Double invoice issue

Hi,
We have an internal vendor and so automatic invoice verification is implemented against the said internal vendor. However, the issue is there is a double invoice for some of the invoice refrence numbers. Check box for checking double inovice is already in place in the vendor master. Inspite of that there are double invoices for some of the invoice reference numbers.
I checked the settings in OMRDC and there are 3 fields checked - company code, document date and invoice reference number.
Point to be noted is the document date of the duplicated invoice reference numbers are different. I suspect that the invoices have been interfaced twice from the legacy. However, I need to check with the legacy team for the same.
Say for example:
Invoice 5555 is posted against invoice reference number 1234 for vendor XYZ on document date 28.12.2011.
Invoice 6666 is posted against invoice reference number 1234 for vendor XYZ on document date 11.01.2012.
In the above scenario - does it mean that the double invoice could go thorugh as the system checks the settings based on the combination of invoice refernce number and document date (for vendor vendor XYZ).
In other words - is it because the system found IV reference number 1234 on different dates that double invoicing could go though.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Soujanya.

Hi,
Ok...inspite of having same invoice refrence number - as they were interfaced on different dates, it has not checked for double invoice. In that case, to avoid such things to happen - I hope I should uncheck the document date in OMRDC and just retain invoice reference numbers and company code.
As far as the account key is concerned - ERL postings do not happen here as this is a case of purchases. However, could you suggest what is MRRL and where can I find it. And what is the siginificance of MRRL in GR.
Regards,
Soujanya.

Check double invoice with GL account and Reference field

Dear SAP GURU's,
I am very new to SDN. I have one query.
I know we have the option of control double invoice against Vendor/Customer by using reference field. But here my client is asking that control has to be from GL account and reference field, becoz some times he will receive the shipping bills 3 or 4 times agianst one billing document ( i am booking Transporter Vendor invoice by using FB60) with same bill number but expense GL's will be different most of the times. Some times knowingly or unknowingly same GL Expenditure account will be repeated with the same shipping bill number. This was happend most of the times.
So can i know how can i get the GL account and Reference field checking and error message for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Shobha.

Dear Shobha,
I feel that having a check on GL is not a good idea. If your client insists you can go for an exit or BTE.
We used BTE to have the same functionality of Logistics for FI documents also in our office.
Duplicate Invoice check process documentation is given below for your ready reference --

Check Flag for Double Invoices or Credit Memos
Indicator which means that incoming invoices and credit memos are checked for double entries at the time of entry.
Use
Checking Logistics documents
Firstly, the system checks whether the invoice documents have already been entered in the Logistics invoice verification; the system checks invoices that are incorrect, or invoices that were entered for invoice verification in the background.
Checking FI documents
The system then checks whether there are FI or Accounting documents that were created with the original invoice verification or the Logistics verification, and where the relevant criteria are the same.
Checking Logistics documents
In checking for duplicate invoices, the system compares the following characteristics by default:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross amount of the invoice
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If all of these characteristics are the same, the system issues a message that you can customize.
When you enter credit memos or subsequent adjustments, the system does not check for duplicate invoices.
Exception: Country-specific solution for Argentina, where invoices and credit memos are checked for duplicate documents.
No message is issued if you enter a document that has previously been reversed.
Dependencies
The system only checks for duplicate invoices in Materials Management if you enter the reference document number upon entering the invoice.
In Customizing for the Logistics invoice verification, you can specify that the following characteristics should not be checked:
Reference document number
Invoice document date
Company code
This means that you can increase the likelihood that the system will find a duplicate invoice, because you can reduce the number of characteristics checked.
Example
The following document has already been entered and posted:
Reference document number: 333
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Munich
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
The field "Reference document number" and "Company code" are deselected, which means that these characteristics will not be checked.
Now you enter the following document:
Reference document number: 334
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Berlin
Result
Because you entered a reference document when you entered the invoice, the system checks for duplicate invoices.
The reference document number and the company code are different from the invoice entered earlier, but these characteristics are not checked due to the settings you have made in Customizing.
All other characteristics are the same. As a result, the system issues a message that a duplicate entry has been made.
If the "Reference document number" had been selected in Customizing, the system would have checked the document and discovered that it was different from the invoice entered earlier, so it would not have issued a message.
Checking FI documents
Depending on the entry in the field "Reference", one of the following checks is carried out:
1. If a reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Reference number
2. If no reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Amount in document currency

