GR Based invoice tick to be made done after goods receipt

Hai,
I need a way to do mass updation of GR Based Invoice tick in PO in which goods is already received.
Some of POs released without this tick and migo is already done. but now I want to tick that check box
but in system it is in non editable mode.
regards
Madhu.

Hi, Madhu,
I had the same problem. This field becomes readonly when a good receipt or an invoice is booked. Mass maintenance, LSMW and CATT do not help. But you can use SE16N to set (X) the EKPO-WEBRE field and the goods receipts and the invoices take it into consideration as it was set in the first place.
Now, running SE16N for a few items it's ok, but if you have thousands of items to modify it becomes out-of-hand. I tried a LSMW on SE16N, unfortunately with no success. Then I tried a Windows program to record the keyboard and mouse actions combined with a tab delimited text file with PO number and PO item and, voila, I have 33000 items modified. The program I used is AutoIt, but there are many free programs doing the same thing.
Three notes:
1. Use it on your own risk. SAP Note 457511(FAQ: Purchase order change and goods receipt in purchasing) warns: It inevitably leads to follow-on errors because of mutual field relationships.
2. SE16N it's not a good place to fool around.
3. In this way you use SE16N online, so it takes A LOT of time.
Hope it helps,
George

GR based invoice tick for Import

Hello all,
I have created Scheduling agreement for import in which GR based invoice tick comes automatically from vendor master. Now, I want to remove GR based invoice tick from Vendor master. I have made GR based invoice tick optional in SA screen layout and removed GR based tick in Vendor master but when i'm going to save it, system gives error, "fill required entry"
Now,I have made GR based tick invoice optional in Field selection group and removed GR based invoice tick and save it...but still getting the error, "The supplier has the same Tax Code".
Please suggest.

GR based Iv tick mark cannot be unchecked after a MIRO or MIGO

Dear Friends,
Pls provide your valuable inputs for the below:
When creating an import PO, GR based IV was not unchecked and PO got created,
later on MIRO for customs has happened and subsequently user realised that GR based IV needs to be unchecked.
I am of the opinion that once a follow on doc has been created the system greys out GR based IV . This can again be in change mode only after cancellation of the follow on doc and also making changes for GR based IV from mandatory to optional at screen layout for the particular T code ME22n .
Kindly correct me if i am wrong.. Is there any other way where we can solve this by not cancelling the documents?
Thanks
nandu

Hi
Cancel your invoice goto Transaction ME22N, you will be able to reset the GR-Based IV flag.
But if you have already done a GR and cancel that you will not be able to flag the GR-Based IV field.
So you can do for invoices but not for Goods receipt follow on documents
Thanks & Regards

Prevent PO item from beeing changed after goods receipt or invoice receipt

Hi all,
Users had the good idea to change the description of the goods to be purchased, after a partial goods entry was already posted. Now they complain that what they get is not what they ordered (...)
Is it possible to prevent a PO item line from beeing changed with ME22N, after e.g. a partial goods receipt has been posted, or the MIRO posting has been done?
Thanks for information!

Kurt,
Standard SAP doesnt restrict you to PO changes when subsequent documents are posted.
You can have a Customer Exit to check in MSEG Table if any subsequent document exists for the PO entered in the PO number field. the exit could be used to check PO if MIRO/ MIGO have been posted or not.
Also define error messages if the documents are posted, user should get error message.

Po getting deleted after goods receipt and invoice verificatiob done.

Dear all,
PO is geeting deleted after GRN and IR has been done. it should not happen.
PO is not getting deleted whn SES is made and release and giving standard error.
but PO is geeting deleted after GRN and IR has been done. it should not happen.
please help in this case.
thanks.

Hi,
That's correct, System is working as designed.
When all the procurement process is finished, it must be possible to delete the PO item for example for archiving purpose .
You can see the on-line help on that matter:
You cancel items in a purchase order by deleting them.
Please note that an item may only be deleted if it is closed (that is
to say , there is no outstanding quantity to be delivered or invoiced).
Items are regarded as closed if, for example:
· the ordered quantity (or more) has already been delivered
· the ordered quantity has been invoiced in full
· no related follow-on processes (such as reservations) are active
in the stystem."
As you have already received the goods and posted the invoice, the deletion of the item shall have no effect. The procurement process has been completed.
If however you try to delete the item after GR but before invoice receipt, the procurement process is not complete, therefore the error occurs.
Also note the item shall be marked as deleted, but not actually removed from the System, it shall still be available for reporting.
I hope this is answering your question.

