj,
As per my understanding, here is answers:
a) NO - once document is posted you can't delete - however you can dor return.
b) YES
c) NO
d) NO

GR Based Invoice Verifcation indicator

Hello All,
In the PO GR based Iv indicator is set. It is not selected in Vendor master and InfoRecord.
Can anyone expalin the possibility of the indicator set.
Thanks

Hi!
please check the documentation for this field also.
Indicator: GR-based invoice verification
Indicator specifying that provision has been made for
goods-receipt-based invoice verification for a purchase order item or
invoice item.
Use
This field controls the default value for goods receipt-based invoice
verification when an info record is created and - if no info record
exists - when a purchase order is created.    >
If this field is selected:
the field "GR-based invoice verification" is preselected in the info
record when such a record is created for this vendor. (Note: if you
change the selection in the vendor master record, the info record does
not change automatically);
the field "GR-based invoice verification" is preselected in the order
item field when a purchase order is created for this vendor if no info
record exists for the vendor and the ordered material.
Another thing that is important, is that the default field value is
controled in dependency of the flags invoice receipt/goods receipt.
(If one of these or both flags would not be set, than it could be that
the field goods-receipt-based invoice verification is deleted)
This means that the flag goods-receipt-based invoice verification is
just set, when both (IR and GR) also are proposed, as just in this case
goods-receipt-based invoice verification makes sense.
Best regards
Erika
