Dispute case against closed invoice / without invoice reference

Dear experts,
We are currently implementing SAP and FSCM in an EMEA enviroment and one of the issues we are encountering with FSCM is that you can't (according to my advisors) raise a dispute case within FSCM against an invoice that has already been paid. Also you can't raise a dispute case for a dispute that has no invoice reference.
So the question is simple: is this correct? For me this is a surprise and a minus as we have frequent cases where customers raise a dispute against a closed invoice without deducting or having the possibility to deduct (inactive account) the disputed balance.
If this is the case are there any other options to raise a dispute and track and report on it?
Thank you very much for your input.
Kind regards,
Nico

Hi Nico, there is an option to raise disputes over paid invoices: Customer disputed objects.
This functionality was released with Ehp2, and has some differences with the traditional Disputed objects, for example, there is no process integration available.
Best regards,
Cristobal Fuentealba.

  • Entire Invoices without PO reference in the standalone scenario

    Can we entire Invoices without PO reference, if we use the standalone scenario?
    We tried to entire Invoice without PO reference by user with role «Accountant», but we can’t did it. System massage: «Vendor number 111 not maintained in backend system» - but we have no backend system, we use the standalone scenario.
    Maybe, we can’t do it at all in our case?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Marina,
    You must maintain a purchasing view for this vendor, via "Maintain business partner", for your local purch org.

  • Invoice without PO reference

    Hi ,
    I  want to post an invoice to a  G/L account,without PO referance. when i am trying to crate an invoice without PO,it is
    giving an error message as " ener PO number".  Please explain is there any settings required....to solve this problem.

    Hi,
    Materials Management under Logistics Invoice Verification u2192 Incoming Invoice u2192 Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
    When you create an invoice containing only items without reference to a PO, the system cannot copy any information (such as currency or invoicing party) from the purchase order. This means that in addition to the document date and the amount, you first have to enter the following information in the header data:
    1. On the Basic data tab page: Currency
    2. On the Payment tab page: Baseline payment date
    3. On the Detail tab page: Invoicing party
    Finally, you enter the item data on the G/L Account and Material tab pages.
    Hope HElp U !

  • Count Invoices without Invoice Drill-Down

    I have a requirement to count the number of invoices by  posting period and vendor, for invoices that are less than a certain amount (say $500). I intend to get this data from the standard AP line item cube. Seems like it should be simple.
    I can do this as long as I list each invoice (reference) in the workbook, and activate an exception. However, there are enough invoices to run out of rows in Excel.
    How can I do the count, and only display the subtotals by period and vendor, and the total for the entire time frame?
    I tried displaying the Posting Period, Vendor and Reference as a Hierarchy and then setting the expansion level to Vendor, but the 'Calculate Results as' is not invoked with the <$500 Condition activated.
    I also tried using a formula variable, replacement path on the reference:
    Variable defined as follows:
    Type: Formula
    Variable Name: ZFA0REFD
    Description: Ref. Doc. No. Repl. Path
    Processing by: Replacement Path
    Characteristic: Reference (0REF_DOC_NO)
    Replace Variable With: Attribute Value
    Attribute: Characteristic Reference (Constant 1)
    For Intervals Use: From Value
    Offset Start & Offset Length: left blank
    Evaluate as "Boolean" (Value 0 or 1) not selected
    Variable used in formula (local to query) to count non-zero amounts less than $500, formula syntax as follows:
    ( 'Credit amt in LC < 500 ) * ( 'Credit amt in LC  <> 0 ) * 'Ref. Doc. No. Repl. Path'
    Using the logic as described above, I get correct counts only if I have drill-down to the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level.
    If I remove the drill-down to the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level, leaving rows only for Fiscal Period (0FISCPER) and Vendor (0CREDITOR), then the evaluation on amounts <> 0 and <500 is done at the Vendor (0CREDITOR) level, not at the Reference (0REF_DOC_NO) level. 
    I have also tried counting with the drilldown by reference number, with a Condition applied, with no suppression of repeated key values, and with no supression of result rows. I was able to then apply Excel Auto Filter to the entire results area, selecting only the rows with "Result" of blank in the Reference characteristic column. This way only the sub-total and total rows appear in the spreadsheet.
    I still have problems though with running out of rows in Excel (we process more than 70,000 invoices per month).
    Please advise if any of you can think of a better solution that will work. I need to do this in a query -- I cannot modify the infocube.
    I did do a forum search, and all I could find is how to add a count calculated key figure to the infocube. I need to do this at the query level.
    Any clues will be much appreciated. (BW3.5 SP15 BEx deployment only - no web).