Double Invoice Check - Against the Delivery Note/ Bill #

Dear All,
I have a requirement here, Bit different from the Regular Double Invoice Check,
I will receive the Material A, 10 different times, will do the GR 10 times & enter the Bill # & Challan # during GR. While posting the Invoice i want the system to check against which Bill # i am posting the invoice. Say during GR my Bill #s were 1 to 10. I receive the Invoice from my Vendor from 1 to 5 today, so i posted the invoice. After few days He will send a duplicate Invoice with Bill # as 5, & he will inform me that he lost original Invoice so he is sending the duplicate. As i have'nt posted Bill # 6 to 10, system will accept the Bill 5 also again. How can i avoid these things ?
regds,
CB

Hi,
Already I am maintaining these Bill # & Delivery Challan # during GR. My issue is during Invoice i want a check. In Invoice we have a reference field at header, If i am posting a single GR as a single invoice thats OK. But if I am posting more than 1 GR in single Invoice, where can i maintain the Bill # ? Any solutions pls ?
regds,

Double invoice entry at the FI Level

Where do I go in the FI level not to allow double invcoice entry.
Thanks

Hi Ana,
sorry for the late reply.
For the FI check, there is no specific setup. Only thing you need is to set the corresponding flag in the vendor master (company code view). Then, if the prerequsites are met (see below), a warning message will appear.
How the check is working in FI? (ie., FB01, FB60 or similar, NOT logistics invoice verification, for LIV, see below):
1. Is this a vendor line (account type K)?
2. Is the flag set in the vendor master?
3. Is the line item sales relevant (based on the posting key, e.g., 31 is sales relevant, 25 is not)
4. Is this a normal document? (not recurring, parked, clearing, sample doc)
5. Do we know the document currency?
6. Do we know the document date?
7. Is the amount in document currency <> 0?
If the answer to all of the above was YES, then the check is carried out. What is actually checked, is table BSIP. Every time when you post a document meeting the above criteria, BSIP will be updated. Next time the BSIP entries are checked.
And here the checking rules:
IF the reference field (BKPF-XBLNR) is filled in, then the message is issued when there is a BSIP record already with the same:
- company code
- vendor number
- document date
- reference
- document date
- D/C indicator
IF the reference field is NOT filled in, in addition to the above, the amount in document currency is also checked in BSIP, so that field must match too in order to get the message.
The message is F5 117 and the type can be changed in customizing (view V_T100C) as usual for customizable messages.
The above list also answers another question in this thread: NO, it is not possible to check it cross company code. I.e. if you have entered an invoice for company code A, then you can enter the very same invoice for company code B, there will be no message at all. You need to create some validations (transaction OB28) to achieve this. The standard check is working within the same company code only, see the list above.
Now, that was the pure FI thing, how about Logistics Invoice verification (MIRO, etc.). Here, you have some more configuration options. The function module called here is MRM_FI_DOCUMENT_CHECK.
The check in Logistics Invoice Verification is carried out only if the below criteria are met:
1. Reference field is filled in (!!!!! extremely important!!!!)
2. This is an invoice (and not a credit memo... see RBKP-XRECH must be X)
3. The vendor number is known
4. The flag is set in the vendor master (company code view).
The check is made against BSIP again, but WHAT exactly is checked, i.e., which fields must match, is customizable. In table T169P, you can tell the system which fields you want to consider as indicators for a double invoice entry. You can choose from: Reference, Company code, Document date.
Here is part 2 of the answer to the previous question: YES, Logistics Invoice Verification can be set up in a way that invioces are checked cross-company code. If you do NOT mark the field company code, than this field is not checked, and the same invoice cannot be entered for 2 different company codes.
First, the system tries to find a BSIP record with the same values in the fields below:
- Vendor number
- Document currency
- Amount in document currency (this only if Reference is NOT ticked in table T169P)
- Company code (only if ticked in T169P)
- Document date (only if ticked in T169P)
- Reference (only if ticked in T169P)
If there was a BSIP entry found, message M8 108 will appear as a warning. Again, you can change the msg type to error if you like (user-specific).
Also, Logistics Invocie Verification can be a 2-step procedure: first, the invoice creation (entry in table RBKP) and second, the posting of this invoice to Accounting (entry in table BKPF). In most cases, this happens in the very same moment when you press Save in MIRO, but it could be also set up in your company that you do these 2 steps separately.
That's why after the posted invoices (BSIP) were checked, the system tries to check the invoices not yet posted to Accounting (invoice document status is "Not yet posted"). This is to make sure an entered but not yet posted invoice is also checked early enough. Basically the same fields as above are checked, but the message is a different one: M8 642. Default type is warning, changeable to Error if you like.
Hope that helps, points welcome
Csaba