Park invoices that havent been Goods Receipted

Dear Gurus,
We are looking at a way of parking invoices on our system that havent been GRN'd but want to maintain Goods-Receipt-Based IV button ticked in the PO to ensure that the functionality around this are maintained.
We also want to be able to allocate the PO line items to the Invoice but again if it hasnt been GRN'd MIRO doesnt pick up the PO in question.
I have looked at transaction MIRA but this only Holds an invoice rather than Parking it and we need to be able to allocate a FI Document.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to ask for additional information.
Regards
John

The advantage of parking is that you are still able to modify while this is not possible with holding.
You can distribute the work between 2 users
Especially when working with EDI you often get the invoice much earlier than the goods, and those invoices are all parked.
The SAP release notes 4.6c already explain:
Update allocation
If goods-receipt-based invoice verification has been defined and no goods receipt has been posted yet, you can park an invoice document simply by saving the allocation without any invoice items. If you want to process this parked invoice document further at a later time and a goods receipt has been posted in the meantime, the system can find this goods receipt. Choose the icon Update allocation to do this.
And this docu explains as well in detail how documents are parked in case of GR based IV:

Invoice receipt vs. good receipt

Hi.
Is it possible to post an invoice in case of standard SAP settings for PO line item which has 'GR-Based Invoice Verification' checkbox not selected and also 'Goods Receipt' checkbox in 'Delivery' tab is not selected.
Our system is highly customized and custom logic prevents invoice postings when there is no 'GR-Based Invoice Verification' indicator, however I am interested how this is handled in case of standard SAP logic.
Thanks,
Artur

Here you are not restricting to post invoice document against PO
Case 1: If you dont select Goods Receipt in delivery tab ,System will not allow you Goods Receipt .But system will allow you to post invoice.
Case 2 :If you unflag the Gr based inv system will not refore before you do invoice.If you raise Invoice as PO based invoice.

PO based Invoice posting

Hi ,
How do I do PO based invoice posting . I have always done GR based Invoice verification . But I have a scenario where the vendor wants to do invoice before GRN . So I guess we will have to do PO based invoice verification.
Regards
Nandini

Hi
You can do the Invoicing with reference to PO just like any other Invoicing, the difference in your case is you will get empty line items in MIRO screen since you have not done any Goods receipt. In Import PO scenario we carry out similar payment clearences for all kinds of taxes. So there is nothing psecial yo have to do , only thing you need to take care is that you do not have the Gr-Bsd IV indicator activated.

Intercompany billing RD04 with goods-receipt-based invoice verification

Hi members,
we think about making use of the automated intercompany billing functionality with the RD04.
In our logistic processes we apply the goods-receipt-based invoice verification. This is a very important requirement. That means that invoices can be only posted if the goods receipt has taken place.
Is there a possibility to configure the automated intercompany billing so that this requirement is met?
Any ideas? Any documents? Helpful links?
Thank`s in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Imer,
I believe you must be following any one of below process steps for Inter company Billing:
Sales Order
Delivery
Customer Invoice
Inter-company Invoice
Or
Inter company STO
Delivery
Invoice
GR Based on Inter Company STO
Automatic Vendor Posting (RD04)
If you are following first process then no need for GR at all.
If it is second process then assign Requirement Routine (Logic: Check GR has been completed or not for STO, if completed Pass the requirement else fail. take MM consultant's help for exact table and field details if needed.)
Change the RD04 trigger based on Background Job processing and Run Background job for processing of the Output type.
Regards,
MJ.

System is allowing to do invoice verification before goods receipt.

Dear Friends,
I need your help in following scenario, as my system is allowing to do invoice verification before goods receipt.
To test these scenario.I have created one PO. For this PO I done goods receipt. I done invoice verification by putting invoice date as past date, posting date system date means current date. I want to stop this as system is allowing invoicing verification to be done before goods receipt.
Also, I tried after un-ticking GR based IV.
Please suggest me the solution how to stop this. Please help this is urgent.
With Best Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
A)
In goods-receipt-based (GR-based) invoice verification, the invoice relates not to the purchase order, but to individual deliveries. That is to say, the reference document for the invoice is not the PO but the delivery note or the goods receipt document.
Whether you use this approach depends on your billing arrangement with the vendor. This method can be advantageous, for example, when you know the order will be fulfilled by means of many partial deliveries.
Prerequisites
Before you can use GR-based invoice verification, the following prerequisites must be satisfied:
The indicator for GR-based invoice verification (GR-based IV) must be selected for the relevant item in the purchase order (item detail screen).
<b>
A goods receipt must occur before the invoice is entered in the system.</b>
B) If you are carrying out invoice verification with reference to PO, system will not check for the GR. The entire PO amount can be posted.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks,
Viswanath