    One of the 3rd-party Crystal Report viewers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality (but it requires you add some formulas to the report to enable that behavior).
    You can see a video demonstration at: [In-Place Drill Down|http://www.milletsoftware.com/Download/DLV_InPlace_DrillDown.wmv]

  • Invoice without reference to PO in SUS

    Dear Experts,
    As you know SRM does not support creation of invoice without any reference to the Purchase Order. However, I get to see the option of creating manual invoice (invoice without reference to the PO) in SUS.
    Now, I created a my SUS test system an invoice without any reference to PO with contact person taken from SRM Buyer/manager.
    The document is successfully sent from SUS.
    However, I donot see any approval task for the buyer.
    So, What can be the possible cases? Is it that SUS manual invoice is only for ERP MM system?
    Thanks and regards,

  • Creating invoice and posting  with FB60 (Without PO reference)

    Hi All,
    I need to create vendor invoice (without PO reference) as we do using FB60.
    How it can be done?
    Is there any BAPI which can be used ?
    I have used BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE to create vendor invoice with PO reference.
    Is the same BAPI we can use for creating invoice without PO reference? how to use ? or any other solution.
    Thank you very much....

    Hi Ashvender,
    Thanks for Replying....
    You are right we create IV with PO reference using MIRO and
    We create FI invoice by FB60 i.e without PO reference. But i want to upload data from excel sheet for without PO reference for FB60 as per given template below
    <b>Invoices with no reference to PO - FB60 format</b>
    Vendor       Date         reference        header txt    Bus area    G/L account

  • Dispute case for a credit note

    To get approvals for a customer refund, I want to use dispute cases. To make this work, I will have to create dispute cases for open credit notes from customer line items (FBL5N). However, I get an error message 'Dispute case cannot be created without receivable'
    Do I need to define a new case type to be able to create a dispute case for a credit note?
    Cheers

    Hi Vicky,
    A dispute can not only include a credit note.
    There has to be a debit accounting document in the dispute as well.
    If a customer wanted a refund you have two options:
    1 - You can dispute the original invoice or invoices, and then raise a credit note and attach that to the dispute. The customer will then pay the invoices and take the credit note.
    2 - You can create a customer disputed object. This allows you to create a dispute without reference to an invoice. You can then attach the credit note to the dispute.

  • Dispute Case

    Hi All,
    I have gone through SAP traning for FSCM Credits, Collections and Dispute mgt. I have few basic questions. Could someone please answer these-
    1. Dispute case can be initaited by anyone - either Customer or User/authorized employee of the organization? It is not all the time the Customer disputing against us, even we can dispute the customer for not paying.
    2. SAP provides program for automatic creation of dispue cases in DM based on residual items created in AR. This is a standard program? Any further detials about the program - prg name, functionality, if i add more parameters to it etc?
    Regards,
    Satya

    1. Dispute case can be initaited by anyone - either Customer or User/authorized employee of the organization? It is not all the time the Customer disputing against us, even we can dispute the customer for not paying.
    Disputes can be initiated automatically or manually. If you have Biller direct, then the customer could create a dispute case himself, other way the dispute will be create by a clerk or automatically due to process integration.
    2. SAP provides program for automatic creation of dispue cases in DM based on residual items created in AR. This is a standard program? Any further detials about the program - prg name, functionality, if i add more parameters to it etc?
    Yes, there is an standard program for this. Transaction FDM_AUTO_CREATE
    3. Debits can be included in a dispute case as "Disputed items". All other items (credits, clearances) are entered as "Customer-disputed objects". How do i do the seperation? Is there a seperate button for each or the system picks up automatically?
    No, you can create Customer-disputed objects over credits or any other item, however if a normal dispute case was created over an invoice in the linked object section you will find the documents related to it. By the way, customer disputed objects are not create automatically.
    4. Multiple invoices can be created as one dispute case? Or one invoice - one dispute case?
    Only Customer disputed objects.

