Electronic invoices

Hi All,
In our implementation the client wants the following electronic invoicing capabilities
1) Scanning : Is there SAP standard capabilities to scan invoices in order to transfer them into electronic format
2) OCR (Optical character Recognition) : Based on scanned invoice system should prefill major part of invoice value fields automatically
3) EDI invoice receiving : SAP capabilities of receiving EDI invoices
4) Electronic Workflow : If/when invoice needs manual verification for an reason or other this needs to be done in electronic flow, ie AP clerk sends the invoice in pdf or similar format to receipient who then checks the invoice/corrects receiving/PO whatever and thereafter this persons foreman (information of the name in the workflow already) approves invoice/other changes.
Please provide me some information on these topics. I know that it is possible to receive invoices electronically via EDi interface in SAP, but I want to understand the whole set up....
Regards,
V S

Hi
You will need external systems to help you here. SAP recommends OpenText VIM as Account Payable invoices. This is an add on tool that is installed on your ECC System can help you in the rquirements you ve specified.

  • Argentina electronic Invoices

    I am currently working on Argentina's Electronic Invoices implementation and applied the OSS notes described below in my develpment system.
    I have some doubts about the SAP solution, as follows:
    - Is there any other OSS note that should have been applied besides the ones I have already done?
    - Does the solution cover Export Sales operation ? If not, is it any estimate from SAP to cover also export sales ?
    - Is it possible to implement the solution only for part of the operation , I mean, if I want to implement only for export sales for example ? I am asking that, because based on the solution proposed by SAP  the only way to do that would be by creating new document types, that would cause a huge impact in our environment. I think there should be a more reasonable solution for that.
    - Do you know if there is any SAP customer using the solution in a production environment ?
    - The SAP solution does not cover the communication with AFIP via Webmethods. Is there any plan to provide it ? I am not talking about the webmethods part, but the SAP part, like RFC, data base tables, SAP monitor, etc.
    After implementing the OSS notes we got some abap dumps, and for oine of them SAP said the would deliver the solution only in the next support pack, that is why I am not sure if the solution really works.
    I would appreciate if someone could give me a contact in SAP (phone number) who I could talk about the solution.

    Hi Ulisses Martine,Shankar,Carlos Daniel,Renan correa,Rudolf  and Victor,
    I need you guys help.The below is my clients requirement for number ranges for Invoices in SAP ECC 6:
    They have different Points of sales (POS) and they want different invoice number ranges from different point of sales.
    As you know SAP is having the Issuing branch concept and I have done below basic configuration for this but not able to get the number range for different issuing branch.
    Define Issuing branches
    Define document class
    Assign document class to document type (RV) >>later I have assigned this RV to billing type F2 (here my question is i have different document class for Invoice,credit memo ,debit memo etc. and for Invoice and debit memo the document type is same RV,how iI'll assign one or more document class to document type RV though SAP has provided it as one-one relationship)
    Maintain Number groups
    Assigned Sales area to issuing branch(here my question is if the i have more that one issuing branch for one sales area then how i'll go further)
    After the above configuration also I am not getting the different number range for invoice from different issuing branch.
    Please let me know if any one is having any suggestion for this or user exit or SAP note i need to follow.
    If you have any document please sent to [email protected], it would really help me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Oracle B2B and Electronic Invoicing Regulations

    Hi!
    I'm looking for information how to use Oracle Integration B2B (and/or other Oracle products) to effectivly mange and store Electronic Invoices.
    Local regulations require us to preserve not only the Payload (XML for example) but also the digital signature of the message and to store such information for 6 years. (We are not using any EDI providers beetween us and our TP)
    Please give me some hints about this topic.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi,
    As you know it might not be a good idea to keep the 6 year old record in the B2B repository. However we can use the below options
    1. Archive the data base regularly
    2. Use instance message utility to read (and then archive) the message from the B2B to get the wiremessage(has signed/encrypted message) and business message(actual payload).