Double Invoice Verification

We have a process in which we book multiple invoices of single vendor in single FI document. The issue is, double invoice verification feature works with Header Text Assignment field. If vendor sends twice the same invoice, bundled into many invoices, Document Header Assignment filed cannot be used for verification of double invoice.
Can double invoice verification work at Line Item level rather document header level?
Thanks

Hi,
you can set the flage of check double invoice verification in vendor master - Payment Transaction Accounting you can find the field.
In checking for duplicate invoices, the system compares the follow
characteristics by default:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross amount of the invoice
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If all of these characteristics are the same, then system will throw a warning message.

Configuring double invoice check for vendor invoices posted through FB60

Dear all
Can anyone tell me how to configure double invoice check for vendor invoices posted through FB60.
for miro documents..we can use Tcode OMRDC
Is there any such tcode which can be used for configuring fi invoices for double checking..
regards
Expertia

Dear Expertia,
In FI,when checking for duplicated invoices, the system compares the
following :Vendor, currency, company code, gross amount of the invoice,
reference document number and Invoice document date.
SAP Note 305201 clarifies this in a more details; please read it.
The following fields must be identical for Duplicate invoice check
     Company code                              (BUKRS)
     Vendor number                             (LIFNR)
     Currency                                  (WAERS)
     Reference number                          (XBLNR)
     Amount in document currency               (WRBTR)
     Document date                             (BLDAT)
If the document is having any one of the above filed different then the
system does not consider it as a duplicate invoice.
Also It will check duplicate invoice check in vendor master data and
in posting key is there check box selected for sales related
The setting you making in OMRDC i.e Materials management->Logistics
Invoice Verification->Incoming Invoice ->Set Check for Duplicate
Invoices is only valid for MM and not FI invoices posted via FB60/FB65
You should check the F1 help on field "Chk double inv." (LFB1-REPRF)
in the relevant vendor master record (transaction FK03).
Please also check, that message F5 117 has been set correctly in the
IMG using this path:
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings ->
Document -> Default Values for Document Processing -> Change Message
Control for Document Control For Document Processing
Finally & mainly, go to the relevant posting key is defined as sales
related in transaction OB41. You have to flag this field if the
duplicate invoice check should work.
I hope this helps You.

Double Clicking Issue Feature Or Bug

Hi All,
I've been using Mac's for over ten years and I'm experiencing an issue unlike anything I've ever seen before. I have this double-clicking issue (maybe more appropriately "accidental double-clicking issue") in certain programs.
In iTunes for example, when I choose File/Add To Library and I double-click the root folder on my external hard drive (which contains subfolders such as Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, Applications, etc..) iTunes begins to automattically import EVERYTHING on the folder without my having clicked the CHOOSE bubble. EVERYTHING!
Either I'm crazy and I'm just noticing this now or this is the most annoying bug/feature I've ever seen.
The issue also occurs in Mac The Ripper. When I went to choose a Save location and accidentally double-clicked a folder that had subfolders in it, I didn't get the opportunity to click CHOOSE. The Finder just assumed that my double-clicking a folder means that that is the folder I want to select.
I hope I'm explaining this clearly. I don't know I never noticed this "feature" before!
Is there anyway to turn it off?

There isn't anything similar between the two in a hardware sense. The two machines aren't sharing anything. I only use the Magic Mouse with the new 27" i7 iMac.
I tried to reproduce the effect in 10.5 to see if it was indeed a "feature", and it is. To a certain extent.
At this point I've come to the conclusion that this is supposed to happen, in 10.5 and 10.6 (possibly 10.4 or earlier too) when a folder and it's sub-folders contain compatible files respective to the program attempting to access them. However, I don't think it should happen when a folder contains subfolders that have files that are incompatible with the particular program that is currently being browsed.
Furthermore... I'm unable to reproduce the same issue today! This new 27" iMac i7 has been very "buggy" across the board!
Like for example;
When I first started it up, Airport and Firewire didn't appear in the Network preference pane in System Pref's. And it didn't recognize USB devices that I plugged in until I rebooted a few times.
It ran REEEEEALLLLLLY HOT! Hot like when you put your hand on the hood of a car thats been sitting in the sun. But today it seems to be running much cooler...
It also wont boot from any external hd or Disk Warrior 4.2 DVD.
But all in all it's still a pretty sweet, and crazy fast.