  • Dispute Case - Linked Objects- Various- URL

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to create a Dispute Case through a custom interface program. We have been doing this using BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE.
    Now, I need to programmatically link a URL to Dispute Case -> Linked Objects->Various->URL. An custom element type for u2018URLu2019 was configured in the Registry for this in our SAP system.
    This is usually achieved programatically using the tables parameter OBJECTS of the BAPI. We have to pass the OBJ TYPE & KEY to this parameter.
    Since configuration does not allow the BOR_TYPE to be defined on tab u2018Connection Parametersu2019 of the Element Type URL in the Registry, what OBJTYPE and KEY works for this?
    Thanks,
    Smitha/Aneel

    Hello Andy,
    I have a question. We're also trying to use BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE in order to create dispute cases, but the function needs a unique GUID number in order to create the dispute case. How did you manage to maintain this guid number?
    Because of this problem, we started using the function UDM_DC_CREATE, which generates a GUID itself, if you do not maintain one.
    Sorry for the inconveince, the problem was because of a wrong attribute, I can create a dispute case with this function without maintaining the guid id.

  • In my work  flow Invoice Details not geting  when Dispute case created?

    Hai Experts,
                          Im Working on Dispute case Workflow in FSCM module , I Created custom workflow for that ,
    when ever Disputecase created notification send to Processor and Coordinator for that i created one Zclass
    write the one of the that Zclass method for sending  the mail to processor and coordinator for those mail Id's,
    Its working fine but the problem is on that mail i have to send the Invoice details also ,
    for that im using the fm  'UDM_GET_BOR_OBJECT_KEY_INVOICE ' this FM not geting the data when dispute case is created,
    its working in foreground and background, but the problem is in workflow it  is not geting the invoice details.
    please help me on this,,,
    thanks in adv..

    Hello,
    "I Debug the FM, its throughs the Error
    'No Configuration for the wrokflow Wfno version 0000'."
    I doubt very much that the FM is showing that error. I assume you mean the workflow log.
    The step that calls the task that calls the method that calls that FM, is that the one with that error message?
    First check that the FM works in SE37 with the same inputs as when called from the workflow, and if it gives the expected output.
    Try replacing that step with a different one to make sure there's no problem with the workflow itself. Make sure the workflow is activated without errors and do SWU_OBUF.

  • Invoice without reference

    Hello
    When i make invoice without reference, and do enter the following details:
    invoice as doc type
    date
    and then i try to press the G/L account or material tab
    system is showing a message : Enter at least one allocation item with PO reference
    How to proceed??

    Hello PSP,
    This is standerd SAP & logically it is right. You have to select sumthing as a reference e.g if you dont want to post against PO then atl;east you have to select Vendor for whom you are posting the invoice. Then only system will allow you to enter material or G/L account.
    Because o some how vendor need to be selected for invoice posting.
    Hope this clarifies the matter.

  • Is There any API in receivables payment will made against closed invoices ?

    Hi ALL,
    i have requirement as below.
    i am doing AR Invoice Data Migration for Instance 11.5.5 (as a Source Instance) to the new instance R12 (as a target instance).
    Both open and closed invoices will have to be migrated from 11.5.5 to R12 to provide the drill down facility for audit purpose.
    To meet the above requirement all the open and closed invoice will be picked up from 11.5.5 ; and imported into R12..
    Subsequently, full payment will be made in R12 against all closed invoices in 11.5.5 to close those invoices by using any APIs?
    can some one explain is there any API in receivables payment will made against closed invoices.
    Thanks,
    VSR.

    Hi,
    Can you be clear on your question: You want any API to make payment against closed invoices?
    To me, You are making things complex. We can achieve the Migration of Closed invoices using following two procedures:
    Procedure: 1
    Ask Functional Guy to create a Transaction Type 'Closed Invoices' with Open to Receivables Flag not checked. +(You can uncheck Post to GL flag also, if required depending on your migration strategy)+. Status at Transaction Type if taken as 'Closed' it will be appropriate.
    Invoices migrated using this Transaction Type shall not be shown as Outstanding but will be useful for Audit.
    Procedure: 2
    Consider the amount due Original of Closed Invoices and migrate them with the amount as Amount due remaining.
    While migrating populate Receipt Method,Payment Method and Instruments useful for Automatic Receipts.
    Once Create Automatic Receipts Program is run, it will close all these invoices. Note: We require dummy bank here which points to a Clearing account.
    Automatic Receipts program is also an API.
    In the above 2 ways, we are acheiving the Goal by using Functional knowledge rather than Technical. And I think following Functional way is better and less time consuming.
    Please discuss with your Functional consultant if required. You can succeed.
    Regards,
    Sridhar