  • Electronic invoice for customers

    Hello experts
    I look for the function which is sent Electronic invoice for customers.
    Right now we are using 4.6C and our customer use SAP also.
    Our industory is consumer product and chemical product.
    Our requirements are follows.
    - Electronic invoices should be digitally signed from our side
    - The electronic invoice has to be converted from SAP format to a standard format accepted by the customer (common standard formats are PDF, XML, etc..)
    - The files have to be automatically distributed from SAP to customer platform (SAP Server to local server to customer IT system/platform),
    - File distribution tool should be able to be easily managed for several customers (FTP file transfer customer by customer could be become too complicated depending on the number of customers).
    Are there any solution or similar case with us?

  • Processing Electronic Invoices using BPEL/SOA suite.

    Hi,
    We have a requirement in our projects as:
    We need to create Electronic Invoices for all Receivable Transactions for those Customers with whom there is an Agreement to send Invoice information electronically. We need to send the Invoice details(xdf format/XML output) to customers seeking an acknowledgement. While sending the Invoice details to the customer we need to send an attchment with it.
    We are planning to achieve this using Oracle SOA Suite and BPEL Process. Can any one please help us in approaching the design?

  • Crystal layout for electronic invoice

    Good afternoon Friends.
    I wonder if any of you know any printing layout to electronically invoice in crystal that allows editing.
    I am creating a print layout but it does not want to create from the beginning.
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards to all.

    hi,
    There is no any functionality like "Define screen layout" for MIRO transaction.....
    Take help of ABAPer who can resolve your problem via coding....
    you can never ever do a MIRO for 2 vendors at a time.....
    Miro trasaction is possible for only one vendor at a time....
    and if thinking logically its abs correct...why do you need to pay to two vendors at a time..there may be different tax, freight calculation which is placed header....
    hope it helps....

  • Argentina Electronic Invoice - FI Document posted before approval

    Dear Guru´s.
    We implemented the Argentina Electronic Invoice and find a problem with FI documents.
    When we created billing documents from Argentina, this must be blocked to accounting and posted after approval electronic response by AFIP.
    We executed a test with billing documents and this was posted to FI before the approval by AFIP through transactions VFX3 or VF02.
    There´s any standart solution for prevent to this FI documents never can be posted before to the approval by AFIP?
    Thanks for all sugestions or help.
    Silvana Santos

    Dear Krishna,
    Thanks for your help,
    1.Posting block:You can assign a posting to your billing document type by using the T.Code "VOFA".System will not release the billing document for accounting.It will be done after by using VFX3 T.Code.You can provide authorisation for this T.Code to certain users only.
    Response: We used this configuration and all documents for accounting are generated blocked. But in to Argentina electronic process the documents  accounting just unblocked if authorized by AFIP. Our problem is the documents are unblocked by inadvertently running step to use transaction VFX3 before the approval.
    ie is necesary keep locked until approval by AFIP even if the transacction VFX3 for example be executed.
    best regards,
    Silvana Santos.

  • AR Electronic invoices related

    Hello,
    We have requirement to send electronics invoices to our customers on regular basis. Electronics invoicing has high volume.
    1.) Pls suggest best practices to achieve this?
    2.) Pls suggest any third party application (approved by Oracle) to do this.
    Pls note: Electronic invoices are NOT related to Brazil or Chile localization where invoices are electronically transmitted to government for approval,
    with regards,

    Hi again
    Well, I would focus on adjusting the update profile rather than using filters for commitments/actuals. You might refer to the documentation in the corresponding IMG activity :
    "Requirements
    As far as possible, exclude only the value types that are at the start of a commitment chain (for example,  purchase requisitions, funds reservations, purchase orders and so on), but not cash-relevant value types, such as invoices or payments.
    When excluding a given value type, you must also exclude all other value types of earlier steps in the commitment chain. Example: If you exclude funds precommitments, then you must at least exclude funds reservations, too.
    Note that you must set the GR/IR update indicator for the value MM invoice receipt in the Customizing settings of your FM update profile (transaction OFUP), if you exclude value type 60 (parked documents), but not value type 54 (invoices)."
    Update profile 300:
    - Value type 54 (Invoices) should be better customized using 'Due date' (this is normally calculated based on payment terms)
    - If you tested a new invoice with an old PO, it is very probable that you have inconsistencies, so errors may appear. If you are in a development system, I think you could leave it like that and prepare a completely new document chain to test the profile changes.
    You can also reconstruct existing old values by using the tools provided in note 189761
    good luck

