ERS and price blocking

Can any one confirm that MRRL (ERS settlement) will block an invoice for price during the settlement? If this is possible what is the trigger?
I have not experienced this in the past but have a current example that at least for now looks like the settlement blocked the invoice. We haven't replicated this nor have I looked at it in much detail, just wanted to understand from this group if anyone has any experience with ERS blocking invoices.
Thanks
Sandra

for consignement it is MRKO...........that cycle is completely different........
but as a refresher I will suggest you one thing.....this was my earlier reply to earlier thread..........
The example displays the tolerance limits for price variances for an estimated price. If the purchasing department flags the order price as an estimated price in the purchase order, these tolerance limits are checked at invoice receipt. Both a percentage and an absolute variance are set for the upper and lower limits. If one of these limits is exceeded, the system displays a warning message. If one of the upper limits is exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when it is posted.
If you generally do not want to block an invoice item on the basis of a particular variance, you must set all the tolerance limits to Do not check. For example, you would not want to have the system check for quantity shortfall if you often receive invoices for part quantities.
If you want to block an invoice item on the basis of a particular variance in all cases, set the value and percentage for the upper limit to zero and select Check limit.
You can define up to four limits for each tolerance:
Lower limit
Absolute
Do not check
Check limit: X
Value: 20.00
Percentage
Do not check
Check limit: X
25 %
Upper limit
Absolute
Do not check
Check limit: X
Value: 10.00
Percentage
Do not check
Check limit: X
10 %
both these values are in reference of the estimated price.
If in figures absolute and if in %ge Percentage in context of estimated Price

Quantity and Price block on MM docs not appearingin MRBR list

Hi Gurus
Even if there are quantity and prices blocks in the MM doument , the MRBR list doesnot display the blocked documents.
As a result we are not able to release the documents and remove the block.
What could be the possible reason for this?
And is there any other way to remove the block on MM document without going through MRBR.?
Early Response is highly Appreciated
Thanks a Lot
Rgds

hi,
If you do not want to check the Invoice for tolerance keys like quantity variance and price varaince then tick on don't check .In this case system will not block any invoice and invoice will post Automatically without any error.
Please check other tolerance keys in SPRO: OMR6
One more blocking is defined in the vendor master also under payment transactions accounting screen.There you are defining the tolerance group for Invoice Verification.

Mrbr quantity and price block

Dear Forum,
I got the help from forum at which point it is get blocked and obviously during miro.
Now I would like to know the below assuming over tolerance limit :
1) quantity variance say PO-100unit GR-80unit IR-50unit
the variance is IR against GR right? this will get blocked. correct?
2) quantity variance say PO-100unit GR-80unit IR-80unit
this will NOT get blocked as IR and GR the same. correct?
3) price variance compare the unit price between PO and IR only. correct?
Thanks

3) price variance compare the unit price between PO and IR only. correct?
1.Yes due to the difference in qty and price it will get blocked depending upon the configuration of Tolerance limit
2.Yes, since GR and IR qty remains same and if the price is also same(PO and IR) this will not get blocked
3.Yes

Reg Price block and Qty block in MM Invoice docs Tolerence Keys adjustment

Hi Friends,
Related to MM Invoice documents gets blocked with Price block and Qty block,based on this FI doc also gets blocked with Payment block indicator"R".As per Std SAP we can remove these blocks thru MRBR. Right now my users are asking not required to remove these blocks with MRBR Tcode.
So i checked the Tolerence Limits defined for the co code and Tolerence keys.
As per my understanding Tolerence Keys "PP-Price variance", "DQ-Exceed amount: quantity variance" need to adjust with upper llimits and Lower Limits.
here i can see Upper and Lower check limit Tolerance limit 5.00% for Tolerence Key "PP-Price variance"
Tolerence limit 0.01% for Tolerence key "DQ-Exceed amount: quantity :quantity variance
Instead of changing the Tolerence Limits can i select the DO NOT CHECK Radio button for the bothe Price and Qty block.
If i selected the DO NOT check button what will happen,how it works.
How i can maintain the Tolerence keys,is there any other Tolerence keys also need to maintain.
Please suggest me with your valuable inputs.
Brgds,
RK

Release Invoice Price Block and Quantity Block

Hi,
How can I release the Invoice Price and Quantity block at the same time? I need to create a Step in a work flow to release all blocks of a two-way match block invoice.
I've already tried to have a BDC for transaction MRBR but it is not working.
Can anyone help?

Hi Simi,
This type of behaviour is documented in SAP note 394370:
"A document generated with MIRO was blocked for payment.You cancel the
payment block from the vendor line item in the FI follow-up
document.Transaction MRBR then displays the invoice document
nevertheless. Why?
The invoice document itself cannot be changed by changes to the
follow-up documents; this is not programmed.Transaction MRBR therefore
continues to display the document as blocked. If this document is
released from an MM point of view, the FI follow-up document remains
released.Thus the damage caused is restricted to unnecessary work by the
user.
SAP recommends that you only use the release transactions for releasing
invoices."
MRBR generates its list of blocked invoices from table RBKP_BLOCKED and is the
only transaction which deletes entries from this table thats why when your report
calls FB02 to remove the payent block MRBR will still show the invoice as blocked.
You could code in a pop up message in your report that prevents the user from
deleting the payment block and to advise using MRBR instead to delete the block.
Hope this helps,
Adam.