Double invoice check for customers

Hello,
I was surprised that there was no double invoice check functionality in AR. What I have done is in transaction OBA5, maintained the following entries:
Message type - 117
Online - E
Batchl - E
However when I put an invoice with the same reference for customer, there is no error message displayed. When I do the same for vendor invoice, it works fine. I am surprised that the functionality is active for AP and not for AR.
Is there something that I am missing? Please advise.
Regards
Keyur

Hello,
We normally use transaction VF01. However, sometime we also use transaction FB70 to post direct FI Invoices relating to rebates etc.
This is where the functionality of double invoice check will be useful.
Thanks

Double Invoice check across company code

Hi All,
I have been trying to use the double invoice check functionality across company codes. i.e. when an invoice is posted in Company code A with ref no: xxx, and when I try to post a new inovice with the same reference ie. xxx in company code B, system does not give error message.
Please note: I have maintained message in application F5, no: 117 and 312.
Also in customization for double invoice check, I have unchecked "Check Company code" and checked "check reference" and "check invoice date"
I have also maintained the double invoice check flag in the vendor master.
Please help at the earliest.
Regards,
Ankush

Hi Ankush,
Good Day,
Duplicate invoice check across company code will not check for FI related invoice ( Like FB60)
But you can able to achive this with BTE ( SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001110 for FI Duplicate invoice check)
Steps for Implementing a BTE
(1)Goto transction FIBF menu Environment->Info System (P/S )
(2)Select the BTE you want to implement.
(3)Press button Sample function module
(4)This brings you to SE37 - Copy the sample function module to a Z-function module (First create a new function group for the function module) . Note: The name of the Z-functionmodule is not important
(5)Edit the code in the new function module
(6)Go back to transaction FIBF - Menu Settings->Products -> Of a customer and create a new product whicj identifies the new product . Remember to mark the Active field.
(7)Go back to FIBF menu Settings->P/S function modules->of a customer - Create an entry that links the BTE and Product with the new function module

Create a validation for check double invoice

Hi,
I have read here on SDN for check double invoice on reference number. We want to create an warning message if same reference number is posted twice, not depending on invoice date. So if I, on 1st of October have posted an invoice with reference number 123 and then want to post with same reference number on 2nd of October I want to have an warning message. If I had understand right I need to make a validation for that. Is it true that I need to have a programmer to do that or how am I doing (one thread said that this was the solution, see; )?
I suppose that my prerequisite will look as follows:
BKPF-BLART = 'KR' OR BKPF-BLART = 'RE' (I want the check when entering both an invoice in FB60 and MIRO)
How will my "check step" look like when I want to check if this reference has been entered before? Please describe in technical name.
Is it possible to do a validation for getting a warning, or is it just possible with error message?
I have also tried to change in IMG, in Material management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming invoice > Set check for Duplicate invoices. Here we have all fields selected (check co. code, check reference, check inv. date). I changed to just select check reference, but this doesn´t solved my problem.
Best regards Lisa

Hello Lisa,
Your first question,
Yes system does not check MIRO invoice while posting FB60 invoice. Because when you post invoice with using FB60 transaction, system check BSIP table for duplication. But when you post MIRO invoice system doesn't fill BSIP table.
So that your question answer is YES, you can register an invoice in MIRO with same reference without a warning.
Your second question,
BTE means Business Transaction Event. Those events are known as FI user-exit.
So that when you posting an invoice with using FB60, system triggered on BTE 00001110 as i said on my previous message.
I try to explain step by step how can you activate this BTE. But you need to ABAPer for giving warning message on this exit.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product : ZXX
Text : BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active : tick checkbox.
Call SE37 for exit function and copy from FM SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001110 to ZFI_PROCESS_00001110. Then active your FM and go to FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process : 00001120
Function Module : ZFI_PROCESS_00001110
Product : ZFI
And then you can some write ABAP code for validation and give warning message.
In this FM, If you don't want to check duplicate invoice for your cases you can set export parameter e_nostd = 'X'.
I hope it helps to you,
Regards,
Burak