  • SD electronic invoicing

    Hello all!
    Could anyone help me with the following: we have a customer who would like to receive electronic invoices (instead of physical ones). We do not have anything prepared for electronic invoicing and all our invoices are printed. Is there a way to obtain a file (idoc) to send him with the relevant data? In legal terms we would still send him the physical invoice.
    Thank you very much
    best regards
    Joana Trigo

    You need to first create the new output type (say, ZD05) in Tcode V/40 for the invoice to send externally (i.e as Email attachment).
    Output type ZD05 and Application V3.
    In the mail Title and texts enter the title (Subject).
    In the processing routines select medium as External Send and program RLB_INVOICE , Form routine as ENTRY and your smartform (you have created Z smartform layout as per your requirement for this) name in the PDF/Smartform form.
    In the partner function tree, select bill-to-party(BP) for External send. SAVE it.
    Go to SCOT transaction check if you have node for INT , for example for us we have EMAIL, if not create one using the create button. (These things shud be created by BASIS).
    Double click the node and a window will popup, hope that all the SMTP details are entered like Mail Host , Mail Port.
    Now go to Supported Address types, select the Internet and press the SET button. now select PDF for SAP Scripts/ Smartforms and save thats.
    Then create a invoice and select the ZD05 output type(youe can also do output determination for the same for your billing type) and send the email. and also maintain email id for the customer or Bill-to-party.
    Hope this can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    The Peer-to-Peer Blocking feature blocks communication between each two clients on the same WLC (option drop). If you want to extend blocking over your whole WLAN then choose forward upstream and let the central switch decide (configure Private VLANs there: let the client VLANs be isolated and the upstream port promiscuous).

    Hi Experts,
    Some one can help one of our User want electronic invoice information in the form of an XML file. How to do this
    XML stands for ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    MH

    Hello,
    XML means EXTENSIBLE MARK UP LANGAGE
    To convert Idoc to XML please follow the following link
    /people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm and also
    1) If you want to save your idoc as an XML in some directory, You need to create the xml port in R/3 system. It is the standard functionality of R/3. the xml file will be saved in directory you mention in your port.
    2) To send XML idoc from R/3 to XI. -- you dont need to do anything just trigger IDoc using WE19 ans send it to XI. Sender IDoc will convert it to XML automatically.
    3) You can also use ABAP, JAVA or XSLT code to convert FLat Idoc to xml.
    There is also a FM which converts the Idoc to xml
    IDOCS_OUTPUT_IN_XML_FORMAT
    Please revert if you have any queries.

  • Electronic Invoice for Argentina

    Hi,
    I'm working on the implementation of Argentina´s Electronic Invoice Process.
    I have applied all the Notes suggested by SAP (detail below)
    As per the legal resolution RG 1361 of the Government of Argentina, companies are supposed to use Electronic Duplicates, which implies adjustments in Daily VAT Report and a File with all the Electronic Invoices issued by the company.
    The first requirement is solved by Note 1413253 but there is no resolution offered by SAP regarding the file with Electronic Invoices.
    Does anyone knows if SAP is going to release a new note regarding that issue?
    Thanks

  • Electronic invoice verification

    Dear SAP community!
    We are planning to start using of electronic invoice verification procedure. According to our rules invoices without variances or with small differences should be parked as complete. Invoice with price differences should be saved with unclarified errors, but invoices with quantity differences should be reduced due to vendor error. I investigated this problem and found that for this purposes IDOC INVOIC01 would be useful, but can I assign status "park as complete" to no errors invoices, and split vendor's errors into "unclarified error:park invoice" and "vendor error:reduce invoice"?
    Thank You,
    Natalija

    Hi Karen,
    According to Note 103051 - EDI: Multiple reference to same purchase order item.
    Module IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM (only as of Release 4.0) for the logistics invoice verification can distinguish different goods receipts by means of the delivery note number. For this purpose, GR-related invoice verification must be active. Please check the note.
    Thank you,