Authorization Check in SD for Price and Credit,Debit and Returns Block

Dear Gurus,
Need your help on this
Whom so ever is creating the sales order should not able to see the price of the product on the header and item of the screen of the Sales order or Profit Margin
Whom so ever is creating credit, debit, return request should not be able to release billing and delivery block from the sales order screen of VA01
How can I stop this in authorization . Which authorization object shall I use in this case
Kindly guide me in this
Thanks
Krishna

Hi Krishna
If nobody should see the price of the product at header and item level then you have to go with a enhancement that price condition type should not be viewed.
For Credit , Debit and Return process , if release to billing is there then go with a output that once the billing is blocked then a output should get triggered and that output should go to the concerned person and he should release to billing. and for delivery block maintain delivery block for the sales document type and keep the delivery block feild in disable mode.so in the same way for billing to release to billing as one output type has to be configured in the same way for delivery block also maintain another output type and once the delivery is blocked some person will release the block to create the delivery document.
Thanks and Regards

How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been

Hi,
How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been done GR and LIV? Thanks.

Hi,
Price anyway cannot be changed once GR is posted on the PO item, it can be changed only by cancelling the GR, the same applies to IR too.
But quantity can be changed at any time.
So if you are looking at blocking qty too, then a customized message through save exit is the option, I am not aware of any standard SAP messages that can be configured to achieve this..

Invoice price block,PO in different currency

Hi,
The PO and the invoice are in different currency and the invoice is price blocked.
1.What do i do?
2.And how to check the difference in amount if the currency of PO and invoice are different?And what is to be done for it?
3.The accounting document is already created for the invoice.Does this mean the invoice is already posted?If yes, does it mean it is possible to post an invoice even if some of its items are blocked?

Hi
If invoice currency (say USD) is different from PO currency (INR), then you can enter invoice currency (USD) in invoice under basic data tab -next to amount field. Then PO currency (INR) will be calculated with invoice currency (USD) exchange rate on that date and new value will be proposed in USD.
If the exchange rate is not taken care then it will go to expense/stock account.
Thanks

MIRO: Activate Workflow template for Price Blocking

Dear Friends,
I am in the process of configuring WF for the Price block at the time of posting of invoices.
I maintain the following setting in customizing:
Logistics Invoice Verification->Invoice Block->Activate Workflow Template->TG 20000030 Assign agents to tasks->WS 20000397 Treatment of inv. blkd for price, Log.IV->TS 20000661 At least 1 item blocked for price reas.?
Now for this task, I want to assign the PO creator. I do not want to assign Agent as a specific SAP user. It should be the generic user who creates the PO.
Business Requirement: A mail should be sent to purchaser, when the invoice is blocked for price reasons.
Please Advise.
With Kind Regards
Faisal

Friends,
I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
Further I understand how this is done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
Thank you so much.

Price Block across Invoices (not per invoice)

Guys
Do you know of a way to implement price block on the PO level? PP price block is per invoice, is there another way i can set it up so that all invoices are looked at for price block not at a per invoice level?
Using PP: I can have many invoices, all can potentially be 200 over without going into block.

For clarification
Lets assume i have a PO for Qty 10 and price 10000
If i set PP block for 250, it means i can post
Invoice 1: Qty 1, price 1200
Invoice 2: Qty 1, price 1200
Invoice 3: qty 1 , Price 1200 .. and so on
Now if i see none of these invoices go into price block - but i have exceeded po price by 2000
I want to setup price block such that if sum total of all 10 invoices exceeds 250, it should go into price block.
Any ideas?

Gr based iv and variance block

Dear Forum,
If gr based iv no flag and over tolerance, if there is difference in quantity or price, the posting will post to price difference. Now my question is will variance cause block when gr based iv not flagged?
1) GR based iv NOT ticked. variance IR after GR. the variance can block?
2) GR based iv NOT ticked. variance GR after IR. the variance can block?
Thanks

Hi
In case of GR based IV not ticked means it is PO based IR. In this case you can post IR before GR but the payment is blocked even if the qty and price are same as per PO as their is no qty received
In this case at the time of IR
Vendor account Credit
GR/IR account Debit
If their is price/qty differnance
Vendor account Credit
GR/IR account Debit
Price Differance account ( for differance in price/qty)
In case of GR based IV not ticked means it is PO based IR.
GR is posted before IR
At the time at GR
In this case
Stock account Dedit
GR/IR account Crebit
At the time of IR
Vendor account Credit
GR/IR account Debit
Them Payment is not blocked
If their is price/qty differnance
Vendor account Credit
GR/IR account Debit
Price Differance account ( for differance in price/qty)
Then payment is blocked for price /qty varaiance