Invoices posted without good receipt initial posting - please help

Hi Gurus,
I would like to ask you if you have and answer / solution for this situation.
I have a release order with 6 invoices + goods receipt. The problem here is that all the invoices were posted, but not the initial goods receipt. a Financial account had already been posted as well, so i dont know how i will solve this situation !!
Can u please help me ?
If u need more information please ask me.
Thanks in advance,
Mário.

Hi
If you see these invoices in the vendor line items, all would have got payment block in it. Unless GR is done for these PO's, it will not get released automatically. If GR is not required for these invoices, then you will be able to make payment. But if GR based IV is ticked in PO, unless you do GR, you will not be able to make payment to the vendor.
You can still post GR through MIGO for the same PO. System will allow you to post GR for these invoices.

Create PO related invoice - before goods receipt/confirmation

Hi all, sorry to ask this very basic question as our system is not working at the moment and I cannot test this out and have very little experience creating PO related invoice in SRM.
First of all, we are operating on SRM 4. I would like to find out whether it is possible to create an invoice with reference to a PO before we create the goods receipt.
The reason why I ask this question is because I was reading up on the IMS functionality that is available from SRM 5 onwards and it listed the functionalities that are available that weren't in the earlier releases. One point mentioned was on the ability to receipt invoice prior to confirmation of goods receipt. I also read from the help document that we can enter invoice with reference to PO for which confirmations have already been entered or for which no confirmations are expected. There is no mention on situations when the confirmation is not done yet.
Appreciate your advice on the above.
Cheers!
SF

Sorry all, I think I am confusing everyone. May be it's because the question is too basic. There is nothing fancy with the PO here. It's a PO initiated from SRM with goods receipt and invoice receipt indicator turned on BUT NOT GR-BASED invoice indicator. I just want to know whether it is possible for me to create an invoice with reference to the PO in SRM if I have not yer done the goods receipt. If I do this in ECC/R3, the invoice would have been blocked (if tolerance allowed).
Even though I know that this should be possible in SRM but because some statements in the SAP help documentation sort of implies that it might not be the case and I do not want to assume it. Plus I have not worked with creating PO related invoices in SRM before and so just want to confirm that it is working. It doesn't help when I was trying to test this scenario in our own system that the system outputs a message relating to backend communication not working.
However, I finally got a chance to test this in another client' site and found that it is possible to create an invoice with reference to a PO even before the goods receipt is posted. Though I have yet to find out why I am getting a different error in our own system, I am happy for now that it is working.
Thanks all for your reply!

Relate AP Invoice and Goods Receipt PO

When I right click on a/p invoice(OPCH) and select base document then Goods Receipt PO(OPDN) is opened.How these two tables are related ? I am using the following query to create qld -
SELECT * from OPDN,OPCH where OPDN.DocEntry=OPCH.DocEntry
These two tables are not related to each other with the help of field DocEntry.When the base document of a/p invoice is selected , specific goods receipt po is selected.How these two tables ie OPCH and OPDN are related to each other ?

Hi,
Those are not the OPCH and OPDN tables which are related but the line level tables as PCH1 and PDN1. The fields they are connected on are: PCH1.BaseEntry and PDN1.TrgetEntry.

Purchase Order Module - Goods Receipt PO - Goods Return - AP Invoice

Hi all expert,
I have a senario is :-
Open Purchase Order Module -> Goods Receipt PO -> Goods Return -> AP Invoice
Puchase Product A by "Purchase Order" with Qty 6,000 After "Good Receipt PO", found out 3,500 pcs is out of spec then "Goods Returns" 3,500 pcs. Then continue do "AP Invoice" with Qty 2,500 pcs.
Question is 1 week later, the supplier replacement back 3,500 pcs, so how am i going to start to steps? since PO have been close.
When i at "Goods Receipt PO" wanna to copy from "Goods Return", it is show nothing.
Your advise is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Danny

Hi Danny
i think you have to create a new PO then GRN then PI...since you copied the PO to GRN it will show as closed as there is a target doc. linked to the PO. A PO can be changed only if there is no target doc linked to it .
Hope this helps.
